The Correct Way to Feel About Star Trek XI
- Thread starter Samuel T. Cogley
- Start date
TNG wasn't his original plan for a second series. Phase II was. TMP was done instead of that. But, I don't recall hearing that Roddenberry had any plans to recast the TOS parts when he wanted to do Phase II.
Shatner and Co. were already starting to get up in the years by the time Trek IV came along. He could have done Phase II after Trek III, which most people hated, and brought in a new cast at that time. Instead, he stuck with the original cast for 3 more films and went with TNG for the series.
Well, we could start with the first few seconds of the trailer. I had feared that when Abrams admitted he was a Star Wars fan rather than a Trek fan that we might see a pre-pubescent Kirk with pod races through the cornfields of Iowa. Instead, we get a pre-pubescent Kirk racing a 300 year old car through the desert trying to escape a cop.
We then attempt to relive the initial strife between Han Solo and Luke Skywalker with Spock and Kirk (with Spock apparently being the young Jedi not quite in control of his skills and Kirk the brash officer with a quick temper).
A pointy eared alien that will die to empart his knowledge on a younger one in need of guidance.
Throw in $150m or so in phasers and special effects and you could have pretty much any of the last four Wars movies.
<SNIP!>
And, more importantly, I think that's what Star Trek is all about.
Agreed?
I've no evidence to the contrary.
Did that ages ago!
I've suspected it for a long time, but this post nails it: Sam is really Stephen Colbert.
You rang?
And they still have that "New Poster Smell".
DAMMIT!
I had the perfect cartoon for this thread and I can't find it!
It's by Australian cartoonist Patrick Cook.
Two groups of people waving placards are viciously tearing into one another in an approved humorous style.
The placards on one side say 'PEOPLE AGAINST FOR'.
The other placards say ... 'PEOPLE FOR AGAINST'.

I saw Quantum of Solace again on Friday while I was away for the holiday. The print I saw had a Star Trek trailer attached, whereas the print I saw the first time did not. I had one opinion of the trailer and movie when I saw the trailer online, but seeing it on the big screen started to change my opinion.
I went through the remainder of the weekend frightened and confused. After reading this thread this morning, I now feel safe and secure, knowing that Cogley is doing the thinking for me.
Cogley for the win.

I can't decide whether I just watched the Colbert Report or Alan Shore's summation on Boston Legal.
Either way
Nice, it is a pantheon of people talking out of their asses and we're loving every minute of it.
That reminds me I think I found the perfect christmas song for this situation.

I think its time to end this little party. Samuel T. Cogley is WRONG. Wrong about XI, wrong about Trek, wrong about you, and wrong about everything he believes. He and his ilk, would see trek ruined. The things they think... and their opinions... don't even get me started.
I have it on good authority from a friend of mine (lets just call him punkydrewster) that he didn't even win the internet: "He didn't even win the internet. He was totally wrong on this one."
And another highly authoritative source recently said, "That guy is a total d-bag." Yet another well respected, nameless, non-verifiable source agreed, "huge douche".
Its not just that Cogley is wrong, its that he's militantly wrong, and he's spreading his wrong ideas, and wrong opinions on star trek message boards on the internet - the place where he knows they will do the most damage. He knows that he's jeopardizing the very future of star trek, and lets just say it, the future of the United States and the world. If we let him win, we will be just as guilty for having done nothing. Join me, in starting a baseless, unnecisarily venemous, internet based war against Cogley and his allies. Join the punkydrewster coalition for better star trek opinions and help us defeat Cogley.

I'm prepared to offer 35 - 45 percent more cake than any offer Cogley gives.
