I really hope that after this film is released, we will see at least one more Next Generation film. They were on TV for 7 seasons. They were a great cast---the chemistry was amazing between them. I think it sucks that bad writing may have condemned that cast to an early death in the film world. "Nemesis" was not a good send-off at all. Let's hope they someday soon give us another Next Generation film---this time produced by someone other than Berman, and with a script that wasn't pulled off of a Cracker Jack box.

Anyways, the only thing that bothers me is the whole 'appealing to non-fans' aspect of what he's been saying. Wasn't that kind of the problem with Nemesis and some of the more recent stuff. They should stop worrying about trying to convert non-fans and concentrate on making a great Star Trek movie for people who love Star Trek. Cuz first of all people that don't like Star Trek are not going to like Star Trek and could care less about the notion of a Star Trek movie being made at all. They don't care. And second, if they Star Trek fans don't like it (like Nemesis) then thats your whole fanbase. That being said though I'm still really excited and I think it's gonna be good. Also, I'm glad its not gonna be rehash cuz they did A LOT of rehash in the televisions shows. And ya, the guy who brought up the Phantom Menace remark.. Star Trek should not be compared to Star Wars first of all.. and second Phantom menace wasn't even the worst sw movie, attack of the clones was. But I think we all know which franchise is the better one and no comparisons are necessary of apt.

I make solid repurposed dining tables, coffee tables, consoles, buffets, bar tops, armoirs, benches, chairs, etc. (anything and everything which can be manufactured in hardwood) all from reclaimed solid South Pacific hardwoods and in Southern European style designs. It's great stuff, but there is very little in upholstered furniture pieces, and nothing at all in a "conventional" couch. We do sell and ship everywhere though. #224—I appreciate the sentiment of fraternity, but we are more of a specialty operation.

But I still don't understand how those engines really work. I thought the front of the nacelles collected or sucked in space hydrogen as a means of fueling. And how about the main deflector dish. Should'nt the dish glow all the time when at warp? The only time I have ever seen that happen is in the 2nd part of the Borg episode. Except of course the TMP Enterprise that dish new how to glow at least. Yep.

I thought we were seeing the "guts" of the engines, still under construction, and that caps would later be secured over these before the ship was launched. Perhaps I'm wrong about this, but did anyone else get a similar impression?

Yes, that's about right. But from those brief images of the new bridge (from which you admittedly cannot see a great deal), it appears that the interior has been changed a great deal to me. I never expected the color schemes from the 1960's to appear on JJ's Enterprise, so that is no surprise to me. As long as the Captain's chair is where it belongs, Spock's science station and Uhura's console are to his right, and the navigator and helm consoles are in front of him, I think I'll be okay. We have already heard that the doors will go "swoosh", so that's good news too. #219—-”…the argument here has always been about how far the changes should go.”
