New Trek Film - Page 2

Yeah I cringe when I see S1 repeats, S3 was great and S4 even better (its been a while, might re-watch them once I've finished next gen off)

It could have lasted 7 seasons easily.

I found Enterprise to be a bit... boring. S4 did get better and had some nice stories. Since DS9 Trek can't do character development. Voyager. Janeway and Tuvok were meant to be bestest friends, never felt that in the Kirk & Spock way. I need my characters to evolve and grow. Anyways I have doubts over this new film. I also find it funny that its Kirk days. JMS, B5 creator, wrote a long document to Paramount about how to save Star Trek. Basically he said start again. Throw out all the rules, start over. A JMS style Star Trek would have been incredible imho. However they didn't like his ideas. Yet now the film is going back to Kirk, sorta starting again. I know its not a reboot, but its sorta there. I think its very risky. They say the ship design is going to be almost the same. But its over 30 years later, and Enterprise looks more modern than the Enterprise... um.... I can imagine Sylar as Spock though. He does have that look, like he could be a young Spock. I thought MI3 was terrible though, so I have doubts. There was no real plot that I remember. I had no idea why the bad guy wanted the thing Cruise had. I fear for this new trek through the stars. I wish they'd let them do this: http://bztv.typepad.com/newsviews/fi...2004Reboot.pdf

Ooooh a star trek film I might actually admit to watching!

I don't really know much about the star trek series and films, but even with my limited knowledge the cast seems a little different - it might be quite fun!

I think running a few series based on a ship stuck in the alternate reality could have worked, keep it in the voyager/ds9 era to keep things looking similar. (The reality used in TOS, Enterprise and DS9, not so much the one used in Next gen as that was a timeloop that went wrong). Space for new character development and battles!

Therefore it's expected to be rubbish. Can't imagine Pegg in that role at all.

And what irony that Pegg's character Tim said this in Spaced:

Not sure I'd go as far as abortion, but it certainly broke the odd/even cycle. Here's hoping...

Sorry for being a n00b - but what's the odd/even number thing?!

Daz · 15-10-2007, 15:24

Even numbered Trek films are the good ones (Wrath of Kahn (2) and First Contact (8) being my personal favourites), the odd ones are widely reagrded to be the most pantsest.

The Search for Spock was crap imo

Feek · 15-10-2007, 15:25

The Search for Spock was just a filler really.
