Screenrant's rant

I read that rumor/spoiler (roiler? spumor?) over at TrekMovie, and frankly don't know what to make of it. It *could* explain why the teaser E looks the way it does...
 
Well, I've known for a while that there were several different starfleet ships to be seen in the flick. I hadn't given serious consideration to there being more than one MAJOR revision of the E (from different universes) though.

If this is accurate (and I consider it nothing BUT a rumor right now), it would provide that explanation that's missing so far, and would make the "different-looking, and different-sized" ship fit into the existing stuff.
 
God I hope JJ is careful with this. I'm fine with time travel, but I really don't want this to turn into another "Parallels", with a bunch of overlapping timelines and starships, and mirror-Enterprise crews interacting with each other.

That's fine in a TV episode, but NOT a movie. Especially one that's trying to be accessible to a larger audience.

"Larger audiences" seemed to have no trouble with the Back to the Future trilogy. I don't see what the problem is.
 
George Kirk: Jim, it's George. Your brother, George Kirk! You know that new ship design you been looking for? Well take a look at this!


... and that how the ship will be revealed. :D
 
I love time travel and alternate realities, its a great way to expand the mind. The only thing I have a problem with is when they say something like "lets travel back into someones past to change their history"...

This annoys me because I always find they pick the stupidest times to travel to to do it. Times we already know, times that match the current real world. They always travel to a time where they are always thwarted time and again.

If you wanted to change history all you have to do is travel back in time a few billion years with a few nuclear weapons... blow apart the first ever single celled lifeforms and that species never exists...no resistance.

ANY other timetravel scenario apart from this one I will LOVE.

Yes it would, and for that reason I hope there's some truth to this. If so, I'm wondering what the chances are that we'll end up with the same 'reality' we started with.

I'm looking forward to seeing the "kick-ass" warship version of the E, and I'm betting it's not the trailer version, which doesn't look particularly "mean" IMO(unless it's just crawling with phaser cannons and torp launchers below the saucer).

Actually the first and third movies were just straightforward time-travel stories. The second movie-- and for most people the least of the three-- was the one that got all weird and twisty and played around with alternate timelines.

I'm not bailing on the movie or anything here. It's just that usually when movies play around with paradoxes and alternate universes (the LiS movie anyone?) it doesn't turn out that well.
 
I wonder what the whopper spoiler is?

Frankly, if you're not going to share, don't even *mention* it.
 
No, no. I refer to this:

Well now we've come across some new information about the plot regarding the USS Enterprise, the timeline aspect of the film, and a whopper of a plot spoiler that's so huge that I have decided not to reveal it.

It's a big fucking tease and - unless said tease is a hot chick between my legs with a feather, 1½ pounds of bacon fat, a hairbrush and a lot of imagination - I don't like being teased.

Dude, you should be a poet.
 
So are they going to have a whole different "alternate" Enterprise set with different uniforms and stuff? This is kind of getting confusing...

Why isn't that post appearing on my screen?
