Did that movie really come out in 1991? And now it’s 2008???

Wow. Where does all the time go?

This is Not BSG its Star Trek. I and many fans expected 23rd Century tech, not toggle switches, phones hanging on the walls, references to tail pipes, and equipment that does not belong in Star Treks timeline. Nick Meyer might want to ground the story is some kind of reality but for an established series like Star Trek the direction he chose was ridiculous. This starship was suppose to be state of the art not some ready for the bone yard relic or a hijacked museum display.Production values could have been much higher. The film still worked but the errors were far from unnoticeable.

#137. Who’s askin for a 50 cent word? how about NOT NOT NOT using the same 50 cent word for every single description. Brilliant. Brilliantly. Just Brilliant. Classic. Say it 50 times and see how annoying it is and then imagine reading it and hearing it by every single person who ever described anything in the movies for the last 5 years. A plain ol’ 5 cent word will do. I mean, they only charge a penny for your thoughts, this guy’s thoughts are worthless! So choosing a 5 cent word? Priceless. if you don’t wanna use a 50 cent word or even a 5 cent word, go to priceline.com. I’m sure Shat’ll cut you a deal. Or even Geico. I hear they save you money, too.

The mash-up preview was so wonderfully done. As for the fllm, there were some very enjoyable moments in this film, but still uneven…

I’d forgotten about that Teaser Trailer! I remember now it giving me chills up my spine in the theater. Thanks for the replay Anthony.

NO QUETSION.

THE BEST MOVIE BY FAR.

NOT EVEN KHAN TOUCHES THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY.

(I get bored watching Khan. After the awesome Kirk reveal in the Kobayashi Maru sim (one of the best moments in Trek history), it’s a plodding, if continuous, film. Meyer upped his game big time for TUC.)

I love the deleted scene snipet at the 1:01 mark on the first trailer. I’ve always been disappointed that the DVDs did not make more use of deleted scenes. I like to be teased!

The “teaser” trailer for VI was majestic and still gives me a chill whenever I see it. I better not watch it before the new movie comes out, or I’ll get a shiver up my spine when I see some interloper playing Kirk & Spock!

I love that teaser trailer. I could watch it all day long.

I just realized that the first few clips are shown on the saucer too. You can see the hull plate seperations, a cargo hatch, a phaser bank, & finally the ship’s name. I thought the ship was just in the final few clips, but I see the curved hull lines clearly now.

See, this is one of the things I love about Trek. No matter how many times you watch it, there’s always something new to glean. Amazing!!!

#139—”How could have Valeris quote Kirk saying “Let them die” when it was a high-level briefing in the beginning of the movie that didn’t include her?”

One of the people at that “high level briefing” was also a co-conspirator.

“Couldn’t they have had Klingons come aboard the Enterprise to do investigations?”

Yes, I think a joint-investigation would have been more prudent, given the diplomatic reprecussions.

“Doesn’t shooting a torpedo out of a chamber leave some sort of residue like a gun?”

You would think so.

“With all the security footage that the Enterprise records (as they did with Spock’s death), couldn’t they make more effort to see who transported and who fired?”

The “flight recorder visuals” we see in TSFS are from cameras in the engine room. I suppose they could only be there for specific security around the warp engines, etc., and not in the transporter room (at least prior to that incident!). I agree though.

“Did they really have to rush off and throw them into a high-security prison planet?”

Quick summary justice for Kirk was a goal of the co-conspirators.

And to quote Sarek—-”Klingon justice is a unique point of view…”
