My favorite line from that film will always be Sigourney Weaver's "let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"

The first time I heard "By Grabthar's Hammer... what a savings" I laughed so hard that I think I nearly peed myself. It was the delivery, the expression, everything. It was flawless.

I got the chance to see something like that at the Trek convention I went to more than 4 years ago. I won't say who it was, but I was kind of surprised they acted that way. Still, the vast majority were gems.Alexander Dane with the fanboys is priceless, too. "By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Morvan..." "...Nnnnext."
I do love that very sweet scene where Quellek is dying, and Dr. Lazarus does the oath, just for him.
You are kidding right? Star Trek is the most commercially successful it's been in decades and you want it to stop production? Talk about living in fantasyland.
The odds of Paramount turning it's back on it's rejuvenated cash cow after two decades of decline are as good as me becoming the next pope.
The general public and the international box office seem to really enjoy this new version of ST as the financial results indicate. The vast minority of people who want ST to appeal to an extremely small demographic (Ent,Voyager, DS9) are really in denial + continue to live in the past...
Star Trek is first and foremost a business + the Abrams "business model" is far more successful than the days of Enterprise not being able to draw a million people to watch the show for free on a weekly basis.
"We'll do it like in Episode 86!"
"...Episode...86?"
"Whats wrong with Episode 86?"
"I...DIED, IN EPISODE EIGHTY SIX! AAAAaaeeee!"
Sam Rockwell really made Galaxy Quest what it was. But at the same time, the very end when they get their shit together and destroy Saris' ship is just....pure Trek. It really is the best movie of the franchise.

"Meta" is overused and probably not the word I'm looking for, exactly, anyway, but part of why Galaxy Quest is such a brilliant Trek movie is that it's the only one that can include and embrace the thing that's actually most interesting about Star Trek: the fan movement. People think of Star Trek, they think: trekkies - but there are no trekkies in Star Trek, except for Galaxy Quest.
We saw someone with a strong sense of style could do....that mess was called NEMESIS.
No problem, I won't if they won't - sounds like they have already started but I'll refrain and see if everyone is treated equally.
Don't count on it.
There's a right way to go about critiquing forum moderation... and then there's this. Which I know you know isn't the right way.
You did it anyway, and that will earn you a warning. Comments to PM.
He was addressing a few specific individuals. Not the whole fan base.
He told exactly one fan to fuck off. One—in one TrekMovie comment thread out of dozens in which Orci had participated over the course of several years—and he apologized shortly afterward for having lost his cool.
Being a writer and producer for both TV and film, I have no doubt Orci had the technical know how to direct. How his "vision" would come across on screen is anyone's guess?
But it would've been an interesting experiment to watch.
