Star Trek (no not 2009 movie) - General

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;32878029]Oh man, these are hillarious! [/QUOTE] I knew those bastards in Starfleet were complete dicks.

Oh man, this is even better, Picard with Q powers.: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phjnH8MxGR4&NR=1[/media] [editline]20th October 2011[/editline] I gotta ask: Source of fleet video and fleet vs fleet battles?

Probably Deep Space Nine, I'm watching it now. [editline]20th October 2011[/editline] Definitely Deep Space Nine. Such epic battles, I'm watching the series as we speak.

Does anyone have a review of the new STO? All I know was the release looked shit and now people are raving about the updates. Is it like Star Trek: Legacy + Star Wars Galaxies?

If you're interested, I highly recommend the trial. Its going Free to Play soon, anyway, sadly.

[QUOTE=Chernzobog;32884884]Sadly?[/QUOTE] Generally speaking, F2P tends to be a death knell for MMOs.

Finishing the first season of Voyager today, and I found out that the Original Series is shown on a morning on CBS Action. It was a pretty cool episode where they found a planet where people had evolved just the same as on Earth, except Rome never fell so they still had an Emperor and gladiators.

Oh man, that ending :v: Everyone hating on Wesley. Also: "I was never a Star Trek fan, so I tried to create something that WOULD appeal to me". As in, create something that's not Star Trek? Really?

Kirk should be less of a douche and there shouldn't be a huge romance between Spock and Uhura.

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;32866021]the TNG movies were mostly shit but they had a few good moments [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M38niSUEWtY[/media] this makes no sense but it's still pretty cool[/QUOTE] I have a hard time deciding which movie is worse, Insurrection or Nemesis. But this Scene makes me smile for some reason, so I go with Nemesis. Plus the Audio Commentary with Marina Sirtis and Johnathan Frakes is nice, you can really tell they're good friends.

To be honest I don't understand why Kirk is seen as a hero character at all. I mean I understand why people like the other characters, but I honestly don't understand Kirk's character.

Well JJ Abrams did cover his ass by having an alternate timeline where everything in the 2009 movie happens. I don't know why you guys hate the 2009 movie. Maybe because it IS Star Wars :v:

Appeals to a larger audience and presents it as a different style.

I enjoyed STXI. It was Star Trek, but entertaining in movie form. Star Trek, as per its normal formula, works well as a TV serial, but as a movie? Not so much. I mean, Star Trek: TMP was...well, it was about 5 hours of the Enterprise moving against a starfield backdrop and some occasional dialogue. Wrath of Khan did it just perfectly, as did First Contact and, IMO, Insurrection.

It's always bugged me easily holographic characters could become sentient, and treats everyone treats them so casually. You'd think it would be hard to create programs with the capacity for sentience unintentionally. [QUOTE=WebbyKing;32909115]Appeals to a larger audience and presents it as a different style.[/QUOTE]Okay, but why use Star Trek? If you completely change the essence of the show, you might as well just make up your own franchise.

It's always bugged me that FTL travel would be only 200 years in the future, I mean if such a thing is possible than it would be at least 1000 years before we master it. There are also things like gravity in a space ship, force fields, shields and least believable of all are the aliens who like remarkably like humans, I mean I have to suspend my disbelief to watch the show, but I don't get bugged by it. The 2009 movie was a similar concept to 'Wrath of Khan' and that was one of the best 'Trek movies. Arachnidus is right, the normal formula only works for TV and even then there was 'Enterprise' which in my opinion wasn't that interesting because there was too much talking. It would funny to see who Abrams would cast for a TNG prequel.

I don't know much about ST but don't the Vulcans share their tech with us after the Cochran guy warps to the moon?

[QUOTE=WebbyKing;32938158]I don't know much about ST but don't the Vulcans share their tech with us after the Cochran guy warps to the moon?[/QUOTE] Don't think so, maybe a little. Just watched Enterprise and i did not get the impression that the Vulcans gave technology to the humans, rather the opposite, for example several times through the series the humans(especially Archer) blamed the Vulcan for withholding information and be in the way for the Warp 5 program.

God, that show was an abomination.
