It's a pre-Kirk prequel, involving a war with the Romulans.

Keep flogging that horse, Berman.

2. OK....

I'm as big a trekker as they come, but fer Pete's sake GIVE IT UP, Berman! It's time to stop; actually it is past time to stop. Before releasing Nemesis was a better time.

Sheesh!

3. Here's a question for the Trek fans.

What does TPTB do whenever a Trek series is in trouble?

That's right--bring in old characters.

The rumor mill is buzzing that the studio is trying to get Shatner to appear, but it's looking like Brent will be appearing as an ancestor of Data's creator (I forget his name) instead.

Yawn. Berman, you got any new tricks in that bag of yours? Oh, I'm sorry. We all know it's empty.

Oh man, I can't believe what a nerd I am that I type the name of Data and Lor's Dad...

4. Sounds like a winner!

:eyes:

Berman can barely get people to go see Trek movies with characters they already know. How could he think that people will pay $7 to see a movie about people no one gives a damned about.

There is a movie somewhere with characters from DS9, Voyager, and STTNG. A good movie, written by someone fresh. Paging Alfonso Cuaron. :)

6. How uninteresting

I love trek but I didn't bother to see the last trek movie. I may rent it on video one of these days. The last one I saw was boring. They have truly gone downhill.

7. what in the world

is this guys obsession with prequels???????

8. Blah

Nemesis wasn't terrible, but it really was a bomb at the box office. They were so dumb they released the thing a week before LOTR:The Two Towers came out. I think there were some other big movies at that time as well.

I think Patrick Stewart said, that he thinks it's over for that crew and that wouldn't be a bad idea. Granted, this next film may be another crew but who really cares? No one really cared about the others after TNG. Voyager never really did it for me, though I guess some others liked it. DS-9 was supposed to be good, but I never watched that series, same with the new series Enterprise.

9. Here's why it doesn't make sense. /geek on!

Wasn't there an episode in the original Trek where the Romulans first appeared? They treated it like it was the first time humans had ever seen that particular race.

A different prequel subject would be better. Maybe the first Klingon contact, before they had head-ridges and just looked "swarthy".

10. Balance of Terror

only there was a war with the Romulans before that episode, but the ships didn't have video screens so no one had "seen" a Romulan, but they'd fought them.

[Blue-Jay]

11. Ah. Makes sense.

You are officially geekier than me, Biggie.

Now I remember the line saying "We are back" or something to that effect.

12. AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Dead Jim!!!!

Will someone please tell Berman that the Fat Lady has sung and the horse is dead?

I gave up on Enterprise after they introduced ridge-headed Klingons.
Continuity? We don't need no Stinkin' continuity!

Bleah...Paramount must need a tax shelter...

Bitter much? Not me!

[Endangered Specie]

13. There is no lack of continuity having ridged head klingons...

The official "canon" explination is something 'happened' to klingons of the 23rd century TOS time period that altered them, but klingons refuse to talk about it.

14. Human diseases spread like wildfire throughout the Klingon empire...

The first successful Klingon response to the human plagues was to incorporate human genes into those Klingons who would encounter humans. These genetically modified Klingons are the ones we see in TOS. Every Klingon who comes into contact with human pathogens and survives probably has at least one of these genetically modified ancestors, so of course the Klingons refuse to talk about it.

By the time of TNG, the only Klingons "uncontaminated" by human DNA live on remote outposts fiercely protected from any human pathogens.

:evilgrin:

(Sorry, I can't help myself. I have friends who wrote a lot of the early Star Trek porn. Maybe they still do, but they don't like to talk about it, not with me anyways...)

15. What they should have done with Enterprise

in the first place! Enterprise leading up tot he Romulan wars and the founding of the federation would have been a hell of a lot more interesting than that Temporal Cold War crap.

But given the B&B are involved, I'm sure they'll find a way to fuck it up.
