    Looking for DS9 test audience research

    Hey everybody, I've been searching for a document that I know I've seen on here at some point before - Paramount's test audience research from DS9's first season that showed how audiences reacted to specific characters and episodes. I've been looking all over for it and no luck yet. Does anyone...

    Jack the Ripper Revealed! (SPOILERS)

    Now we know who Redjac was possessing at the time! http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/world/dna-tests-prove-that-jack-the-ripper-was-a-polish-immigrant-named-aaron-kosminski/story-fni6um3i-1227050842205 Too bad DNA analysis wasn't as advanced as it is now, I bet they would have solved that...

    Movie reviewers needed!

    Please forgive the shameless promotion in this post, but I'm not a member of many forums and I'm trying to share this with as many people as possible. :) A few months ago, I premiered my first independent film, "Max Anderson, Private Eye". It's now on DVD and making its way to its first round...

    "And the Children Shall Lead" wasn't all that bad...

    Okay, hear me out. I still think it's a bottom of the barrel episode, but on a recent rewatch, I actually derived some enjoyment out of watching it. Some "good" points: The premise is pretty creepy and interesting, it's just some of the writing and execution that falls flat. It's a Star Trek...

    Season One Geordi and his smart-@ss remarks

    When TNG first started, Geordi was the blind pilot (yes, Gene, we get the irony) who always had some snarky comment to make about every situation. Even though the writing in the first season wasn't all that great, Geordi provided a lot of levity and humor. But when the character got promoted to...

    Looking for TOS reused footage...

    I'm working on a video project and I'm trying to find as many instances of reused live-action footage from TOS as I can, such as: Shots of the bridge and viewscreen Sulu or Chekov looking back over their shoulder Spock staring into his viewer Stuff like that. If anyone can help me track down...

    Stuff you simply LOVED...

    There are plenty of negative topics around here, lots of nit-picking and such, which is fine. No movie is without its flaws, even this one. But I'm in a good mood right now, and I want to discuss the things in the movie that you just flat-out LOVED. Funny lines, bad-ass "Hell yeah!" moments...

    No "He's dead, Jim"?

    My little brother pointed this out to me after our third viewing. Out of all the McCoy-isms they put in this movie, he never says "He's dead, Jim"??? I don't care if McCoy says it to himself for no reason whatsoever - I demand they work it into the sequel!

    Is "Star Trek" a goofy title?

    Most of us are probably so used to hearing the words "Star Trek" that we don't think about it, but if you do, it is kind of a goofy-sounding title, isn't it? Although, I'm sure it could have been much worse. Can anyone think of a better or worse name for our favorite show(s)?

    A new edition of TMP...

    I had no idea the movie was this gay but here's the proof, edited by yours truly: Star Trek: The Motion Picture - The Fabulous Edition (Disclaimer: I actually LIKE TMP, but I had to make fun of it.)

    Was Pulaski really hated that much by the fans?

    I know many fans disliked Pulaski when she was first introduced on the show in season 2, but I always found it strange that aside from one offhand reference, she was never seen or mentioned again. She could have easily guest-starred in an episode down the line, or appeared in an alternate...

    Spec scripts?

    I just put my second Voyager spec script "Upon Reflection" back on my site, and I was wondering if anyone else here has ever written a spec script for any of the Trek series? It's a shame they didn't allow any spec scripts for Enterprise when it was on, I had a bunch of ideas outlined. Oh...

    What if Shatner ends up in the movie and it's...

    ...pointless? Out of place? A silly wink-and-a-nod cameo? Something that took you right out of the movie? Basically, at this point, ANY appearance by William Shatner is going to take me right out of the movie, because of all the back-and-forth about "will he, won't he", and the crazy fans...

    Will Gene Roddenberry be credited/tributed?

    Every Trek production since the original series has carried a "Based upon" credit for Gene Roddenberry. I'm just wondering if there would be any other kind of tribute made in the film for him, or possibly for some of the actors who have passed away. Thoughts?

    What TOS cliches do you want to see?

    I was inspired by a similar post in the TOS forum regarding everyone's favorite TOS cliches. I'm just wondering which cliches we want or hope to see in the new film... Kirk ripping his shirt? Spock/Bones sparring? Gratuitous redshirt fatalities? That wicked awesome fight music? Personally...

    What will the budget be?

    What kind of money do you think they're going to put into this project, with a big name like Abrams attached? I'm keeping in mind that a big budget can be a bad thing - just look at the financial disaster of TMP for evidence. (Yes, I know that it was caused in part by Phase II expenses, and...

    I think Spock is going to die.

    Does anyone else think this movie is going to see the second (and final) death of Spock? I can't be the only one thinking this... I mean, that's how Leonard Nimoy got talked into doing TWOK. To quote others here, it would certainly be a "meaty" role, and worthy of Nimoy's participation. And...

    Does anyone like "That Which Survives"?

    I just fell asleep watching this episode and I was wondering if it had the same effect on anyone else. It feels very long and suprisingly uneventful, Spock is really annoying, and it manages to make Lee Meriwether look less attractive than she was. That said, it's not a horrible episode. Just...

    The lack of a follow-up to "In the Pale Moonlight"

    I just finished watching "In the Pale Moonlight" and it got me wondering why there was never a follow-up. And as I continued to think about it, I found myself torn about the situation. On one hand, it seems like the most obvious idea in the world - you have someone (maybe Jake) discover what...

    Why did people tune out?

    There seem to be a lot of topics here lately regarding which show "killed" Trek, and some posters believe it was DS9 that started Trek's downward spiral. While it is true that DS9 bled viewers during its initial run, there are many reasons this could have happened. So here's the...
