Captain Abe sums it all up about the Trekdom stereotype:

“He doesnt deserve to sit on our precious ‘Captains Chair’.”

Our?

star trek is far more believeable than the awful science fiction hubbard wrote, and the ridiculous story he based the Co$ upon…

for anyone unfamiliar with the big fat global scam that is the Co$

Scott Bakula should have Archer cameo in the ST XI, absolutely. :)

If this film has Tom Cruise and not William Shatner, I will not go! LOL:)

There’s been mention of Captain April, which I would assume (if they are following canon so strictly), wouldn’t we have to see him? Also, Enterprise made it canon that Jonathan Archer attended the Enterprise’s unveiling right?

“Also remember that in a way the new trek movie may not be being made if it werent for Cruise. ”

Another reason to dislike Cruise. :)

maybe Cruise filmed a cameo as Captain April? (after all April was supposed to be the 1st captain of the Ent – before Pike)and we’re seeing the construction of the Ent in the teaser and the film looks like it may jump about in time periods

I think that Tom Cruise deserves a little respect as a professional actor, and also now, as the head of a studio.

Robert Redford and Meryl Streep felt comfortable not only working with him, but working FOR him.

Furthermore, Oliver Stone featured Tom in Born on the 4th of July, which brought important issues back to the forefront when our country was wrapped around a false patriotism.

To me, this demonstrates that he actually seeks out projects which, in my mind (I mean, in my political mind) embody many of the ideals which make Trek attractive to me.

I always imagined a new Star Trek with a new captain, crew and ship we had never met as a tentpole feature film – a feature film that was truly dramatic and interesting and high stakes. And the first person I thought would be a great captain was Tom Cruise.

He is sometimes a victim of the horrible press machine which dominates the Hollywood and political system. He he was hung out for jumping on Oprah’s sofa the same way that Howard Dean’s enthusiasm was manipulated by re-mixing the audio. That he is aware of all this will probably prevent him from being labeled a freak like Michael Jackson.

But this doesn’t mean he’s perfect,. Tom Cruise’s attack on Brooke Shields for using antidepressant medication was insensitive at best and facetious on examination. I can’t go as far as to say I hate his opinions, but the national media is not the place where they are best examined. I’d rather see him talk about it on Charlie Rose.

#26 I love it! Your words were truly fantastic. This is the reason that I cannot for the life of me understand why so many people die over which ‘fairy tale’ is correct.

Can’t we have our own fairy tales and not force our view on others?

Trek fans get along with BG fans don’t they?
