Official Trek 11 countdown/news thread

Yeah, I think they could get around the continuity thing, if they never learn they're Romulans. This movie is starting to sound better.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Remember in Enterprise they saw Romulans but they were wearing HELMETS so their ears weren't seen! GENIUS, BIG BRAGA, GENIUS.

 

[The Question]

You took the words right out of my mouth

ew, and they're all slobbery

 

[CaptainWacky]

I hope there's some REMAN SLAVES rowing the pirate ship.

 

[The Question]

No.

 

[CaptainWacky]

 

[whisky]

I dont think this is cannon either

 

[The Question]

Star Trek XI: To Boldly Glom Onto A Brand Name Without Any Regard For Its Established Market

 

[CaptainWacky]

That was Enterprise.

 

[The Question]

Yeah, think what we're in for here is Enterprise: The Motion Picture

 

[CaptainWacky]

Well, no one who was creatively involved in Enterprise is involved in this and there's an entirely different cast and balnd Romulans.

 

[The Question]

I wouldn't say anyone involved with Enterprise was "creatively" involved -- I just don't think it's right to sully the word 'creatively' that way.

Still, the spirit on the boards seems to be the same -- the production team is going to fuck with TOS, and all the little fuckin' teeny-boppers who grew up on Voyager think that's just swell.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I think there's a chance it could be a good movie, that's all.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I'm feeling less hostile towards it now. Perhaps I won't hate it. I hope not.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Especially if there's tribbles in it.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I think John Eaves (who designed the overly advanced looking Romulan ships in Enterprise) is involved in this movie, actually. He has a habit of making everything too pointy.

 

[The Tomtrek]

Aye he is, but he's been involved with Star Trek since Deep Space Nine, and also designed the Enterprise E.

 

[Gonad]

I don't care what they do with Star Trek continuity, I just hope that it is a good movie movie.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Aye he is, but he's been involved with Star Trek since Deep Space Nine, and also designed the Enterprise E.

Yeah, on DS9 I think he designed the Dominion warship (pointy) and although I like the Ent-E, it's also a bit too elongated, with its pointy nacelles. I much prefer Andrew Probert (he's a bit wacky sometimes) and Rick Sternbach (dull perhaps, but believable).

 

[whisky]

Rick got screwed over, 20 years of loyal model building tossed aside with the move to CGI
