Turns out that movie trailer is just a holodeck experience.

SPOCK'S BRAIN: THE MOTION PICTURE

also, considering the age of Quinto , this would def. seem to put the academy ideas out of scope, he's too old. I guess he still looks younger than nimoy did around the first season though. who knows? it would make more sense to set this before the first film but after the series.

now I feel like a 12 year old again!

this should be cool, it's nice to see them send nimoy off into retirement. i'd be surprised if they fuck this film up, since star trek's cultural capital is about as low as it can be right now.

i dunno, i think the true nadir was when Star Trek: Nemesis came out

that evil spock's beard episode originally aired on the exact day i was born.

ts: john craven vs andi peters?

Russell Crowe -- the new Ricardo Montalban or the new F. Murray Abraham?

better Crowe than Tom Cruise

"They want him to zoom through that black hole as the dude in the black hat."

otoh I have no idea wtf this means

"Trek Begins" is a genuinely stupid, terrible idea. It's possible there are good ideas left in Trek (I've never bothered with the end of Voyager or Enterprise, and definitely never bothered with the books) but I really doubt it.

When DS9 ended I thought maybe a series about non-Star Fleet Federation types (probably diplomats) running around trying to stop the aftermath of the Dominion war from descending into chaos would be a good idea, but I'm not so sure of that anymore. Anyway, no one but total jerkbag obsessives (raises hand) cared about DS9.

it is kinda weird how they deliberately keep trying to go backwards (what with Enterprise and now this). Seems kinda antithetical to Roddenberry's method. I don't think there's any question that, much as I hate Rick Berman, Next Generation was the most succesful of the extensions of the franchise.

TNG is my favorite, even better than the original. I don't get why people are so up on Chuck Norris when superdick Lt. Riker once crescent kicked a guy who fell backward onto a glass or possibly synthglass table and shattered it, Riker all stoic and hatable.

"superdick" lolz

"let me play you this love jam I just wrote"

Ep. with the second Riker = so +++ classic bcz Riker's couchehat is cocked at maximum angle. Riker having to interact with his hideous self, and practicing hilarious Klingon tai-chi with Troi that gets 'steamy' in a complete cockdrooping/vagdrying way, and Jordi and Data kind of standing around on some vine planet with question marks over their heads.

HAHA THAT IS THAT EPISODE

couchehat = douchehat

"Deeana remember alternate me who is me right now and how we erotically molded a ceramic pot that one time? THAT's ME, I AM YR RIKER, AND YOU ARE MY LEATHER CHAPS WEARING RIKER BABE. Replicator: One Syntha Colada, please.

Getting caught in the holorain.

aaaargh Ned you beat me to it ya bastid

It's been five years
Stuck far away
Five Years
Deanna my babe

Five years
For Deeana, my ma'am

Ryker seems like a total (captain's emergency escape) yacht rock dude of 2398 or whenever it was.

Patton Oswalt was OTM when he explained that the Star Wars prequels sucked because NO ONE CARES WHAT VADER WAS LIKE AS A KID. This will hold true in Star Trek. Why can't they just make another one where Kirk is chopping wood and then Picard shows up and they FIGHT.

that movie was terrible

That's certainly true. I don't think there's been a half decent star trek movie since the one with Christopher Plummer wearing a riveted-on eyepatch.

What, not even First Contact?

I guess that was about half decent.

yeah I agree with oilyrags - First Contact is mostly okay and then you get that guy from Babe shouting along to Steppenwolf = ugh

also the totally unnecessary inclusion of Alfre Woodard

Worf showing up for no reason, then expressing penis envy.

I just think its kinda lame and market-driven to make another prequel. The best sci-fi tricks you into looking at the present by projecting a new vision of the future - endlessly rehashing the same old version of the future is sorta counterintuitive.

Does counterintuitive mean boring?

sure

Hmmm,

Cardassia:Founders::Iraq:Bush administration...?

Maybe there is some juice in that old idea I mentioned upthread.

But then BG would be all like 'been there, done that.'

Enterprise is all about Bakula's Bush-in-Space impression.

It is also terrible.

(i.e. he does everything with a squinty resolve and good-ol-boy gumption)

did dean stockwell ever guest star
