Phase II- Blood and Fire teaser released!!

[dru]

The only thing that I don't quite get is that the character Bobby Rice plays is Peter Kirk, Captain Kirk's nephew. Will there be any explanation for how he appeared to age 15 years or so between the season 1 TOS episode "Operation: Annihilate!" and "Blood and Fire", which takes place only four years later (give or take)?

The actor who played Peter was 14-15 in that episode. I don't know if Peter was given an age himself. The actor actually appeared the next season in "And the Children Shall Lead" and no one seemed to care he wasn't reprising his Peter Kirk roll. Anyway, at filming time of Blood & Fire, Bobby Rice was only about 5 years older than the character "should be" if you "give or take" four years from "Operation: Annihilate!" That really isn't a lot and we don't know when Peter enrolled in the academy.

I'm a big fan of Bobby from his work as Ro on Hidden Frontier but I'm a little bit more puzzled why Bobby as Peter Kirk is clearly not a natural red head than I ever would be about the relatively minor age gap.

I say let it go and try to enjoy whatever they put out.

After watching the teaser and the trailer, I am more excited about seeing this and the other new episodes of Star Trek: Phase II than I am about J.J. Arbam's Star Trek.

I love Brian Kelley's new trailer for Blood & Fire part one! He's wicked talented!

(see youtube link above . . . )

Actually, Craig Hundley was born Nov. 1953... making him 13 when Operation-Annihilate! aired.

The script for "Operation -- Annihilate!" offers some commentary on Peter's age. From Scene 25:

"INT. SAM'S LAB

"A man, SAM, lies very still on the floor, face down.
Nearby lies a young boy, PETER (age 10-12)...."

I would rather see lots of space battles rather than 2 men kissing. I'll not watch it nor any more episodes from them and I'm not they only one.

Well, that's your decision. I suspect it is also your loss.
Personally, I'm completely hetero. I have no interest in seeing two men kissing. But neither am I offended or upset by it. I will be watching this when it comes out (no pun intended). After a couple of initial false steps the New Voyages/Phase II have proven to be highly entertaining and very much in the proper spirit of Trek. It is my hope that they continue to be so.

I saw the rough cut of this show - both parts - at DragonCon earlier this year. It's really good, and no one who's been waiting for it will be disappointed.

That'll hurt 'em, eh?

Yeah, we got this on the all the other boards you posted it on too.

It's clearly the only thing that brought you here, since you've alluded to it in most of your other posts. Honestly, you really do have a very strange obsession with seeing two men kissing. Interesting.

Your name wouldn't happen to be Smithers would it?

Nope..that is not the only reason I'm here, I'm here because I like Star Trek very much. But I won't pass up a chance to point out how Fan Productions are hurting the main premise of Star Trek to be a family show. I mean how in the world is having gays in a story line promoting Star Trek as a family show, something from little kids all the way up to adults. I surely am not going to let my grandson see things like that. I mean I hope Star Trek lasts forever and I wish I was around to see it all but when it comes to ruining the family premise of it, I will speak up. Ignore me if you want, I don't care, that won't hurt my feelings. Now we have a forum here called Star Trek Orgasms? How low are the moderators going to let this get...let's see how toleration is handled here..if they are going to tolerate all this stuff then they would practice what they preach and tolerate my other side view...well, I've made my point, I'm done..now I'm going back to read the messages that are good Trek stuff.

Well, good for them.

 

[DEWLine]

You're kidding, right?

I remember the Starlog articles and suchlike from my younger days about how the syndicated episodes were gutted of anything that could be seen as "indecent" or "pagan" or "capable of inducing immorality". Trek was seen in some quarters as a Threat to the Family not so many decades ago. If it was seen as a "family show", it was only after local stations did their content-"policing" job on it first.

And showing a gay couple is hurting the messages that are good Trek stuff how?

It always amuses me how you start bleating about tolerance, then show none in return.

I suspect the management here will tolerate your attitude no more than the other boards that received your 'patronage'.

Ah, Lightinspire (what an oxymoron that screen name turned out to be--huh?) must have been the guy that said he only wanted to see "normal diversity" on Star Trek . . . what a genius!
