Chris: “So your version of Star Trek has Kirk?”

J.J. Abrams: “And toilets.”

Christ: “No, well I’ve moved on from toilet because I don’t think you put toilets in there.”

J.J. Abrams: “Well, you don’t make a big deal of them. You don’t highlight them.”

Chris: “There’s no dialogue where they go, Just one minute, I just need to go.”

J.J. Abrams: “…. It’s in the script that one of the characters is actually in the restroom because he’s afraid of flying… and he comes out of the restroom. But you don’t see it.”

Chris: “So he’s afraid of flying. And he’s in space.”

J.J. Abrams: “That’s the point of the scene.”

Oh dear.

TMP had no self parody in it?
What about Shater’s line :

Damnit Bones… I need you… BADLY…..

I mean I love that line, but really – it’s very funny.

#146 The Enterprise E is in it? I did not know this.

It’s because of the reboot. They got the letters messed up.
I heard there was A-F in this flick.
Anyhow, I am sure they’ll fix it all up in post.

The shirts were GREEN!

I enjoyed that post.

Upon a Wiki search, I found an interesting item that, as you mentioned, relates to Lost in Space. A movie that I think is mirror mirroring our production of interest.

Quote…
“…However, Jonathan Harris, who played Dr. Smith in the series, refused to make a cameo appearance in the motion picture version as the Global Sedition businessman who deals with Dr. Smith.”

Sound like another Big Head we know?
A few other simalarities…

The Time Travel plotline.

The launch of the Jupiter 2 in LIS sounds to me a bit like the “Enterprise built on the Ground!” controversy.

The inclusion of a fuly animated character. Arex?

But then, I did like LIS. If that movie had been made a few years earlier it would have easily made more cash (139 mil was not too bad, with Titanic at the B.O.) and it’s use of effects was ground breaking, or better than Trek’s. Featuring the first fully animated character years before Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. Yeah, the effect could have been better, but at least the concept was there. And I give them credit for writing a story that was not your typical time travel tale too. Too bad the planned sequel was shelved.

I think we will be pleasantly surprised with Trek XI. With Bob and Alex at the helm I think we may be seeing a once in a lifetime achievement.

One that this longtime Trek fan has been waiting for for some time.
