Star Trek

So who's seen this already in the Thursday night preview showings? I was tempted, but I'll be going this weekend. I'm very excited. I'm not a big fan of Star Trek, I watched on and off The Next Generation and Deep Space 9 back in the early 90s as a teen and was fascinated, but never seen the original series nor any of the movies or the newer series. I just started watching TNG again on DVD and it's really nostalgic but also very good and interesting. And all indication is that this new film will be huge.

And of course this only bodes well for the Dark Tower.

I just got back from seeing it. I loved it. Love

Pretty perfect writing, direction, acting, effects, score, everything.

**Sam** · 05-08-2009 08:56 PM

So Seymore, tell us how you really feel.

**candy** · 05-09-2009 03:50 AM

i watched this last night, and oh my god it was fantastic

the geek in me was in heaven due to old references but it also does not alienate new fans.

it does not dwell on technology -so any clashes with the original series are not glaringly obvious.

the actors that they chose were just brilliant.

its safe to say i came home last night a very happy bunny indeed

I have seen every single Star Trek episode there is out there, minus half of Voyager. Lost interest in the series at that time. However, I have seen every movie except the newest one. I guess that means you can't call me a Trekkie because it's not #1 on my list of things to get done

Anyway, probably see it Monday night. Let the crowd die down a bit.

**candy** · 05-09-2009 06:24 AM

let us know what you think when you have seen it, dying to discuss it with someone.

but will wait till more people have seen it then i am not putting spoilers all over

**sits patiently**

**Mordred Deschain** · 05-09-2009 06:26 AM

I was planning on it tomorrow, but I forgot it is Mother's Day. Hmmmm..maybe I am a Trekkie if I put it above Mother's Day.

OH...unless there's another thread, I have a question about Voyager. Did they ever make it home or did they end the series before?

**razz** · 05-09-2009 06:32 AM

I was supposed to go yesterday but something came up with a friend so he couldn't go.

**candy** · 05-09-2009 06:55 AM

to boldly go...the star trek discussion thread

**Nerak** · 05-09-2009 08:15 AM

OMG!!! The movie was sooo awsome!!

I loved loved loved the references to all the old characters! The new characters they picked were perfect! Everything about it was AWSOME!!!!!

**candy** · 05-09-2009 08:39 AM

hey sarajean, will you be merging this thread?

Nerkak - wasn't it just the best? sat there all the wa through with goosbumps (spoilt slightly by the snoring old fart behind me!!!)

i just thought the actors they got to play the parts where spot on, both in looks and mannerisms with one VERY notable exception and as soon as you watch the film you will know who i am talking about

I don't know who you're talking about.

But then again I'm only a little familiar with the original Star Trek.

I thought this movies was excellent, with the exception of

Spoiler:

But I thought it was an excellent movie. The special effects were awesome, not cheesy at all like a lot of new movies (coughHarryPottercough coughStarWarscough).

that was the one i was talking about, he just grated on me with the scottish accent that was there one minute and then gone the next, it got to a point where i did not want to see him on screen no more which is a shame as
a) love scotty
b) love simon pegg
just wish they had got a proper scottish chap in

and i loved loved loved scotty friend.

I honestly didn't mind Pegg as Scotty, but then I'm not a huge fan of Scotty anyway. I don't hate him or anything, i clearly just don't love him as much as you do, candy, lol. I also don't mind the fact that they didn't use a proper scottish chap, considering, well, James Doohan was american, anyway. But then again i wasn't being that observant with Pegg's accent slippage.

Yup. That's the look.

**sarajean** · 05-09-2009 10:35 AM

that picture is, like, two years old and was taken at work on a very frustrating day.

**mae** · 05-09-2009 01:02 PM
