Marvelous, thanks, Hayleigh.

To which the question has to be asked, rather than go on a killing spree a few hundred years ago, why not just pop back to last Thursday week and save Romulus?!

He couldn't control when he went back too. Wasn't the whole time travel thing a side effect of red matter black holes? Plus he was working class so obviously dumb and brutish.

I totally loved it.

And I fancy Spock.

Hooray!

As do I. And yet I don't really fancy Quinto. Fancy that.

I've seen it three effing times now and it just keeps getting better.




Also, Pike's line points out that that guy was the Enterprise's chief engineer. Handy if gruesome way of getting him out of the way so they need a new one once Scotty turns up, I thought.

Yep.

I really do need to try and catch the film this week.

I fancy Spock but also Quinto, he has big eyebrows, nom!

I was very impressed by his eyebrows recently.

Hmmm, maybe the Spock love is growing into general love.

Haha, I didn't hear that bit, all I remember is him being called Olsen or something similar.

Saw it on Monday. Loved it.

Ugly feminist Trekkie didn't like it.

How do you know she is ugly?

I don't know about ugly, but I think she is reading into it a bit much, silly feminist

She's a feminist, isn't she?

She's not a feminist. She's just someone with a steakhouse-style chip on her shoulder. One with waaaaaaaay too much free time on her hands.

And she's wrong, in any case. Uhura was pretty much the strongest crew member on that bridge.

The article did make me think about something. Had Spock and Uhura already have a relationship before they set out on the Enterprise? Is that the reason Spock said he didn't want to appear to pick her out of favouritism? Because that's what I had thought.

I also used the term feminist because it's become a word that has lost a lot of meaning to the point of becoming ludicrous and is easy to make fun of. But I am glad that people are giving me attention.

I'm a feminist, but I can't stand Feminist Criticism. It's nearly all utter bollocks.

If the forum had a Facebok-esque 'like' utility, this would merit one.

I think she's slightly romanticised Uhura's character in the TV series too.



Also



Yes, obviously. She's totally missed the point and twisted things to fit her interpretation, like nearly all Feminist criticism. This isn't limited to Feminist theory, I dislike most schools of criticism. Marxist Crit is equally tenuous. I'm only really interested in Authorship.

She isn't a very good one.



Very much so. It's all very sophomore.

I am a feminist too and I'm not ugly. I'm lovely.

Isn't proclaiming to be a feminist a bit pointless, kind of like proclaiming to not be a murderer, it's just something you should be anyway, especially if you're a woman. It seems like a silly badge at times. Or am I just so enlightened that I miss how necessary it be?

One day it won't be necessary, but until then unfortunately it is.

As for proclaiming to be a feminist, yes it should go without saying, but for some young women it's still a dirty word. Anyone who thinks men and women should have equal rights is a feminist, and you'd hope that would be pretty much everyone.

This is what a feminist looks like.

Do you mean you can't stand the critism of Feminists or you can't stand Jo Brand esque man hating rants?

Saw The Trek last night. Spock, Kirk and Bones were great. Peggster was funny but really could have worked on the character a bit more. If Chekov was obsessed by ships would he have "Wessel mania"?

tee hee http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LAA9SK2sM4...ature=rec-HM-r2

Wahey!

big LOL

Fixed?

Roddenberry knew you'd fancy Spock, ladies

The Dodge Brothers pay tribute to Gene Roddenberry

Some good fan made time-line mash-ups, (and a couple of nerdy bad ones as well) following in the wake of the recent film.

The first one takes a while to get going, but it's pretty funny come the end!

Titan will be publishing an Art of book alongside the DVD release. Lots of art and photos and stuff that was kept under wraps pre-release, with an intro from JJ Abrams. Apparently, he saw our Watchmen companions and loved them so much he wanted a ST one for posterity (I don't know how much truth's in that, but it's a nice story).

Cheers for that, I'll have to take a look when it hits the shelves.

Oooh, I'll be getting me one of those.

I decided the other day that this film is actually quite bad.

Well, bad as a Star Trek film. I guess it works as a summer blockbuster for the kids but I think it's a shame that the franchise has been reduced to shooty spaceships, fisticuffs and nothing else.

Even Nemesis - as shit as it was - had some Star Trek ideas in it.

But it had Time Travel, black holes and Spock being emotionally compromised

Yeah, I'd seen that before. I hate how they used a Star Trek VI clip completely out of context >: (

Star Trek Retro Propaganda Poster Set

Pretty cool.

WANT!

Can't find the correct thread, but someone ages ago was asking what the music from the (Abrams) Star Trek trailer was.

In case you still don't know, it's these guys: http://www.twostepsfromhell.com/index-home.php who write movie trailer music!

I can't decide whether its cynical or inspired, but either way the music sounds just like trailer music and the productions are huge. Interesting!

Star Trek 2 Release Pushed Back.

No new release date yet, they are still "perfecting" the script.

That's never a good sign . . .

It's better than them saying "Oh, the script's not ready, but we're going to start shooting right now to meet our June release date", though. I think it's a reason to be cautiously optimistic that they are taking their time over it than just trying to meet a too-short deadline.

I agree it's better to get the script right than start shooting whilst they are still writing, but they have been working on this script for quite a long time already.

This extra delay kind of implies they are having problems.

From what I've read - and this is largely conjecture - they haven't been able to write a script because Abrams wasn't prepared to commit to direct until he had finished with Super 8, Orci and Kurtzman have been busy with Fringe, and Lindelof was working on the last season of Lost, then went straight onto Prometheus, so it's not so much that they have been writing it for a long time and getting nowhere, so much as they have not been writing it for a long time and are now ready to start.

J.J. Abrams finally signs on to direct Star Trek sequel

More of a formality than anything since everyone expected that he would direct anyway, but it signals that they are finally moving ahead on it.

Filming starts next week on the second film, and it's just been announced that Noel Clarke has joined the cast.

Hope he's not wearing a red shirt!

And one Mr Cumberbatch is playing the villian!

http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2012-01-05/...ar-trek-villain

He's getting about a bit.

Soon to be appearing in YOUR dreams. Alas, but not our pants.

He is taking over. Bless him - can't say I blame him for striking when the iron is hot. He'll be doing his Rickman impression on Craig Ferguson in a matter of weeks. Unless it has happened already.

The polar opposite to delightful bumbling Cumblepatch is Noel Fucking Clarke. Smug, self-absorbed, no sense of humour and a mediocre talent. My only hope he is only in it for 5 minutes. I would gladly spit in his coffee. Or maybe do a small poo.

Apparently Alice 'Big Tits' Eve is in it too. Something for the hetero males.

They should cast James McAvoy and make it a Starter for 10 reunion!

I wonder who the villain is going to be? (assuming they are mining existing Trek mythology for the bad guy in this one).

Rumours have been abound for a while that the villain is supposed to be Khan, which would make Cumberbatch an unexpected choice for the role.

I don't really know - or care - what Noel Clarke is like in real life, but he was pretty good as Mickey Smith in Doctor Who, so I'm not unhappy to see him in this.

I hated him an' all.
