You mention Dr. Spock on Star Track.you say Mr. Zulu insted of Mr. Sulu like they do on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of ere
And, we have a winner!
...you apparently think it's possible to "like" a movie that you're not even going to see until next year.
I don't hate or revile you.
The new movie looks like crap, both as an extension of the Trek franchise and on its own merits.
you say Mr. Zulu insted of Mr. Sulu like they do on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of ere
I have a friend like that. No matter how many times I tell him it's Sulu he says Zulu. He also calls Uhura Ohura.
You Know You're Not A Star Trek Fan When...
...you refer to it as "Star Track".
...you think Lt. O'Hura is Irish.
...you're absolutely certain there was a robot who kept saying "Danger!"
...you laugh at the special effects and say "This show looks like it was made way back in the 1970's!"

you confuse Star Trek with Star Wars
Run from the theater screaming!
[FONT=Times New Roman]It has been quite apparent that the franchise (under Rick Berman) has tried to make the movies for general audiences in order to increase sales and bring in a new fan base. This however is the very reason why the movies fail. It is important to maintain continuity in any work of series fiction and to ignore this ideal causes the diehard fans to run from the theater screaming. I understand that a movie has to be profitable but before going into production would it hurt to get some fans together and proofread the script or give insights into the characters. Maybe a fan could have told them that Cocrain wasn’t human and first contact wasn’t with the Vulcans…. you see my point.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I have seen the new preview and I can already point out some apparent flaws:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Kirk in several of the TOS episodes was referred to as a bookworm.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]The enterprise wasn’t constructed on earth…. It’s not gravity friendly.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Humans didn’t even see a Romulan until the TOS episode Balance of Terror.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Chekov wasn’t at the helm until later in the series.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Kirk handed that Corvette well…He couldn’t drive in A Piece of the Action.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I know it’s nitpicking but when you rewrite or ignore the previous episodes to support a new plot just to attract a new audience you cheapen the entire franchise. I understand that the actors and special effects have to be changed but keep the series continuity or better yet stop going backwards and create a new series with new stories starting after Voyager. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I will go see this work and I will probably leave screaming.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]P.S. Didn’t Startrek Nemesis just have a Romulan enemy plot?[/FONT]

Re: Run from the theater screaming!
Damn that post was tough to get through. Might wanna think about cutting the format stuff and using some paragraphs.
Who was human first contact with, then and what series or movie established that? Same with Cochrane's species.
There would be far fewer issues with "canon" if people would get it through their heads that their wild-assed assumptions aren't canon.
Also, what does this rant against the new movie have to do with this topic?
