Lindelof talks title, and time gap

For all i care, they can call it Star Trek: We Didn't Pull This Story Out Our Colon

... as long as, you know, they haven't pulled the story out their colon...
 
There are also sorts of sequel-naming traditions to follow:

Bride of Star Trek

Star Trek the Invincible

Star Trek Strikes Back

Star Trek Goes Hawaiian

Taste the Blood of Star Trek

Sadly, Abbott & Costello Meet Star Trek is no longer an option.

Star Trek SG-1

Star and Trek's Excellent Adventure

Star Trek Miami

Star Trek Special Victims Unit

Late Night with Star Trek

Star Trek: The Beginning (oh, wait)


Curse of the Star Trek

Star Trek: Photonic Boogaloo

Star Trek vs. Mechastartrek



I was insulting how paramount is marketing the film.

Nonetheless, you were insulting. That in itself is the problem, regardless of the target.
 
It's called a jokes, and some jokes can sting. I don't happen to think this is one of them. If there was really a target, its the whole mindset we've all had about comic book films. Relax.
 
So they'd be taking a cue from the James Bond franchise then, which I have absolutely no problem with really, as long as it's handled well. But man, Gary 7 will be a PR nightmare :)

Anyway, I like the suggestion of Starship Enterprise, but yeah, some good points to be made about the ST: ENT. Still, it's almost enough to make me wish the latter could just be renamed somehow...
The name "Starship Enterprise" hasn't been poisoned forever because ENT got cancelled seven years ago.

Sure, but ultimately that's not really my decision to make, but rather on the studio execs who might have remembered the show. If they choose to go with the title, then that's great; if not, I'm willing to bet that old show might become the scapegoat (however fair or unfair that may be).
I don't see no reason to believe that at all. They're not going to avoid using the Enterprise name because of a previous production that's long since over and relegated to history.
 
"To Boldly Go" is a nice one, especially if the story is going to be an echo of WNMHGB.

If they're going to be confronting the galaxy rim, then maybe "Beyond the Infinite". Otherwise, it's really hard to come up with a workable name without knowing more about the story line.
 
We should probably lend Lindelof a hand and come up with some snappy titles. Star Trek Two-Elve!

:lol:

I vote this be the official board name for the movie :techman:

If I can, I second the motion :)

Well hey, like I said, I like the title suggestion anyway. If I'm wrong and the title does end up being used, then it's a good kind of wrong.
 
All the talk of not having a colon (not THAT colon!:p) has me thinking it's gonna be named along the lines of the old Bantam novel, Trek to Madworld.
 
If they're going to be confronting the galaxy rim, then maybe "Beyond the Infinite".

That sounds more like the title of a Buzz Lightyear movie than anything to do with Trek. And the fact that the galaxy has a rim pretty much makes it finite, don't you think?
