Comments on: Bana Talks A Little About Trek http://trekmovie.com/2008/02/04/bana-talks-a-little-about-trek/ the source for Star Trek news and information Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:49:45 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: TJ Trek http://trekmovie.com/2008/02/04/bana-talks-a-little-about-trek/comment-page-2/#comment-438144 TJ Trek Wed, 06 Feb 2008 07:28:47 +0000 http://trekmovie.com/2008/02/04/bana-talks-a-little-about-trek/#comment-438144 is it just be or does any one else here laught at the word twok. sound like a Vulcan surname, rather then the initals for one of the best star trek movies. ("Mr Twok, are you reading any life signs down on the planet") But as for Bana and his part. I agree that there needs to be considerably more time spent on the Enterprise crew. TWOK did this very nicely. although Montalban didn't have a whole lot of screen time, his weight was being thrown all over the picture. Kirk talks about him, Carol Marcus talks bout him, Spock talks about him, Checkov talks about him, "He's going to blow you to bits". And get this, Khan and Kirk (with there K alike names) never come face to face. Yet you have the best hero villian pair in the history of star trek. becuase in the end it really isn't about the villian. That is what made TWOK so great. Nemesis fell short in that it was about The villian and facing the villian. TWOK is basicly about Kirk getting through a midlife crises. That's it. There just happens to be a bad guy, some space battles, a wierd science experament, a son, and the death of a best friend, in the middle of it all. It is all just vehicles that help drive kirk out of his mid life crises. That's why TWOK was so great. It was about a very human experiance of aging, pure and simple. is it just be or does any one else here laught at the word twok. sound like a Vulcan surname, rather then the initals for one of the best star trek movies. (”Mr Twok, are you reading any life signs down on the planet”)

Captain Pike had "Number One", I'd like to know who is gonna play her. *Go raibh mile maith agat.

I really didn't enjoy watching that, and I would find it difficult to try to sit through it again, much less multiple viewings. So I certainly hope our new ST movie avoids any unnecessary things like that, so that I can enjoy watching it more than once.

It would have been fun to see Kirk once again subdue the physically superior being with a flimsy plastic tube. It’s too bad Kirk and Khan didn’t get to fight it out again.

You cannot write a script that gives a character depth. Star Trek (and all tv/cinema) is visual. Who cares if Nero, Uhura, Chekov, etc. lack a lot of screen time? If the acting is good, then the characters will be memorable. The best characters are written in a simple, honest manner. You cannot write a script that gives a character depth.

And I know my opinion of those two is way against the grain but I am used to being that. I’m just not a fan of reboots, that’s why I like that this won’t really be one.

It's over, baby. Eric Bana - great casting is it too much to hope that they don’t stick Bana in lame-forehead, bad-caesar-wig TNG romulan makeup.
