I think Mr. Orci would reach out to the Enterprise fanbase very effectively if he referenced Trip being alive somehow and gave a creative explanation such as a Starfleet cover-up dealing with the Romulan War. It could be a two sentence line and he’d probably get many Enterprise fans flocking to the movie. Perhaps that is an exaggeration, but I know that would please the Enterprise fans immensely. Good movie= pleased fans. Good movie that fixes the worst blunder in Trek history=more pleased fans. More pleased fans hopefully=more tickets sold and more DVD sales.

Great interview. It laid to rest my (very few) doubts about the film.

Great interview Anthony. Orci definitely seems to fall in line with most of my preferences for Star Trek.

Just want to say that while I’m hoping the look of the show is updated, they shouldn’t change stuff for the sake of change itself. The TOS designs were pretty darned good to begin with. And just how different to people expect corridors, the circular bridge and swivel chairs to be? Jeffries designs are pretty sleek and simple with much room for modernization through better materials and electronics. I’d expect them to tweak the designs more than In a Mirror Darkly, though. As for the colour palate, between the “blue steel” of TMP and “action red” of TWOK, bright coloring seems to have won over many. I kind of liked TMP myself. As for “freshness” I’m much more concerned with what the story and plot are than superficial changes to consoles, phasers and tunics.

I really wish ther would be an edit option ;)

Another thing. If the plot rumours are true and the enemies are Romulan, I think it would be better for the enemies to be humans. Humans most fearsome enemy the human himself and not an alien…

Oops. I said “It’s not a battle for me. I like Star Trek but really like Star Trek.”

I meant, It’s not a battle for me. I love Star Wars, but I really really like Star Trek.

I know some here disagree with me, but that’s the great thing of opinions and the freedom of speech. But because I love Star wars and really like Star Trek does not mean that I am against them. It means I am for them. I just cut my eye teetch on making heros out of fictional characters like Han Solo more than Captain Kirk. I am just being honest.
