Will an inverse tachyon beam stop this film from being released? <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

This thread has echoes of the Armageddon thread from a while back! It's all pretend folks, since when did any fiction have to be plausible? Bring on Star Trek XI I say!!! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />I wonder if a new 'Trek movie is seen by the Paramount execs as the launch vehicle for the obligatory spin-off TV series. Would be interesting to see the process go the other way for a change. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?  Henry, the mild-mannered janitor ... could be!</font></em></p><p><em><font size="2">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></em></p><p><font size="5">Bring Back The Black!</font></p> </div>

Here and I thought it was the Flux Capacitor that was effected by the Warp bubble. Geeez, my fault. that plot line was still unbelievably Stupid. <br /><br />There is no way a Voyager probe by the time of Kirk could have made it anywhere near a black hole, hell, it would still be in the Ort cloud.... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#ff0000"><u><em>Don't let your sig line incite a gay thread ;>)</em></u></font> </div>

The new movie will have a different style and won't center around a Captain + ship.

 

[lampblack]

The thing that annoyed me about the first Trek movie was that *somebody* got totally carried away with luxuriating in the improved special effects. After about the third slow camera pan over the Enterprise with music swelling, I started shifting uncomfortably in my seat. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

Yes, it was rather over-indulgent but you have to put it in the wider context of a franchise that was brought back from the dead by people-power essentially.<br /><br />I can forgive them basking a little in their triumph in getting the characters off the ground again. Particularly the FX department, many of whom were probably around during the "you've got fifty bucks per episode, knock yourself out" TV days. They must have thought all their Xmas's had come at once when they saw the budget they had to play with on that first movie! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?  Henry, the mild-mannered janitor ... could be!</font></em></p><p><em><font size="2">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></em></p><p><font size="5">Bring Back The Black!</font></p> </div>

 

[elguapoguano]

Actually that was one of the scenes that I enjoyed from that movie. I could never understand how the bald chick was supposed to be so attractive. But I did like seeing Kirk see the newly refit, now kick a$$ Enterprise docked in Earth Orbit. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#ff0000"><u><em>Don't let your sig line incite a gay thread ;>)</em></u></font> </div>

 

[nova_explored]

yes. i would agree. i thought she was attractive. kinda sexy.<br /><br />but plzzzzzzzz nooooooooo michael bay. Its just going to be like the last one, lots of pointless running around with an excuse for more pointless action. <br /><br />besides all the new star trek movies, and i am a huge fan of tng the show, huge, but, there just wasn't any creative ingenuity in the movies. <br /><br />atleast the first one stuck to the principles of the show. <br /><br />and on the note of quotable lines- 'bones!'<br />and we could pretty much quote the entire klingon court hearing.<br /><br />"I WAS TRYING TO SAVE HIM. WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. CAN"T YOU UNDERSTAND, HE WAS DYING MAN. I WAS TRYING TO SAVE HIM."<br /><br />i have no idea why i know that. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<i>The new movie will have a different style and won't center around a Captain + ship.</i><hr /><br />if not a captain and ship then what? <br /><br />Actually something about the first human settlers on an alian planet might be interesting... or something directly after 1st Contact.

 

[chew_on_this]

I'd always thought they would re-visit another one of the open-ended episodes like Wrath of Khan. I believe the TOS pilot was left open-ended. Was there others?

 

[chew_on_this]

The gangster one was left open-ended. Piece of the action I believe. Didn't bones say he left/lost his communicator?

 

[larper]

I want to see what happens when Moriarty finally realizes he was duped again. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Vote </font><font color="#3366ff">Libertarian</font></strong></p> </div>

 

[nova_explored]

i'm trying to remember, how was wrath of khan open ended?<br /><br />its been a while.<br /><br />TNG had a lot of open ended episodes. Especially revolving around Data. something i found interesting about the show, the lives and backlog of every character was delved into pretty thoroughly except Jordi...maybe Riker as well. But Jordi has no real history about him except that he lost his sight. i wonder why.<br /><br />you know who should direct a new movie...peter weir. (master and commander, dead poets society) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[darth_elmo]

That was addressed at least in TNG. When that planet was revisited by the Federation, they had disassembled McCoy's communicator and reverse-engineered it to build a society based on the Federation, its ideals, and technology. (Or was that just in one of the technobabble manuals...?)

 

[nova_explored]

is that the one where they were monitoring and decided it was time for contact, went down and all hell broke loose almost killing wesley and worf? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[darth_elmo]

Don't think so. I remember more clearly that I read this in one of the techie manuals, almost certainly <i>Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual</i>. It was used as an example of how violating the Prime Directive could destroy a culture's integrity and uniqueness.

 

[chew_on_this]

At the end of the the original episode, Bones or Spock said to Kirk, "if we came back in a couple hundred years to see what sprung from the seed you planted here today" or something to that effect. Pretty open-ended.

 

[Leovinus]

Mudd's Women had a sequel "I,Mudd" and the sequel was open-ended. I think someone wrote a ST novel as a sequel to the second Mudd episode. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[chew_on_this]

I always thought "Piece of the action" was one of the better episodes. Didn't care much for the Harry Mudd episodes. If they built on that premise, I doubt I'd be going to that movie.

 

[mooware]

<font color="yellow">But Jordi has no real history about him except that he lost his sight. i wonder why.</font><br /><br />This was addressed in one of the TNG episodes, I don't recall the name, but Jordi was stranded on a desolate planet with a Romulan Centaurian. Jordi was born blind, and the Romulan said something to the effect of not letting Defective children live.<br /><br />

 

[thebigcat]

spacenator: if not a captain and ship then what?<br /><br />That's a question that I think has some teeth to it. To get away from Roddenberry's favorite format (Not just the Trek franchise, but Andromeda as well.) opens up a lot of territory.<br /><br /> I like your idea about a newly settled planet. I would like to see something like that. A friend of mine has stated his desire to see them make a movie or series about the "dirty underbelly" of the Federation, away from the squeeky cleanliness of Star Fleet. (This was well before Firefly) An idea of mine that would probably be too unweildy to ever make would be a "Starship Carrier" that would be about the size of a borg cube or larger and carry several ships of Defiant size that would travel the Delta Quadrant making contact with many of the civilizations that Janeway offended and quite a few that she missed entirely, spreading the Federation's message of "harmony and peace or stay out of our way". <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
