FirstNationalBastard: Eh, Star Trek is dead, anyway.

Let 'em keep getting hacks to rape the corpse and talentless pretty boys to play on the apple store sets.

Thankfully, there's still at least one good sci-fi series out there where they don't have to jettison everything and "reimagine the brand" because of uncreative hack writers and producers...

How many times have the Daleks been wiped out now?

That actually got me to click a Breitbart link. Like all the others, I see no source, and so I will assume it was totally pulled out of someone's ass.

Confabulat: On the bright side, they also are reporting Nimoy's coming back.

Prediction: Alpha Spock tells Beta Spock & nuKirk about Khan. They hurry out on a quick mission, blow the Botany Bay out of the sky without a word, then head back to Earth to get on with the main plot.

Gotta love the fanboys who leap to badmouth anything that's not what they personally think something should be.

Star Trek, Star Wars, Final Fantasy, Sonic the Hedgehog, Kingdom Hearts, Doctor Who, Twilight, Harry Potter, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Justice League. Doesn't matter what it is, there's always those sections of the fans who can't seem to accept the fact that things change over the years, or who get so pissy about the franchise doing something they don't want it to that they bring down the entire fandom with their crybaby fanaticism that makes normal people look down on them with pity and annoyance, which extends to the fans who aren't raging retards and makes everyone think the entire fandom is nothing but man-child fan fic writers upset that their particular story wasn't made canon by the object of their misguided lust.

Guys, here's a helpful piece of advice: life isn't always what you want. Accept it and move on.

El Freak: I've noticed that it seems like the more one appreciates TOS for the campy, awesome cheesefest it was, the more you're liable to like the reboot. I've seen just about every episode of every series except Voyager, and I liked the reboot. But whatever. StoplikingwhatIdontlike.jpg

The real correlation is the amount of dislike is proportional to:

1) Basement dwellers who keyed in on the technobbable and memorized years worth of fictional stats and manuals and places.
2) Section 32'ers who loved the baysplotions, fleet battles and CGI fest of DS9 and think a movie about an obscure Starfleet James Bond is what would save the entire franchise.

Both are wrong.

I like every Trek, having got into it with TNG / TMP's, and appreciate them all but VOY (and even there there's about 20 good episodes worth watching standalone). JJ hit the nail on the head, with a few minor problems. But he really brought back the feeling of what Trek/TOS used to be, and that's a good thing for a franchise that was deader then Roddenberry.

Everything I've read has me believe Roddenberry would have loved what JJ did. And hated what happened to VOY/ENT and late DS9 (even as DS9 was good TV)

There's no way this would be a revenge flick.

Kirk has intel on Khan situation thanks to Spock Prime. Unless they fast forward 8 years or so in time to 2266, they'll be meeting Khan on totally different terms. Unless the filmmakers are total raging idiots, they wouldn't have Kirk and Khan's first meeting go south despite having one of his crewmembers marrying Khan, marooning him on a planet which is Ceti Alpha V or another planet that also somehow kills Marla McGivers causing Khan to stew in his supreme intellect soup for 20 years thus causing another Moby Dickbutt situation.

No. Farking. Way.

This has to be a totally different story structure with a totally different character dynamics.

I'll give them +9000 points if Khan survives and goes on to captain a Starfleet ship in the end.

Confabulat: I really hope this is some false rumor J.J. Abrams put out or something but it seems like it's real. If so that's too bad. An entire reinvented universe and they choose Khan?

Hollywood really IS out of ideas.

This.

What was the point of the reboot if you're going to go back and just use old crap?

I have to imagine this is a fake.

This is the guy that stopped production one day because someone got a picture of Zoe in uniform, then erected a huge wall to prevent the paparazi from snapping more. And they're just going to announce who the villain is this far out?

FirstNationalBastard:

10/10, good sir!



Honestly, that was masterful. I am a fan.

More Brietbart?
No Thanks! NSFW

Brietbart 'unveiled' the obama college video, yet his webpage still sucks from beyond the grave. He's dead, Jim. Looking forward to not seeing him on Fark. No clicks from me.

ryant123: Ed Grubermann: Voyager and Enterprise (and the first two seasons of TNG) were complete and utter shiat. Hell, I'll take the animated series of any of those.

There was a lot of shiat in the first 2 seasons of TNG. But the second season had some great episodes too. Like Q Who and The Measure of a Man. I'm sure there are a few others. I think The Measure of a Man is f'ing brilliant.


The production rejig between season 2 and 3 of TNG, and the massive shift in quality, is a testament to the power of a higher collar and hiring a proper lighting director.

The three best enemies from all the different Star Trek incarnations.



"People blame the military for the wars we are asked to fight."



"How many lights are there?"



"So, Captain, how long shall we stare at each other across the Neutral Zone?"



Imagine any one of them as the commander of the "other ship" in the Voyager pilot instead of Chakotay. Bam! Voyager is suddenly not shiat!

If you didn't like anyrhing about the reboot, why would you care about the sequel to it? If it isn't real Trek, and just something using the names, why would you care?

Methinks the Simpsons' Comic Book Guy doth protest too much.

Why do something new and iconic when you can ruin something old and iconic?

I'm not clicking on a place with negative credibility. So I'm skeptical, to say the least.

I do think the JJ Abrams movie was perhaps the most FUN Star Trek movie.

FirstNationalBastard: However, things keep going forward. What a novel concept!

You're really going to mock time travel by holding up a show that entirely revolves around time travel?

Shostie: kmmontandon: Confabulat: On the bright side, they also are reporting Nimoy's coming back.

Prediction: Alpha Spock tells Beta Spock & nuKirk about Khan. They hurry out on a quick mission, blow the Botany Bay out of the sky without a word, then head back to Earth to get on with the main plot.

Oh, and there's this probe headed toward Earth that wants to talk to humpback whales. You guys should get on that.

Oh, and space hippies. Avoid them. No one comes out looking good in that episode.

If someone would like to find the code for Voyager 6, that would help.

Also, if someone would make sure to keep the Enterprise-C out of a temporal rift in 86 years, that would help too.

Confabulat: GAT_00: That actually got me to click a Breitbart link. Like all the others, I see no source, and so I will assume it was totally pulled out of someone's ass.

Here's the actual source link from Trekmovie.com

Make of it what you will.

Ugh. The suck potential just went through the roof.

I see deadmoran.com is getting really desperate for page clicks now.
