They could have T'Pol mention she and her husband Admiral Tucker had three children graduate from Starfleet Academy, or something like that. Then you know he really didn't die.

I'll give you 2 million if they go with this one.

Forget the cash, howabout going on YouTube and dropping a live grenade down your shorts?

If they say those ridiculous lines, I will do just that. :thumbsup:

It's a good thing I never agreed to moderate this forum (Yes, I was asked! ) because the obviously warnable stuff just doesn't bother me. In fact, I find it funny.

So, in the meantime, while you are rooting for me to die violently by a horrible explosion, I'm over in the Star Trek XI forum trying to get people hyped up for the Archer/T'Pol wedding.

You guys might call yourselves "Enterprise" fans, but at least I'm over there doing something about it.

"Optimism, Captain!"

LOL! I wish you had the cash...no real malice, just "Enterprise" fans version of "Bustin' Balls!" Obviously, I'm a Trip/T'Pol guy and hoping against hope that Abrams would somehow erase TATV!

Anyway, I haven't read any specifics concerning the plot of Trek XI only that its a prequel, but is it also a re-boot of some kind?

For three million can we have Granny T'Pol and young Spock make out in the decon chamber?

Four million if Granny really IS Spock's granny...

Don't worry, folks, I'm battling this atrocity tooth and nail. Archer will ditch her at the altar for his one true love: Shran! And no amount of death threats will dissuade me. We have canon to consider. And Archer's happiness, hasn't he suffered enough???

Probably before.

But it still came at a time when I was like, "Do you know who I am? Do you read my posts?"

 

[commodore64]

Awww, wish you'd said yes. I think you'd make a fine addition.

My time may come again.

The middle of a nasty divorce seemed like an inopportune time to accept such a responsibility.

Sam, I'm sorry to hear that.

well i dont know how "good" you would have been but it would have been an interesting ride.

i do remember you mentioning the split with mrs cogley.
hope you have been doing well since then.,

 

[Lady Conqueror]

It would be nice to get some sort of reference even in passing - something to do with either Archer or T'Pol would be the most likely

Btw, haven't really read much about the movie myself but if there is a Romulan in it won't that cause a problem with Balance of Terror since it's supposed to be set when the main crew were younger? Or are they going to do it Ent S4 style?

 

[MattJC]

Apparently, time travel will be involved.

 

[Guy Gardener]

And lets not forget that there's no certainty that every Vulcan we do see isn't a Romulan. Talk about a Phantom fucking menace. Thousands of Romulans walking around on Earth during thr Earth Romulan War and noone was the wiser because they were smart enough to keep their disguised identity a priority.

After all that, If Urban says "Hello, I'm a Romulan." I'll pitch a fit.

I might pitch a fit, too, especially since Urban is playing Dr. McCoy.

"I'm a doctor, not a Romulan!"

I'm always puzzled when that accusation comes up. Giving TOS the finger? Let's see... a shift in focus back to a main triad cast, at the expense of the supporting players. Name checking and even fleshing out several TOS aliens. Bringing back in your face, non PC sexuality to mostly prudeish critism. That just leaves the Vulcan issue. A race seen through human eyes, which while different from Spock, I'd argue are consistant with anything seen in Amok Time or Journey to Babel. Stubborn, prideful and more than a little arrogant to human outsiders. Oh and wasn't Admiral Forrest, and two other top brass from Broken Bow named in honour of De, Leonard and Bill? The rule of thumb with ENT seems to be throw enough shit and some of it's bound to stick. Just be sure to tell everyone you hated every minute of it (while secretly you didn't)...

Ignoring the source material though? No more than TNG did, in an effort to establish it's own identity I'd say. The natural approach for a prequel to the wider Trek universe, since it was 100 years off to be specifically important to Kirk and Spock.

THANK YOU!!

I get so tired of nerd complaints about "continuity contradictions" and the like...

I don't know if this counts as throwing a bone, but it's something. From an interview of one of the producers about the teaser trailer for the movie:

TrekMovie.com: The trailer contains voices from the 60s space race, including John F. Kennedy. What was the thinking behind that? And is there some kind of JFK-Kirk link you are trying to make?


Roberto Orci: First of all, it has been written about that Kirk was in a way modeled after JFK. Like being the youngest captain ever, like Kennedy was the youngest President ever. Obviously the space race being kicked off by JFK is very much associated with Star Trek. It was also due to what we just discussed and linking it back to today. If we do indeed have a Federation, I think Kennedy’s words will be inscribed in there someplace. He kicked us off. And on a third level it is a slight nod to Star Trek Enterprise, in that we are not blind to the fact that going back to some of the more historical aspects of Star Trek that haven’t been covered in a while…that that is something that Enterprise tended to do as well.

Just when I try to play nice and try to keep my distance from this movie, they have to lure me back in.
They're insidious.

If this is all we get then definitely, a "bone".

I actually asked the question most ENT fans probably wanted to...

256. Chris Roberts - January 19, 2008

Hi, Mr. Orci. The trailer echoes real exploration history (soundbytes from JFK, John Glenn and Neil Armstrong…) something you mention Star Trek Enterprise did. Can fans of Enterprise look forward to any nod to their series on screen in the film? Something as simple as an NX ship as set decoration or elaborate like a cameo. I know it doesn’t necessarily advance the kind of story you’re crafting, which is Original Series influenced, but handing over the baton is very much a tradition. An elderly McCoy sending TNG off, Picard on DS9, Cochrane’s video message to ENT etc. Somebody like an old Archer or T’Pol would be a nice link to the previous era.

and got this reply...

286. roberto Orci - January 19, 2008

256 All signs point to “yes.”

Make of this answer, what you will.
