Bring on Transformers…

Tuvok is great!

What makes you think that Tuvok was killed off? I have no idea why so many people are having such a fit over the alternate timeline. I really think it opens up so many storylines. Also, I am sure that there are more Vulcans left than those that were saved from the planet. There WERE Vulcan colony planets.

Or maybe you just wanted another snoozefest like Insurrection?

Face it people, Trek was slowly dying by being tied into it’s canon and the characters in that universe. The only people going to the movies were Trekkies and it wasn’t profitable for Paramount to make movies in that universe anymore. I’m glad that Abrams found a way to energize the public into liking Trek again. We now have the characters we know, but we don’t KNOW what is going to happen. I like it and I am hoping that we can get another 20+ years of movies out of Trek now.

He was already over 100 when Voyager was on, so maybe he was off planet when Vulcan was destroyed . . .

I agree though; they could have rebooted the timeline without destroying Vulcan.

Abrams is an asshole.

I agree, that does sound really cool as an idea for a Trek series. That way the writers can sit down and just write one story from beginning to end without trying to extend it for 5,6,7 seasons. One of the things I loved about TOS was that each episode (IMO) held it’s own storywise. You really didn’t need to know what happened in Episode 12 to enjoy episode 26. I think TNG tied alot of it’s episodes together that way. Of course TNG also brought us 2 of the best villains in the Borg AND Q. How cool would it be for a mini-series “Star Trek: The Q-Continuum”?

Anyway – one of the thoughts that I found intriguing was a mini-series formula giving other familar characters or Star Trek races a chance in the spotlight. There’s always been talk of a Star Trek:Klingon show for example. Another variation of this idea was a Star Trek show that would re-boot itselt every season. One year set on a Federation starship, one on a planet, next one being about Romulans or something. I always thought that idea would be cool too.

hope it gets made, its real good so far.

Am I reading this correctly? You wrote a Star Trek movie treatment?

And there’s a lot of random Star Trek finger pointing going on in this thread. Jeez . . .

All four series all had great and bad episodes. It’s not a big deal. Let’s not fight boys and girls . . .

That was a great episode. Also, the actor playing the Romulan Captain went on to also play Sarevok(sp) Spock’s dad in later episodes….

I think a lot of DS9 fans would have liked how he came back.

My favorite TNG episode was “Elementary, Dear Data”, when the Sherlock Holmes’ nemesis Moriarty took over the Enterprise.

You want Sisko in your story? I like your story but didn’t he go off to live with the Prophets?

Not trying to argue or convert you, but I fel the need to addess one thing…..

TOS was much more than a childs show, I was 8 at the time, but my Grandfather (65 at the time 1966) we watched it together each week, with other family members too, We never missed an episode, it had the reputation of being a family show, also when the conventions started poping up just 4 or 5 years after the cancellation, when I was 14 or 15 I could not go due to cost, these events were attended by an aduance vast in age from 18 to 70, most in attendance were in the middle age group.

It was the first tv series to take a serious look at colonizing space on a weekly basis. For the time period it was way ahead of its time.

It was and is more than a space drama, has a good mix of action and adventure and a touch of comedy.

To All:

A couple of my favorit epidoes were Space Seed, City on The edge of Forever, and A Piece Of The Action, these are episodes that everyone should see at least once, I would love to see a theatrical release comprised of these 3 episodes!

TNG had one great actor. Patrick Stewart is amazing but his role was silly. The show was unforgivably silly altogether. Wesley Crusher and an annoying Klingon kid named Alexander. A bridge that looks like Macy’s cosmetics counter. Etcetera, etcetera. TNG is simply a feminized, politicized TOS.

The show was basically a flying coffee cafe (how much time was spent in Ten Forward with that ridiculous all-wise Whoopi Goldberg character?) whose producers, Roddenberry “possibly” excluded, didn’t know or appreciate the sci-fi ground broken by ST:TOS.

The Trek shows following TNG were all better in many ways because someone, somewhere learned from some of TNG’s mistakes. Heck, even the last season of TNG was a big improvement for the same reason.

The new movie took a lot of writer’s cop-outs but overall Star Trek is back in a good way.

Took me 2-3 years before accepting TNG, but fell in love with that show too.

As for harping on Shatner’s acting. Well i don’t consider him a good or bad actor. He is a unique actor with his own style. A style that he’s maintanined from his earlier shakespearian theatre days, which I think suited his Captain Kirk’s persona very well.

My opinion…

Some of you had low expectations, I had the opposite. I had high expectations of JJ Abrams et al and they did not fail. The movie was a thrill ride and reinvigorated my dreams of becoming and engineer. I love Star Trek once again.
