"Admit it's a reboot!!!" Who cares, really.

[Disco Bones]

Mmmm ok. That I'll agree with. Though I have nothing against the first 3 seasons or so of DS9.
And TNG trumps all in my book.

I got the point of your mooting, thx.

I have to agree with the Duck though about early DS9. It did get much better, though.

I could take a pass on Voyager. And NEM. And INS, come to think of it.

As long as you leave em there for me.

You got it.

It's a half a reboot. Does that count ? Like the cop is a half a robot.

Wikipedia, Hard reboot: "...It may be caused by power failure, be done by accident, or be done deliberately as a last resort to forcibly retrieve the system from instances such as a critical error..."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booting

Trek needed.

Yea, pwer failure. The guys in power sucked.

Yes, the film is a "partial-reboot," but I will be watching it in theaters next May!

How about "new version?" It's just a new version of TOS.

How can you have two versions of a story?!

I wish I'd stop reading the thread title as "Admiral, it's a reboot!!!".

 

[Stone_Cold_Sisko]

I dunno the idea that they need an "IN STORY" explanation for it being a reboot strikes me as the nerdiest thing possible. This is the sort of shit that you expect from marvel comics.

Well, yes...it's an attempt to mollify nerds in fandom. I thought that was obvious.

Haha, I was about to post this.

In short, JJ and Co. have been lying through their teeth about what they're doing from the beginning, and they are continuing to lie to us every time they trot out this "not really a reboot" crap! Not only is this blatantly dishonest, it's also disrespectful of the fanbase....

OMFG!!!!!! Are there any authorities we can alert? This guy sounds like a monster and must be brought to justice!!!! So mad right now.

Snide comments aside, why can't they just tell the truth?

Why must you diminish my anguish over the lies JJ Abrams is telling Star Trek fans, to whom he owes nothing? That's very insensitive of you, darkwing_duck1, even more insensitive than these poison filled lies we are being told about a movie no one has seen yet. You're mean. Sad smiley face

In the book "Jaws", Hooper has an affair with Brody's wife. Not so in the movie version.

In the book "Darkly Dreaming Dexter", the ice truck murderer gets away. Not so in the TV version.

In the original "King Kong", Kong only fights one T-Rex. In the most recent remake, he fights three T-Rex-like dinosaurs.

Among many examples of how you can have two different versions of a story. (Grabs paper towels to clean up the mess).

What I really find dismaying is that so many so-called fans are not only okay with being lied to, they're actually applauding this fraud.

Count me in.

(clapping ensues wildly)

 

[shapeshifter]

(clapping continues to a standing ovation accompanied with singing)

If you're a Trek fan and you know it clap your hands *clap clap*

OK, that was a little over the top but I don't care. I want to have good feelings about this until I have really good reason not to.

Somewhere deep in the Paramount vaults there is a bust of GR that has been blind folded since TNG. Is it any wonder? I think we're gonna get complexity told in a simple way. I like it visa versa. I still think Star Trek could be serious again if they avoided goofy aliens. The Klingons of old looked like Iraqis. just another branch of humanity or tribe.

 

[Therin of Andor]

in the not-too-distant past, there would've been protests outside the Paramount gates with JJ being burned in effigy.

Nah, they're just doing it virtually.

What I really find dismaying is that so many so-called fans are not only okay with being lied to, they're actually applauding this fraud.

Yep. I'm a "so-called fan" and I'm applauding JJ very loudly.

It seems so are Leonard Nimoy and Majel Barrett-Roddenberry.

Bob Orci has sort of spilled the beans over at Trekmovie.com and admitted things are different because Nero's time travel has caused an alternate timeline. This would support the non-reboot camp, though he still won't admit if Nimoy's Spock has travelled back in time to restore the "prime" timeline representing fan-friendly canon.

This would explain why the Kelvin, which preceeds the timeline divergence, looks more like a traditional trekship than the new Enterprise sprouting up in Iowa.

I'm guessing the changes to the timeline were too severe to restore and that Future Spock was there to make sure that "Team Enterprise" still gets together to save the galaxy time and time again.

Its refreshing to have a non-reset button time travel story.

The only think that will really bother me is if at the end they will show none of it really happened - it all happened in Spock's mind... I think it is a cheat and lazy storytelling. I miss the cerebral stuff, that face it, we're never gonna get.

If it all happens in Spock's mind, isn't that fairly cerebral?
