How do they keep comping up with storylines for Star Trek? 

Seriously, this show was canceled in its third season, then brought back. AND THAT WAS FOURTY YEARS AGO!

Now, I understand that technology keeps getting better, but that is NO EXCUSE FOR COMING UP WITH A NEW STAR TREK MOVIE EVERY TIME MOVIE TECHNOLOGY GETS BETTER!


On a less animated note, I wonder, since I heard the name "Johnathan" mentioned but also an old, gravelly voice saying the "final frontier" quote, if it's going to be pre- or post-TNG/Voyager.

It's pre-TNG, before the original series, based during the time that Kirk was at the academy, IIRC.

Personally, I've been thinking they should sit on the franchise for another few years and then do a new series. The last Trek just seemed like Trek for the sake of Trek. I've heard very mixed things about it, and watched a few episodes, and the overall impression that I've gotten is that it used a lot of various Trek storylines but never came up with anything to really distinguish itself, save the Time War.

And I would bet you that the gravelly voice is Leonard Nimoy.

[Kosh]

I do wonder how they will get the voices to match with the originals.....

Star Trek is senile and confused. I think we should invite Star Trek for a nice, Thoreauvian walk through the woods, and then when it kneels down to admire the mystical splendor of Spring's first blossom, we should tearfully whisper an apology, and shoot Star Trek in the head.

I would have recommended taking Star Trek out into the night and leaving it naked upon the ice floe, your way seems a bit more stylish.

trek has always been and shall always be my best friend

Yea the movie is set after Enterprise and before TOS, rumors have it that it'll probably cover the Earth-Romulan wars.

I'm excited to see what they're going to do with it.

Rumor has it that you guys are all incredibly behind the times. The teaser poster has been out since this past summer. If you check Memory Alpha, Wikipedia, or StarTrek.com, you can quite easily see that there's plenty of information. It's TOS-era, with the launch of NCC-1701. First mission of Kirk's crew, although they're working Pike in somewhere.

Quoting 'Of Mice and Men'?

I seem to recall a trailer that looked suspiciously 'Mirror Mirror'-esque to me

[BloodEagle]

Has anyone else noticed that quality in the Star Trek series has been declining ever since Next Gen finished up? .... Then again, I seem to notice quality in everything is declining. 

[vyper]

DS9 was very good (post Season 3) - and Enterprise managed to salvage some respect with Season 4.

[BloodEagle]

 

I disagree, I think DS9 was better during the early seasons. I mean, the show really started getting repetitive later on, not to mention that that whole Dominion thing was boring as all Hell.

As for Enterprise, you could be right. However, If a series sucks for the first three seasons (I will have stopped watching after the fifth episode), I'm not going to bother watching the fourth.

[Col. Fishguts]

The dominion war was the only thing presented in an interesting way in the whole of Star Trek, ever.

[perihelion]

Seconded.

[NGTM-1R]

So the problem is with you. Got it.

You would seriously watch cow droppings for three years in the hopes that it would turn into a ruby or something?

That's not nice.

*runsforcover* ST will be pwned from SW anyway
