eeeeeeek No not the earwiggy in the ear.
:(
 
I just wish that if they were going to reboot Star Trek they would do it with the actual original crew from the pilot. They had put a much stronger and more interesting crew together in the pilot and Cptn Pike, though we saw very little of him, was obviously a better captain than Kirk.
 
humm

The Eugenics Wars (or the Great Wars) were a series of conflicts fought on Earth in the mid-1990s. The result of a scientific attempt to improve the Human race through selective breeding and genetic engineering, the wars devastated parts of Earth, by some estimates officially causing some 30 million deaths, and nearly plunging the planet into a new Dark Age.

reboot needed?
IIRC they did a couple of spin-off novels that reworked the Eugenics Wars as a "secret war" played out over the course of the real conflicts of the 1990s. Having just watched Space Seed and Wrath of KHAAAAAAAAN, it's pretty obviously a clunky attempt to retcon the old episodes. Not having read them, I'm not sure how well the attempt worked...
 
i quite like their uniforms i think they are quite nice but arent they made of velour or something? Dont you get static shocks in space?? Or sweaty pits:hmm:

Can we have some lovely pictures of Zachery Quinto and his foxy eyebrows? :)

Oh and what did the guns look like i remember the communicator thingies that looked like they were made out of sweetboxes.
 
Saw an interview with the writers of the new film - apparently they're thinking of bringing KHAAAAAAAAAAAN back, and getting Javier Bardem to play him. :cool:

Oh man that would be great! If they did it as a the history between him and Kirk and the events leading up to his enforced exile even better! :D

I'm not sure what you mean by "history". All that happened between Kirk and Khan was in "Space Seed". After that he didn't see him again until "TWOK". How they'd work him back in I don't know. :hmm:
 
Going to see this next week, when I'm on holiday. I've been a Trekkie since it was first shown on the Beeb, and, to put it mildly, I hae me doots, but if Abrams does pull it off, I'll be cheering from the rafters. I'd love a reboot to work, nothing has ever matched original Trek, and just as we've accepted different actors playing Sherlock Holmes or Superman over the years, I'm not opposed to the concept of a different Kirk/Spock per se. I just want it to be right.

Yeah but Sherlock Holmes and Superman were already established characters before anyone played them, and no one played them for as long as Shatner and Nemoy played their characters. They played them for so long, and basically created them so that Kirk IS Shatner and Spock IS Nemoy.

Yeah, but this new film looks tons better than the original Trek, which was really quite dull.
 
Saw it last night. Top marks. There is tons in there for the Sci FI nerd and Trek fans. It has all the important stuff, loads of phasers, weird aliens, monsters, exploding spaceships, mad special effects... the works. :D
 
Holy shit this film kicks ass. I was doubtful for the first 20 minutes or so (the product placement for Nokia was a low point), but it was fab. It's been a while since Star Trek was actually exciting.
 
Definite contender for best science fantasy/space opera film ever, even gives the old star wars films a good seeing to.

But the Trek Purists will despise it, mereckons.
