Sci Fi dilema
« Reply #45 on: December 03, 2007, 03:06:46 AM »
The new Abrams trek looks seriously miscast...I can't decide whether its a spoof - or a serious remake...but it could end up being the O.C Trek on the starship Enterprise NCC-90210

eg:

Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz) : Scotty
Karl Urban (LOTR/The Chronicles of Riddick) : McCoy
Zachary Quinto (Heroes) : Spock
Bruce Greenwood (I Robot, The Core) : Christopher Pike
John Cho (American Pie/Harold and Kumar go to white castle) : Sulu
Eric Bana (Hulk/Munich) : Nero "The Villain"
Winona Ryder : Spocks mother
Chris Pine : Kirk

The whole continuity thing can easily be explained away:

A loose cannon of a star ship captain, maybe even "Captain (we come in peace, shoot to kill) Kirk" goes back in time and changes the Whole time line and obviously as you wouldn't notice its changed if you lived in the universe, it was never reported.

They always go on about time travel directives in TNG. ;)

problem solved

Yeah, the Winona Ryder one irks me as all the info I've seen describes her as being Vulcan. Y'know, never mind that Spock's mom (who Sarek was still with by the time of TOS) was human.

But the one that I don't like the most is Karl Urban as McCoy. Don't get me wrong he was a great Eomer in LotR. He's just WAY too young and WAY too buff for McCoy.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I'd like to see more data, too.

Unfortunately, I don't think he's part of the new movie.

wouldn't you as a civilization use any and all weapons as a last defense on your main world? wouldn't you have moon based, and other huge defensive emplacements in place in case of a threat?


If we deployed such weapons he would come back and destroy human kind, don't you remember?

Wesley Crusher is a dweeb.

That is all.

I have mixed feelings about TNG.  

Being a TOS fanatic, I immediately hated it.  Over time, they got a little better though.  At first they were extremely 2-dimensional, simplistic, perfect, demi-gods without doubts or flaws.  Yawn....

Later, the characters developed more complexity and depth.  They also figured out you can't have drama without conflict and it gets boring to watch them cruise around the galaxy and resolve their differences through negotiation all the time.  Sometimes you need to open up a can of whoooopasz!

I have developed a scientific method of determining if a rerun of TNG is going to be worth watching.  You simple have to see if Riker has a beard or not.  If Riker is beardless; don't bother.  If he is whiskered then you might have a chance at it being a decent epsiode.

(Note: spawning another thread on related subject)
