After Trek 11 replace TOS 1701 with prequel Enterprise

[DumbDumb2007]

Aftyer the premire of Star Trek 11. The prequel Enterprise should be used to replace the Original series Enterprise in every single episode of TOS.
TOS should be remastered even further. almost hardcore.
Both versions could be on teh dvd releases. the new ship should be awesome toi cut it in the movies. It's sizes will be better proportioned like the TMP ship was !

They won't be changing the interior to fit the film, I don't really see the reason for changing the exterior. It's a matter of design style... the CGI looks less incongruous with the live material of TOS if it still has a kind of 60s aesthetic.

The film won't have a 60s aesthetic; the combination of the two looks would appear jarring.

I think dd2007 is trying to be sarcastic, but it didn't really come together well.

 

[A beaker full of death]

That's the problem with satire - sooner or later the unfathomable becomes possible, or even likely.

 

[Holytomato]

Bashing TOS-R and Star Trek XI all in one. :APPLAUSE:

 

[gastrof]

While I can see it might be possible for them to claim the events of the original timeline still apply in this nu-Trek, and only how things look will be different, but it's still changing stuff.

At least the old stories may remain canon, but the look is part of that.

Let's face it...

The new movie is being planned by an evil force involving The Dominion and the Borg, as well as who knows what other parties.

Someone must stop them...

Someone must...

Does anyone have Kate Mulgrew's phone number?

NOBODY would be able to stand up to her.

I hate to say it, but Captain Janeway may be able to save the Trek we know and love...

Shatner should be replaced by Chris Pine.

Kate Mulgrew : I'm not coming back to speak that [bleep]ing Japaneese, seven years of that was plenty for me.

As far as I can tell, the 2008 movie Enterprise will just be a much more detailed and textured version of the classic NCC-1701 we all know and love. A super souped-up version of the current Remastered version. I could be wrong, but so far I don't think so.

 

[Woulfe]

We'll know soon enough !

In about 3 / 4 days from now....

Woot !

 

[DumbDumb2007]

let'ssee teh original enterprise get redone to teh level of the nnc 1701-d, 170se nx 01 qnd voyager,etc
ncc 1701 shoukd have maneuvering thrusters, a wider neck and thicker engine struts with faklred out bases. morte p[phasres and a coler look for out legendary heros.

Leave it the way it looks in TOS Remastered, only show more surface details and make the computers look somewhat less like backlit Okudagrams and blinking Christmas lights.

Apparently the new warp nacelles will look like aircrafts. The retro Flash Gordon spaceship "fins" Gene Roddenberry wanted to avoid for fear of making the Enterprise look silly and dated are being welcomed with open arms for this new movie. We'll see if they work.

I still say this is a remake. If this Enterprise takes place between The Cage and Where No Man Has Gone Before, it shouldn't look too different from those pilot models. Surface detail is the limit.

 

[Ronald Held]

That is what I would expect, but there is too much of a tendency to "modernize" everything for the current audience.

 

[Outpost4]

AC84, you are assuming an awful lot and making very broad assumptions from only a written description of the promo and one picture of the Enterprise under construction.

Isn't it a bit premature to be coming to conclusions?

Here's the picture of the Enterprise from the trailer. Me, I love it.

And I believe the movie is primarily set before The Cage.

 

[Mister_Atoz]

wow has that been confirmed or should I expect to see admiral Vreenak, I love the nacelles but I wish the saucer shape looked less like the the TMP version. I also don't like the idea that the Enterprise wasn't built in space. I agree one clip from a teaser trailer isn't enough to draw conclusions from, but I'm starting to be optimistic about this film.

The so called fins are merely the old intercoolers integrated more smoothly into the nacelles. I don't much care for the "refinement" but I wouldn't call them Flash Gordon-esque--indeed, the fin running down the center of the old Romulan BoP (one of my favorite designs) evokes Buster Crabbe more than this new ship does.

That said: TOS-R is more than enough revisionism, thank you. No further ammendments should be made--hell, I still don't much approve of the ones they've made, no matter how kewl they are.

I've only seen two episodes of TOS-R, Star Trek: The Menagerie two-parter which were shown over here in the theatre. Frankly, I considered it ironic that one point of actual remastering wasn't handled. It had always bugged me about 'The Menagerie' is that when they panned in to see 'The Cage' footage it was obvious at the exact point they cut from a camera recording a camera in 'The Menagerie' to just plain stock footage from 'The Cage' on the basis of a marked improvement in print. With 'The Cage' existing in its entirety, I'd expected they would have corrected that.

But I guess that's just me. Anyway, while TOS-R looks interesting, I'm quite statisfied with my DVDs of the original, unremasterd show. CBS-Viacom-Paramount-Moloch is welcome to pry those from my cold dead hands, when I get around to dying.

Nope.
