I've not actually seen Nemesis come to think of it

The Enterprise E was nearly destroyed in First Contact but Data deactivated the self destruct. In Insurection they had to eject the warp core and in Nemesis they lost most of it when they rammed the Reman ship.

I don't really like the idea of them going back to Kirks era i'd rather them focus on after Voyager.

Don't waste your time. :n:

What?

are you kidding? It was pretty damned good.

No not really.

Probably because it was shit on, even by Trekkies, until like Season 3, when it started totally ripping off B5.

Yeah, I really would prefer to make the flagship of my franchise some shitty ripoff of JMS' work.

I disagree with you on this subject Mr. Mac.

It's called hyperbole. The Enterprise or other ship is in dire jeopardy so much it's become boring.

The original set of movies managed to avoid destroying the Enterprise or necessarily putting it in self destruct/blowing it up/crippling it at every opportunity. Sure, it did happen (Star Treks 2,3 and possibly Undiscovered Country depending...Pardon me for not remembering the title...), but it seemed to be hardly as prevalent.

The same's an issue with Voyager, where the Self Destruct was armed like every 3 episodes. At least with Enterprise, the dire jeopardy made sense: We were using infancy technology against established technology. As bad as the show was, and it was bad, it fit better. It's just that, eventually, it gets repetitive, boring, and every day is the end of the world. They managed to make threats seem impressive in the past without resorting to this shit.

Agreed. Completelly

It was an okay movie, but a bad send-off for the TNG crew.

Yes it was a poor way to end this line, if that is the case (it does seem to be) When the movie was made, I don't think however that was the intention, so it's not like it was poor execution on their part.

Hmmm, Matt Damon is no longer listed on the IMDB entry for this, it seems like it could've been hearsay that got out of hand. I'm sure he's a candidate but its obviously not finalised yet.

J.J. Abrams confirmed as 'Star Trek' director
Posted December 7, 2006 at 10:28 AM Central Time

By John Couture

In one of the industry's worst kept secrets, Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman confirmed this week that J.J. Abrams will indeed be at the helm of Star Trek XI. In case you've been living in on a not-so-deserted island these past few years, Abrams is the brains behind the hit TV shows Lost and Alias. J.J. also made his feature-length directing debut earlier this year on Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible III.

The long-rumored storyline of Star Trek XI centers on original Starfleet officers Kirk and Spock's first meeting at the Starfleet academy. Summer 2008 is still being pegged as the possible release date.

Eric Bana has been added as the villain 'Nero'.

Gotta be honest, Eric Bana is the man. Also Zoe Saldana set to play Uhura looks damn hot:y:

LOL Simon Pegg as Scotty.

Nemoy reprises his role as Spock in this? Cool

As 'old spock' looking back perhaps or (and god forbid) as some sort of narrator

Sylar from Heroes will be Spock.

Chris Pine has been confirmed as Kirk apparently

Never heard of him

Ugh.

Dunno, he was pretty good in Smokin Aces, I have faith that casting a character as pivotal as Kirk wouldn't be done lightly by Abrams.

He was only rumored last I checked.

Anyway, my father mentioned that he'd read something about them recasting Scotty and someone else to play elder versions of themselves in this movie.

There's a decent chance they show up at the end, or the beginning or something.

Simon Pegg is English right? I thought Scotty was supposed to be Scottish.

Ugh again. I understand SPock cause Nemoy is still alive but casting new people to play the TOS characters when their older is just not an appealing idea.

Then again I'm almost certain this whole project is just going to suck anyway.

It is a possibility (only a possibility I admit) that Pegg can do a Scottish accent, James Doohan wasn't Scottish either afterall.

Show of hands: How many Americans can tell the difference?

:wave:

Be honest.

Kane Knight used to be a member of a Scottish street gang, true story

Oddly enough, we were STILL blacker than Colin Powell

Did you just call me a n*gger?

Karl Urban is McCoy.

This is gonna suck

This is going to suck a whole lot.

You don't know that.

I always wondered why they cancelled enterprise. Then I saw an episode the other day with the big show in and understood completly :roll: The thing is with enterprise they starting doing shit, like reintroducing the borg which just was fucking stupid. The first couple of seasons were good then in just turned gay. Hopefully they dont do similar stupid things with this movie where they try to add a significant plot which is nether mentioned in the original.

You needed to see the Big Show to figure out why?

bigger budget than the old TV series makes me believe 100% that they'll be the Klingons of the 'afterwards' version. Afterall they brushed the whole klingons looking like humans bit with the fact they were super Klingons from a Klingon eugenics program.

lol what?

Yes I do.

Quinto looks like Spock for sure
