Since Kenneth Mitchell's stints in seasons 1 and 2, he revealed the unfortunate news earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with ALS back in 2018 and has been confined to a wheelchair.
He is known to Discovery fans as playing the Klingon characters of Kol, Kol-Sha, and the time-monk...
I was just watching the TNG episode "Haven" (s1,ep11). It was the episode about Troi's long-ago arranged wedding to a human named Wyatt. Wyatt tells Troi that since he was a child, he has had constant visions, thoughts, and dreams of a woman he has never met -- until that woman happens to show...
I'm not necessarily doubting it WAS explicitly said, but I don't know for sure that it was. I know we all (including myself) assume that it is the case that Kirk took over directly from Pike; I'm just looking for the explicit on-screen information that backs up this assumption.
I'm hoping...
The Weather Channel in the U.S. has begun naming winter storms this season, and the latest one is "Winter Storm Khan":

By the way, if we get all the way up to the "Q" winter storm, it will be called "Winter Storm Q" (really).
Most of us have heard these words in the trailer spoken by Pike, presumably to Kirk:
As has already been speculated by others, this line of dialogue may be a launching point of sorts for Kirk's personal growth and journey through this film -- his attempt to gain the humility Pike says Kirk is...
Do you think the "Space, The Final Frontier [blah, blah, blah]..." monologue will be part of this film? I suppose I maybe should first ask “Does it need to be?”
Let’s say for the sake of argument that The Monologue will be part of this film (at the beginning, or wherever). The next question...
First of all, this thread assumes that the rumors about this movie being a "Khan" movie are true (whether or not they are true is a different matter). With that stipulation out of the way...
...I have to wonder whether or not this film will stick with TOS's assertion that Khan went into space...
We may not have an official title yet, but it seems the production team is giving this film the designation of being "#2" (please no #2/shit jokes) rather than #12...
...at least it seems that way by looking at the hat in this link, which was reportedly seen being worn by J.J. Abrams himself...
...And I suppose if they are planning a teaser trailer this summer, then they will need a film title by then.
The summer movie season is fast approaching, but the only "big" Paramount films I see coming out this summer (assuming they attach the ST teaser to a big Paramount film) are The...
Just to say up front, this is not a "Bash Bana's performance" thread. That's not my intention nor the point I'm trying to make...
...With that out of the way:
Remember way back when Eric Bana said in an interview that his role as Nero was basically a cameo? There may have been some official...
First, let me say I enjoyed this film...it was fun.
That being said, and after all this talk about the TOS timeline being destroyed, I ask: what is really preventing a future movie-maker from making a film that takes place in the "Prime" timeline, say a post-Nemesis film? I say nothing is...
Remember back in 2006 when this film was first announced, and the word got out that this would be a prequel? Abrams and the writers were criticized for being too lazy to be able to think up an original story....
...fast forward to now, and this film has a totally original story, but now the...
Forgive me if this has already been posted.
Nathan Lane was on Letterman discussing his "role" in the new film:

The offical site has 2 new panoramas -- both of the bridge, but one is "normal" and the one is during "red alert".
http://www.startrekmovie.com/, enter the site, then go to "Nav", then "Panoramas"
Edit to add:
MODS -- You can close this...I see Dennis has a thread already.

Here's one:
...and Finnegan has a duck on his head. The bartender asks, "can I help you?"
The duck says, "Hell yeah -- you can get this Irishman off my ass!"
Anyone else?
In an interview in IFMagazine.com, Brannon Braga says a few non-committal, politically-correct things about Abrams' Star Trek.
Here's an excerpt:
Interesting analogy about his ex-wife.
Heres a link to the article (although nothing else about the film)...
Do you cringe when you read a post that says "The ship looks different because it's an altered timeline"?
I do realize that Orci said that this is an altered timeline, but I really hope that they are not using that "altered timeline" plot point to explain the differences in the look of the...
Does anyone have a link to the video that goes along with this picture of Eric Bana from his days on the Australian sketch comedy show "Full Frontal"?:
http://spybroken.com/bana/pics/tv/fullfrontal/fullfrontal11.jpg
I've done "Google" searches looking for a video clip of that particular...
Here's an idea for a Galaxy Quest sequel that can be made after Star Trek (XI) comes out...
...A big-time hollywood producer/director wants to make a big-budget film based on the old 'Galaxy Quest' TV show. However he re-casts young actors for all of the major roles -- except for Alexandar...
If the alternate timeline rumors are true, I can't help but think I will be cheated out of seeing the 'true' familiar characters from TOS, but rather simply the clones of those characters with different histories.
If these characters cease to have the histories that made them who they were in...
