20: they should have cast Chris Pine in make-up to play The Shat. Would make me giggle.

I think they should recast the part of “William Shatner”

I’m a fan of both Star Wars and Star Trek, but don’t call me a “fanboy”- that really sounds gay!

I did criticize Phantom Menace, but I am certainly not a “fanboy.”

Welcome to The NCC Factor. Always nice to see somebody come out of Lurk mode and join the par-tay.

#16: I agree with your first two sentences, but the rest not really. Mind keeping politics out of here much?

Also, was “Inerection” an intentional misspelling or Freudian slip? Either way, I chuckled.

I believe #11 is saying, roughly, “I don’t understand why there is such rivalry between Trekkies and Starwoids.”

Man, I’m tired of fanboys crying about how much “Phantom Menace” “sucked”. Eight years and the same old tripe over and over. Christ, let it go! I’d still take TPM over Treks V, Generations, Inerection and Nemesis any day of the week.

Actually, TPM ( and the whole prequel trilogy) has been gaining a lot more respect in the last year and a half as the “fiction” of the story is matched by real life. A democratic society slowly subverted and destroyed by a power mad dictator who uses lies and manufactured wars to secure complete political power? Naw, that couldn’t happen in real life!

Best “fan” themed Movie out there has to be “Galaxy Quest” which I only caught the other night on t.v. here in the U.K.
This is an absolute corker of a Movie which should appeal to everyone here who loves Star Trek. It stars Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman, and is a very warm, funny, action-packed treat. It features fine performances and some amazingly good special effects and visuals, and I urge anyone here who hasn’t seen it yet to immediately go out and buy or rent this DVD now. If the upcoming Trek Movie is as satisfyingly entertaining as this, I will be very happy indeed.

Sadly, although authentic Star Wars paraphernalia appears throughout this film, CBS or Paramount (or whoever was in charge of Trek when this was shot) would not give up rights to Star Trek imagery (just as they would not for Free Enterprise), forcing the filmmakers to use some dodgy non-infringing “well you know what this is supposed to be” stuff while still calling it Star Trek. They should have gotten the rights to Galaxy Quest instead and then maybe my head wouldn’t hurt after looking at the trailer.
