1 picture that shows Star Trek giving itself a bad name

[Bucky]

God, it really is gonna be Star Trek 90210.

They're in post production; tell God he's too late with that earthquake.

[DS1]

1. Post-production is over

:evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

2. K&R - that looks like a big ad for Pampers(tm).

[laconicsax]

3. As if this is the worst thing to ever happen to Trek...

[rcrush]

5. lol enterprise

lol voyager

lol star trek nemesis

lol rick berman and brandon braga

[laconicsax]

6. That's a good start

:thumbsup:

[Captain Hilts]

10. Don't forget what a drag DS9 was. Ugh!!!

[tigereye]

24. some of us really liked DS9

[Captain Hilts]

26. Some really liked Voyager.

In many ways, they were both vastly superior to TNG and TOS.

[laconicsax]

34. DS9 was the best written of the franchise.

[Captain Hilts]

39. And had some of THE most irritating characters and plot threads.

Not to mention twice abandoning its format.

I liked it somewhat.

[Orsino]

32. Two words:

"Spock's Brain." I think it's a bit disingenuous, forty years later, to worry that a forthcoming Trek might be disappointing. The franchise has always shot itself in the foot, its occasional soaring triumphs keeping the legend alive despite the latest epic fail.

Strangely, I'm of the opinion that the series that sucked the least was Enterprise--but perhaps that's partly due to its not having lasted as long as the other series.

[rcrush]

4. Hey when did Harold join starfleet?

I guess they did away with that drug test after they let Kirk in.

[DarkTirade]

7. No, they had to do away with the STD tests to let Kirk in.

:P

[Deep13]

16. Right after Kumar began medical school. nt

[rcrush]

20. Pot heads are going far these days

I heard Kumar left his medical practice to work in the White House.

[JTG of the PRB]

8. Every songle buzz I've seen on the interwebs is saying the movie is going to be amazing.

Some people out there are saying it's better than Wrath of Khan. Not that I believe that, because Wrath of Khan was almost perfect.

However, I will still probably see Star Trek at least three times.

[Frank Cannon]

13. There was a surprise showing of this in Austin a couple nights ago

Star Trek fans showed up expecting a remastered print of "Wrath of Khan" and ended up watching the new one.

The reviews posted on several sites from this screening have been overwhelmingly positive and excited. I haven't read a single bad thing about it.

[BattyDem]

9. It can't be all bad.

After all, "Sylar" makes a damn fine looking Spock! He's more "Nimoy" than Nimoy! ;-)

[keroro gunsou]

11. preliminary reviews

at ain't it cool news have good things to say. the reviewer is a hard core old school star trek fan. and he actually likes a lot of the casting choices. simon pegg as scotty might turn out pretty good, as with eomer, i mean karl urban as bones... who knows.

i'm willing to give it a chance before i pee all over it.

[BattyDem]

12. I'm looking forward to it.

If it's terrible ... fine. It won't be the first time a Trek movie disappointed me.

From what I've read, it sounds like it's going to be good. The trailer looks great! I know ... a great trailer doesn't mean a great movie, but like you, I'm willing to give it a chance. I really do hope they got it right because I could use some new Trek. :-)

[Frank Cannon]

14. Karl Urban has been getting great reviews

I was skeptical, too, but apparently he delivers the country doctor goodness.

[no name no slogan]

31. Oh, KARL Urban

I first read that as Keith Urban. And then I read "country doctor" and came down with an even more severe case of WTFitis.

[Orsino]

33. The latest trailer includes a snippet of Urban's introducing himself.

He not only has the look; he seems to have the voice, too. These other kids, though, keep me thinking WTF?

I know nothing of Lost, but I guess I'm ready to see an outsider's take on the franchise--and maybe it's better that we don't spend two hours with a Shatner impersonator.

[Cannikin]

15. I think this picture does it more justice.

I find myself getting excited about this movie the closer it gets.




I think I'd make a good Vulcan

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. I have no hope for this movie. It's gonna be utter shit. It'll make Nemesis look like Citizen Kane.

It'll make Enterprise look like it was well-written.

[keroro gunsou]

18. why not go see it

before peeing on it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. I didn't say that I wouldn't see it - I'm saying that I have no hope for it.

[keroro gunsou]

30. in that case

it will fail in your eyes. open minds please. i know next to nothing about the cast, other than karl urban, but i'm willing to give them a chance to step into some established characters and make them their own. so long as the spirit of the originals is alive, i'll be happy.

then again, it could blow up in my face with a suckitude of intergalactic proportions. who knows. :evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

36. A scary hypothesis...

I'm not keen on remakes, and all the pics I've seen just look wrong... but I might see it anyway. During the $5 showing so I won't have wasted too much... if it's good, then I'll watch it at proper showing and make a pass at one or two of the trekkies in the audience... :shrug:

[LanternWaste]

19. Low expectations, high hopes...

I've got low expectations for it, but some high hopes...

That J.J. Abrams is directing keeps my hopes up. That it does look like ST: 90210 tempts me to keep my expectations low.
Not having the powers of prognostication so many do, that's the best I can do. :P

[Auggie]

21. Can't be any worse than this bozo:

Worst SciFi casting decision of all time

[tigereye]

25. ya know though, he was making more sense as the character in the last one...

but I agree. He's not a bad actor, but he ended up becoming one in those films. It's Lucas' fault, really.

[Auggie]

28. Good point about Lucas

[hunter]

29. That, and nobody telling George Lucas to hire decent writers.

My willing suspension of disbelief failed when Padme didn't stick a knife in that whining asshole and feed him to the womp rats.

[Deja Q]

37. Unless the entire ST: reboot cast makes Hayden into Tommy Lee Jones by comparison...

Let me know how many nightmares you have tonight...

[laconicsax]

38. I've seen trees that were better actors.

Case in point:

[swishyfeet]

40. You read my mind.

I was going to mention that at least they didn't cast the idiot who played Anakin.

[tigereye]

23. the last trailer I saw didn't look too bad..

as opposed to some "explosion laden and little else" trailers I saw earlier.



Perhaps they decided they didn't want to piss off the Trek faithful too much.. :rofl:

[graywarrior]

27. Rejects from Make Me a Supermodel

[Noodleboy13]

35. I just read some very positive reviews on Aint it Cool News.

Granted, Harry Knowles does have a tendency to shill a bit, but he and other folks who saw a surprise screening said it was a successful re-boot of the franchise. Obviously there were minor quibbles, (that's quibbles not tribbles) about some of the casting decisions, but these kids have some pretty big shoes to fill. I mean, would you really want to have to try and play Spock?
Personally, I think it might be nice to see some Sci-fi that didn't suck or was dystopian.

peace
