Was blowing up Romulus a good idea?

Again, making it cheap. I think they should have Q literally defecate on the entire Trek universe and then never produce another second of Trek, or permit any media-tie-in or fan productions after. Hey, you can have it all back in your head with a wave of your imagination, so just let the creative choice go, man.
Right, it would never get past the third eyelid. Jesus, there you go again, messing with continuity!

Hey, why not?
Just because you didn't like it, doesn't mean it was done in a poor or lazy manner. I happened to enjoy the movie and the destruction of the two worlds showed that Trek can shake things up from time to time. Something that has been sorely needed for about fifty years.
Vulcan and Romulus are fictional planets, they aren't the story, they are there to serve the story in whatever manner the creators deem necessary.
Hey if they change enough things maybe they can find themselves in the universe of Dune, with the Atreides, the Harkonnen and all that
Any Dune reference gets a like from me, regardless of the context or discussion
About time for another adaptation of it. Been 15 years. Maybe on HBO or Netflix this time. Glad the Berg / Morrel movie never happened. I'd be up for Fuller making it

I'd love a new adaptation of Dune, I am not entirely satisfied with the ones we've got so far.
The Messiah portion of CoD was well done. Newman crushed it (and continued to do so in the rest of the episodes). As a whole though, yeah, this is a property that has not been done right.
Personally, I always wondered if the "Herbert" chant in TOS was a reference to Frank since he (according to his book jacket bios at any rate) was a big part of the letter writing campaigns to save the show.
How do you like Brian Herbert's continuation of the saga?
You mean Kevin J Anderson's continuation using Brian's name ?
The first prequel series was passable generic sci - fi novel. The Butlerian Jihad was the same (although it pains me we'll never read the Butlerian Jihad book Frank and McNelly were writing before Frank got sick that Brian tossed out, likely because McNelly want his fair share of the profits). The sequels to the series were a kick to the balls and I stopped reading the sidequels when Paul ran off to join the circus.

Yeah, I felt that none of them were really up to par.
The circus! They had Paul Muad'dib Atreides run off to join the circus! That's not failing to make par, that's hitting your ball into the side of a moving bus on the highway while playing mini putt
Way to trigger me, Locutus101.
I bet if you went to the right message boards you could find my rantings on that as I originally read it in my hammock. If I hadn't already been drinking at the time....
BTW, I'm finally figuring out emotions and text formatting on the mobile version of this site
Edit: How awesome is it that whoever programmed the word predictor on my keyboard had Muad'dib pre loaded as a suggestion?
Yes these little details are really great, aren't they?
Have we derailed this thread enough, or should we talk about Maclachlan's recent all emoticon explanation of the plot?
Who's that?
I wasn't all that fond of how it was handled myself. However, it's worth noting that killing off entire planets for dramatic effect has been a fixture of Trek for a long time -- more than once, a threat announced itself in TOS by wiping out entire systems full of billions of people, for instance -- so I wouldn't exactly call it alien to the "Trekverse."
Played Paul in the Lynch film. He made the news last week for the tweet.
Ah Ok.
Hell, in TOS we had our heroes commit genocide. They successfully wiped out the last of the Salt Vampires, the Androids of Exo, and Khan's specific 'line' of Augments, usually just to save one member of their crew.
Kirk was also perfectly willing to kill off the Horta, everybody on Eminar, and possibly decimated half the societies he 'helped' by completely annihilating their social structure (Say 'Hi', Mirror Universe humans.) All of which were usually forgotten by the next episode, and sometimes within the same episode.
Coz you know - stories tend to need conflicts and resolutions. Throw in a very episodic nature, and we end up with Captain James Tiberius Kirk: Great White Hunter, and Walking Plague.
Let's not touch the other series. With species like the Valakians and the Founders, we'd be here all day...and we'd probably be arguing. We couldn't have that on our fan board.
