Who is angry with nu trek?

[Kemaiku]

I'm happy I'll have a new Trek series to watch, watch again and then go online to tell other fans how their opinion is wrong for disagreeing with me.

I take it you'll be petitioning CBS to have Jewel play the captain?

Well duh, she's perfect for any role.

Seriously, you want to hash this all out one more time? 'Cause we've never debated this issue any time over the last six years? Even in threads that started out on different topics?

Life is too short . . ..

 

[Squiggy]

It also sounds like the OP has a problem with the movies. There's a forum for that.

Angry? I'm fucking livid. Something seriously needs to be done about this. And soon.

What are we talking about?

Pumpkin Spice, one of the less well known Spice Girls.

I've enjoyed the ST09 and to a lesser extent STID, for me they could have dropped the whole Khan storyline and it would have worked fine, Harrison could have been just another exiled superman or one who fled Earth.

Life is too short which is why we should have Trek done right as Roddenberry dreamed it. It should have vision and details and all come down to the right team of designers and writers. Thoughtful people , not clever suck ups. It all comes down to space opera being written well and the script that starts it all. WNMHGB was a power house and defined space opera. Full of inner conflict and action and a moral Captain from a utopian Earth. The Cage wasn't accepted because it was too cerebral. I get that. The right space opera is out there waiting to be adapted into a prequel Star Trek done right. Let Star wars have all the silly aliens.

I am angery and magnesium.

Anybody?

Well, I must say, my very first gut reaction when I saw 2009 was one of shock and repulsion.("What!? How dare they destroy Vulcan! The temerity! That's not supposed to happen at all!")

And then it dawned on me that they were under no 'obligation' whatsoever to follow classic Trek. Because at the end of the day, it's just entertainment, not some sacred 'canon' or even concept they should adhere to. They can make it whatever they want it to be.

After I realised that, I could see the 2009 movie (and its successor) in its own light, and I found it to be quite a fine movie, that in its own way pays homage to classic Trek. But not slavishly, and with funny plot twists that also give a contemporary interpretation to the classic Spock-Kirk-McCoy friendship.

Kirk needs a break. Give someone else a chance.

Love it. ST09 is one of my favorite ST films and ID is pretty good as well. Excited for Beyond!

I'm glad you counted your toes, Johnny. Good for you.

Someone need to take their meds?

 

[xortex]

I would love to take you all on some more, but I got to go now. See you later.

 

[Campe]

Because you're doing such a great job already.

BYE!

Real life calls.

 

[Dukhat]

Real life calls.

Real life is somebody admitting that they're wrong when they try to make people agree with their lunatic way of thinking, and fail miserably.

Edit: Actually, shit; that's fantasy too.

Angry with nuTrek?

I sat through "Profit and Lace(DS9)," any episode featuring a holodeck program of an Irish village and a script where Beverly Crusher got it on with a ghost that lived inside a family lamp. So far nuTrek has yet to show me anything that ridiculous and until it does and on a repeating basis I'll watch the new films and hope to enjoy them as much as I did the previous two (especially the first one). I'm a satisfied customer for the most part.

I'm just going to say this: I'm not angry with nuTrek. It's an effing movie series. And there are far more important things in the world to get angry with than entertainment. I don't like something? I just don't support it. Case in point: Voyager, the new Muppet show, M. Night Shaymalan, country music.

As others have said: Life is too short to get angry about such things. If I don't like the way the new Trek series goes? I don't have to watch it. No one is forcing me to do so. And the people who make it sound like they have a gun pointed at their head while they watch anything? Well, they need to get out more.
