    Early Promotional Uniforms

    I've always wondered what the provenance was for the uniforms worn for all those promo photos done before the series launched, but before they refined the uniforms (and hairstyles) for regular production. You have the velour and color of the main series uniforms (except for Rand not being in...

    Kirk Promo Picture Question

    I thought it would be easy to find, but for the life of me, I can't seem to dig it up. Are you guys familiar with (of course you are, duh, but polite not to assume!) the promotional picture of Kirk aiming a phaser up at the camera? A book I saw that came out (a Doctor WHO novel based on the...

    Anyone Else Feel Bad for Remmick?

    First, we're made to hate this guy and then...well... Turns out to be a good guy in the end... and then he gets blown up a few episodes later! I mean, I even got a little misty-eyed when he talked about his evaluation of the Enterprise crew.

    Alternate End Credits Sequence?

    When I was a kid, I remember a S1/S2 episode having a very unusual background to its end credits. As sort of blueprint drawings on a rotating field, it showed the different technology of the original series vs. TNG. It was entirely blue, white and black. Anybody else remember this?

    TNG Reference in The A-Team!

    During the sequence at the German mental hospital where they're breaking out Murdock... the mental patients are watching a movie called The Greater Escape... Besides playing the A-Team theme as its main theme (awesome), it lists in the credits... REGINALD BARCLAY ....I was freakin' PUMPED...

    The Picard Maneuver in American Dad!

    Last Sunday's American Dad had Patrick Stewart's Director-type character (can't remember his name, obviously) threaten the cat and then tug his suit down! They really ARE fans of Trek!:)

    'Tapestry' Review by SFDebris

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUsNqRXMbEE&feature=channel Outstanding review and my comment regarding it was as follows (edited to take out commentary on Abrams Trek since it would be out of place here)... "This is probably one of the few TNG episodes which you could really say was the...

    Transformers 2 = Better Star Trek 2

    I just got back from watching the second Transformers movie and I gotta say... I'm actually looking forward to the second Trek movie now that I've seen what Orci and Kurtzman can do given a second go-round. Say what you will about their writing ability (and I have) but it's clear these guys...

    Both Sides Give Me a Headache

    Those for and against have largely fallen into two archetypes, both of which are seriously starting to get on my nerves. For: OMG, THIS IS THE BEST EVER, ANYONE WHO THINKS OTHERWISE IS A TOTAL LOSER! Against: THIS VIOLATES CANON, IT IS CRAP! Rational discourse falls by the wayside...

    The Spock/Uhura Thing: Either Way, Someone Doesn't Look Good

    With the introduction of the Spock/Uhura romance, Orci and Kurtzman have created two characters who, depending on where we focus our attention, are flawed (how minorly or majorly is up to interpretation). From Spock's side: He's either weak-willed or a...well, what would you call someone...

    As a Standalone: Was Trek XI a Good Movie?

    Pretend Star Trek before 2009 did not exist, if you can. I won't give my opinion just yet (although for those who are familiar with my posts, this is likely obvious) but I'm curious.... If this was a brand spanking new movie... What are your thoughts? There's no continuity from the...

    The Even-Handed STXI Preview

    I'd like to state clearly that I hope this thread can be reasonable and not devolve into gushing or ripping. If it does, I'll be the first to ask a moderator to close the thread. I'd like this to be something where people can say what they like but be understood that everyone else's opinion is...

    Why Is It Fashionable to Insult TOS?

    It's getting bad when even people who claim to be fans are slagging off on the old show. And what gets tossed about most often is 'cheapness of the sets' and 'hammy acting' and all that.... I just have to ask... are we all watching the same show? I saw a good show with interesting characters...

    This Topic Reassures Me I Am NOT TOO GEEKY

    Before I came here, I thought I was a major geek for thinking the new Enterprise was pretty crappy, I was worried about the authors and producer, hated the new bridge and thought the plot sounded dumb. But man.... some guys on here take my (in comparison) mild dissatisfaction for this movie and...

    Trek XI = New Doctor WHO?

    Now...hopefully this doesn't start a riot or anything but I think that Orci, Kurtzman, Abrams et al are doing to Trek what Russel T Davies did to Doctor WHO. That is: keep the basic concept, strip it down and replace much of the old show with new attention grabbing, mass audience grabbing level...

    My Thoughts

    I'll start with the good... - The uniforms are pretty good. From a distance, you'd be hard-pressed to be able to tell the difference between the classic era uniforms and these. - The sound effects seem to be consistent (specifically: the red alert klaxon) with the old show. Very nice touch...
