Under Construction? But I thought that this movie was all just promotional buzz for MI3?!? It's actually happening?!?

I don't suppose there really is much to gain by putting out a general suggestion to chill?

Too bad one cannot edit polls once you've posted them, I was half-asleep when I wrote them.

I was just laughing when I read that - not knowing if it was intentional or not (along the lines of canon, cannon)

Totally preaching to the choir man! Paramount just keeps dropping the ball! I mean, look at the teaser trailer for First Contact. There was a shot of Voyager firing phasers at a borg cube! Voyager wasn't in FC! Way to stick to continuity paramount! Oh, and don't even get me started on the catastrophe that was the sloppy green screen screw up during the observation lounge scene in Nemesis.


That was my attempt at humor.

Sorry for wasting your time.

In all seriousness, at the end of the day, it's just a movie trailer.

Ya know, the only thing sillier than the original post is the over-the-top responses which it continues to draw.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

^The over-the-top responses are all metaphors.

Over the top responses make this forum entertaining.

trolling? I'd like to think so. And pretty late trolling it is, ohboi...

Trolling is not liking or agreeing with my opinions. Trolling is also posting anything that fails to praise me, my opinions, or how others react to my opinions when they are praising them.

That is what trolling is.

TAMEK HAS SPOKEN

I'm about to open up a super sized can of worms with my next comment; please forgive me, but I'm surprised no one on the board has mention Captain Robert April.

 

[Akiraprise]

^ Where have you been? He's only been mentioned 1,000,000,000,000 times like everything else.

 

[StarMan]

^They have.

A number of times.

...I recall somebody over at Trekmovie.com asking whether the construction would be seen in the film. To which Roberto Orci replied, "No comment..."

This seem to be a more definitive clue as to whether or not we will see the Big E under construction in the movie...

..."starbase63:
Please settle the arguement that has erupted since the release of the teaser…which shows the Enterprise being built in a ground based drydock (someone seems to have taken a gag photo seriously). Though not official, it has been accepted from “The Making of Star Trek” on, and even listed in the entries both in Michael Okuda’s Star Trek Encyclopedia and the Library at startrek.com that the ship was assembled in orbit…even in the Enterprise series set 85 years before TOS we see ships being built in orbit. Will we actually see the 1701 finished in the San Francisco Orbital Yard, or has this concept been thrown out? After all, duranium will be just as strong in orbit as it would on Earth…

Roberto Orci: Without giving anything away, nothing in the teaser precludes final assembly in space...."

He kinda-sorta confirms in an Ass-Backward way, that we WILL see the ENTERPRISE being built in the movie.

So it appears that with the info now given, the Teaser ENTERPRISE may actually be in the movie!

The names of Winona and George Kirk Sr come from the same ST novel tie-ins that featured TAS's Captain Robert April. The writers of ST XI have said they will be saluting several aspects of the novels. I think we'll see or hear a tip of the hat to April at some point.

Those are rather super-stale worms you've got there.

Are you sure you checked the "best if sold by" date on the label?
