Star Trek XI dishonors original by existing

[Red Ranger]

You know, every character and concept gets "updated" with each generation. Trek is no different than the many incarnations of James Bond, Superman, or Batman that we've seen over the years. As long as there is the fascination with space travel, which is itself one big metaphor for inner exploration, there will be Trek. So just chill out you naysayers! -- RR

NAY!!!!!!!

Sweet Zombie Jesus, I thought this thread was dead!

every character and concept gets "updated" with each generation.

Except for the really crappy ones.

But this is true of the classics, and it also means that if this version of Trek sux, it's not the end of the world! It will not crush my fragile soul.

Just dent it.

People who hate the changes in Trek must absolutely hate Highlander. Highlander is the absolute worse at violating continuity and changes all the time.

Or some other show...what's it called?

Oh yeah. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

Any version of BSG that does not feature a kid and his adorable mechanical dog is BSGINO.

Actually I really dislike the nuBSG, but not because it's a remake. On the other hand, I've never gone into the BSG forum and started a flame-war. I'll add that to my list of things to do before I die.

Right next to becoming Superman.

 

[Squiggy]

But only Reeve's Superman, as Routh's Superman is a dishonor to Reeve.

The real Superman wears big underwear over his tights. Tiny underwear Superman is a travesty.

I loved the Enterprise theme song. Sadly with a lot of episodes, it was the ONLY thing I loved.

WTF!?!?!?!?

They're making a new Trek movie?!?!?!?! TNG or DS9? Why haven't we heard anything about this?

 

[Squiggy]

Voyager. The fans spoke, Paramount listened.

 

[Biggshow]

YAY!!!! Will it open with Chakotay and Seven's wedding? Will Kes be barely visible in the background? Will Janeway find a way to get them all relost in the Delta Quadrant? So many questions...and you know Abrams won't let us see any costumes or ship designs until the movie comes out. We'll all just have to be surprised. I HATE THAT!!!!!!!

 

[Squiggy]

trekmovie.com is reporting that it will open as such:

Chakotay's head explodes because he's "mysterious", Tom shoots himself because he's a smartass, Harry cries about something...Torres gets mad at something, Janeway then orders Seven to drop her sombrero and then they go at it.

Then, Neelix will kill everyone because The Great Sombrero was recently proven to be false by Seven, who will only be wearing a sombrero.

Then, 89 minutes of black, 3 minutes of the orgy scene of Caligula and roll credits.

Oh man, a Voyager/Titan crossover movie guest starring T'Pol from ENT would be so awesome. Too bad Abrams is ignoring the fans.

Personally, I plan on bitching about how disrespectful Abrams is being to me for the next 10 months or so until the movie comes out. I feel that is the most productive way to spend a 10 month chunk of my lifetime. Even though the movie only exists as a bunch of uncut footage and rough CGI plans at this point, I feel good about bashing the final product that will eventually exist.

Nothing can distract me from this mission.

Oh, cupcakes!

 

[Biggshow]

CUPCAKES?!?!?!?!? Are they original recipe or Cupcakes TNG? Chocolate or that pansy ass strawberry? Or did Abrams completely remake them but "kept the original spirit" of the chocolate by using carob as a more healthy, less cheesey substitute? If he forgot the sprinkles, I'm writing to Paramount and I urge everyone else to do the same!!!!!

 

[Augustus]

Since they are making a new Voyager movie with T'Pol guest starring, they better not re-imagine the Delta Flyer. I would go totally insane with rage if they messed with that design.

Well, hello, Don Quixote! Good luck tilting at those windmills! -- RR

cupcake therapy

I just take them if I start feeling down, Doc.

If I end up laying naked in the middle of a town I don't recognize, clinging to my TOS DVDs with one hand, and a petition in the other, I know:

Time for cupcakes. Such pretty colors...

And speakin' of cupcakes: howzabout those tits on Seven of Nine?

I think it's pretty clear that Abrams does not respect naked fans.
