Countdown #4 preview (and review - SPOILERS!)
- Thread starter Horizon
- Start date
Good enough...still going to get it though...was thinking of ordering from Amazon as well.
It starts with: We are all very pleased...
WHOOPS! Wrong guys!
The notion that we'd be called to serve Star Trek is something we never dared dream. This book has had particular meaning to us in that we fell in love with Star Trek through the characters of The Next Generation. The longest summer of our lives was waiting to find out how Captain Riker and the amazing crew of the Enterprise were going to defeat their former Captain, Jean-Luc Picard after his transformation into Locutus of Borg.
We don't expect to ever feel the same level of anticipation again, but perhaps we can create some for new fans. That is the intention of this book... to take a ride with a beloved crew that no one believed would ever match the original and to pay homage to their stewardship of a thing called Star Trek. Their journey now takes us back to the beginning.

That's so cool. Best Destiny and Prime Directive are favorites of mine as well.
The series itself doesn't specify though Spock does state he's lived on Romulus for twenty years. So I guess twenty years after Unification.
Does he say twenty in the book? He says fourty in the single comic. Twenty would actually make a lot more sense, so maybe it has been corrected for the paperback edition?
According to the stardate, Countdown is taking place seven years after Nemesis.
Yeah he says twenty years in the TPB.
Then fourty years was indeed a mistake. That caused some speculation about Countown taking place in the 25th century and the stardate being a mistake. I'm glad they got that straight.
I hope they also got rid of that typo when Romulus was spelled Romulas

I just noticed that it's eight years after Nemesis, not seven years.
I've just been re-watching trailer two (first theatrical one), and I wonder if the Narada going through time there is the same as in the comic?
We certainly see the Narada going through time 'twice' in the trailers, once going in from the left hand side (same as the comic) and once coming out via the right-hand side.
Also, in the 23rd century, will the black hole remain and be like some sort of wormhole? Or will it disappear as soon as they emerge?
Finally, since Spock entered the black hole after Nero, will he emerge in a later time frame, or follow him straight out?
So many questions
Most of them contradicting each other as well...

There's a related Spock comic coming! Andrew Harris said: "... a Spock book entitled "Reflections" set in the new movie era (Tiptons & Messina, if I'm not mistaken)"

Yes, it's the same Narada - how many of those ships with a captain named Nero exist, eh?
Dunno, watch me movie.

haha, yes I'm aware it's the same ship, I mean is the scene the same - ie the one in the film is the Narada going back in time as portrayed in the comic.So the TPB is out? I have been looking for that. Now that I see there is corrections made. Anything cool after the last comic in it? I'm just curious. I just bought the last issue yesterday, so I'm going to read it soon and then look for the TPB again. Hopefully I will find it.
Yeah, as I mentioned in the other thread, it'll be out in July.
