I just believe the movie could have been made for both fans and none fans alike, without making a reboot. This way everybody would have been satisfied. Unfortunatly!

I’m always amazed at how passionate people can be (myself included). The reason there wasn’t the huge debates about canon vs. non-canon when TMP came out, aside from the fact that there was no internet, and aside from the fact that they adressed it in the movie itself, was because there wasn’t the canon the way we have it now. There was 3 seasons of a TV show that was remarkably inconsistent within itself. Now we have 40 years of continuity that has been maintained (in most cases, though I still can’t figure out what happened with Chief O’Brien’s rank through the years).

The problem now, as I see it, is different from 1979. In TMP, they weren’t completely reinventing the whole universe. The movie franchise showed the same characters as they evolved, and were played by the same actors, and produced by the same people.

But this new movie is going back to the beginning and starting from scratch. After watching the trailers, all I could think of was “Lost in Space”. None of the major players in the franchise since the beginning of TNG are involved, and the trailers I saw seem to show a standard big-budget blockbuster movie, at the expense of what Trek is supposed to be (apologies to Brent Spiner). Obviously I havent’ seen the film yet, but it seems to me that Roddenberry’s vision of the future isn’t part of it.

I do plan on seeing it, but I can’t say I have high expectations.

107 – Did you ever the “AitF” episode where Edith was going through menopause and she shouted at Archie to “stifle!”

It was hilarious and the look on Archie’s face priceless.

Oops. Better get back to “Star Trek.”

I hope the new movie will be good. But I gotta admit I’m going to have a tough time seeing new actors in these roles, as TOS was always my favorite TV show from its original NBC days on.

There, that’s my “profound” comment for the day.

How come one of the first guys to comment in these stories always whines about not seeing enough photos? It’s like the guys who desperately need to see more photos stalks this site, and as soon as a story is posted, they strike! It’s like they’ve needed a new story to repeat a tiresome mantra.

Anyway, I’ve had concerns about Quinto, but I suppose if he’s doing a good enough job to get that kind of praise from Nimoy, I should just shut up.

I’m still a little confused about these 2 magazines – I have seen both the UK version and the US version (replaces the Communicator) on the newstand at the same time , and they both seem different .
Regarding content quality , I give both these mags the thumbs up ! Lots of interesting articles and content !
The only real competitor is Trek Movie , and that’s because it’s online , which by course includes many contributors , and the open feedback which is always interesting !

106 “Plus, he would have dismissed all canonites as dingbats and meatheads. I’m not sayin’ I would. But you know that lovable ol’ bigot.”

They’d be told to “stifle.” “Dummy up, you.”

You got me with the hem gag.
