"Star Trek Begins" - The 'Origins' Film Discussion

[Tomalak]

Starfleet Academy is in production as we speak. Filming started a few weeks ago.

2026? Is that right? I thought sets had been built already? So potentially no SFA until 2027?

As discussed above, it's in production now.

Ta! I just read and was about to correct myself. Soz, Dukhat!

No, production has started. But it won’t be televised until 2026, at least according to Kurtzman.

I don't like Star Trek cannibalizing itself.

 

[Dukhat]

I don't like Star Trek cannibalizing itself.

Please explain.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Yeah, not sure I understand that one either.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I assume it's about remakes, reboots and reuse.

That reminds me. I gotta put my recycling out.

No you don't. When the sun goes nova it's not going to matter one bit what color bag we put plastics in.

Solar Storm today and it's garbage pick up day!!!!!

Y'know, every so once in a while we get one of these larger-than-average solar flares headed our way and people act like the Earth is gonna explode or something. Nothing ever happens. Not even some random sparking out of the wall sockets!

I think our electrical infrastructure is a lot more robust than people give it credit for.

That is not how you write a disaster film!!!!!

The extinction meteor should come well before that.

Not exactly: we’ve just been extremely lucky so far.

 

[137th Gebirg]

So, in other words, nothing has happened.

So, in other words, nothing has happened.

Yeah: once more we’ve been lucky.

Imagine finding even five Star Trek fans who agree on everything!

There’s no way The Voyage Home would have been made if fans had an effective veto.

But seriously, we know this is happening and that studios take it on board. SNW and PIC S3 were both designed to appeal to online fans after early seasons of Disco proved divisive. Even giving the Klingons hair and D7s, and bringing back Pike and Spock in DIS S2 was evidence of that.

Yup, and those are the two best seasons of live action modern streaming Trek......

Indeed and it was a mixed bag. It's a reactive based storytelling that doesn't inspire me. I like Pike but seeing the TNG crew back or Kirk or Scotty or more Klingons is tepid at times.

Voyage Home is such a unique film. The whole thing is designed to appeal to more than me as a fan. I would I like way more of that.

 

[Dukhat]

Hey Paramount: Just make a DS9 movie. Sure, only hardcore DS9 fans and the percentage of Star Trek fans who will go see a movie with 'Star Trek' in the title will watch it, but it's still an infinitely better idea than anything you've come up with for the last 8 years.

 

[137th Gebirg]

ONLY if Ira Behr is involved though. Also maybe RDM.

If not, then I would respectfully disagree with that assessment.
