CMWriter Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 QUOTE (hobo73 @ Jul 5 2011, 12:34 PM)I EFFIN' LOVE STAR TREK. Kirk was sexy hehe. 2 years ago i asked for nothing but Star Trek videos for xmas lol Every year my folks get me a Borders gift card so I can go and stock up on the latest Star Trek novels. And my friends always find Star Trek cards for my birthday. It's pretty amusing. But your statement begs the question: Who was sexier? Chris Pine 2 years ago or the Shat about 42 years ago? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Brent Spiner wants to be in it. I think he's a great actor and played his Trek roles fantastically, but he needs to stay out. I agree. No more cameos from any of the "elder" actors or characters. The new cast must be allowed to flourish on its own. The only way I could see Brent Spiner making an appearance would be as the grandfather or father of Noonian Soong, the scientist who created Data. In the series, Enterprise, Arik Soong (great-grandfather of Noonian Soong) was a scientist who tried to recommence the eugenics program of the 1990's, which, of course, had created Khan Noonien Singh and his fellow "supermen". I suppose it's possible, but I can't see Abrams giving much screen time to Spiner. A cameo perhaps, but not a major role.... Yeah, that'd be the most reasonable way to put Spiner in there. It'd still seem a bit forced though imho. I'm fine with him never returning to a ST film in any capacity. And I agree with having the series' actors stay out of it. Nimoy is enough. When it comes down to it I think the original series characters are the best bet money-wise. Fans of ANY of the series will definitely watch a film on the original characters. However, I'm not sure that fans of the original series will "definitely" watch a movie showcasing the Next Generation characters. Plus, I'd guess that the very casual ST fans are generally more familiar with Kirk & the gang than they are with Picard's crew. By the official timeline, I believe the Soong that appeared in Enterprise was Noonien Soong's grandfather (Noonien was 90+ in TNG, which took place about 70 years after TNG which was about 100 years after ENT). To have one generation of Soong on a vessel named Enterprise would be preposterous. People complained that there were too many coincidences in the new movie, what if we see another soong on an Enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arik Soong has been said to be the great-grandfather of Noonien, but that doesn't seem right. Even if we give a generous number of years per generation, it doesn't work out very well..... The Enterprise era was the 2150's, and Arik Soong was fairly middle-aged in those episodes. Therefore, he must have been born around 2100. Wouldn't that make him the great-great-grandfather of Noonien, who died around 2370? ~2100 - Great-great-grandfather Arik Soong is born ~2150 - Great-grandfather Soong is born ~2200 - Grandfather Soong is born ~2240 - Father Soong is born ~2280 - Noonien Soong is born ~2370 - Noonien Soong dies from attack by Lor Not that this all really matters.....I don't think the producers of Star Trek are losing any sleep.....

USB Connector Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Rush reference in Star Trek: Enterprise: In the episode "Cease Fire", the Vulcan high command border incursions on the planet which the episode centers around took place in 2112 (Archer even pronounces it twenty one twelve). Sounds like it was when the Vulcans came in and assumed control over the planet from the Andorians. Edited July 20, 2011 by USB Connector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it was when the Vulcans came in and assumed control over the planet from the Andorians. This is just now getting mentioned? I never bothered because I figured people on this thread knew. I figured it was on the first page, lol. That was a pretty good episode for second season, though. But frankly I think whenever you get Shran or Soval in the room it's gotta be pretty amazing. But both of them? Together? AWESOMENESS EXPLOSION. I go back and watch Kir'Shara (4x09) because I have a horrible fascination with the torture of Ambassador Soval. It's such a fantastic scene though.

KenJennings Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I just started watching Enterprise again, and my God, Scott Bakula's acting is just terrible. Totally uninspired, like he's reading from a cue card or prompter. He's like Shatner without the 'swagger' or attitude. Just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
