That said however. I will be seeing any Star Trek movie they come up with in theaters. Even if they did the easter bunny takes over the enterprise.

And a happy 4th to our terriffic neighbours to the south! Live long, etc. :D

I think an episodic treatment of the motion picture series that is to come, as though it were a big screen enactment of a TV series premise, wouldn’t be the best for the franchise.

I think it would be interesting to see the next 3 movies thought of as one big movie, like Lord of the Rings, or Star Wars, so that we are left hanging at the end and waiting for the sequel to resolve some issues begun in the previous film.

And I would hazard a guess that one of the reasons why Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter were all so successful was because those stories explored timeless mythology. I think that kind of thing works very well in cinema, and it would be interesting to see that explored for the film series instead of doing 2 hour stand alone episodes every two years.

I for one understand his sadness. It made me sad too.

Yes sir, it does. Our little colonial-era village here in Chester County will address the assembled crowds for its annual reading of the Declaration of Independence. Many good men died here during the “Paoli Massacre”. To live, they need only have declared loyalty to the King. They did not and were killed where they stood.

As a native Philadelphian, I grew up surrounded by equally sanctified land including Valley Forge and its great suffering and transformation. The character “forged” by Washington, von Steuben, Lafayette and their men is clearly the character of the fictional crew of the USS Enterprise. Consciously or no there are great parallels to Washington’s determination, his great desire for peace, reluctance to fight, firm resolve in the face of failure, clever genius and sheer intestinal fortitude.

Washington and his men are heroes for all ages and all peoples that love Liberty.

Sincerely,
C.S. Lewis

And this guy is such a versitile actor! I mean, like any good actor he looks completely differ – oh wait, he looks exactly the same as he did in the movie they called “Star Trek” for some reason. Pretty Boy’s too worried about his “look” to actually become different characters – you know, like actors are usually supposed to do.

Let mine be the first vote to discontinue this pointless and foolish “Pine Watch” column on TrekMovie.com. Who’s with me?

I was at the Just For Laughs Shatner show when he did that sketch.. it’s a take off of the Molson Canadian beer commercial ” I Am Canadian”. You didn’t see in the clip, but Bill got a standing ovation. Thanks, trekmovie, for running that clip!
