I loved the original series FAR more than STNG. Reason is it didn't have episodes that contradicted previous ones.

Problem with this movie is it will have Kirk fighting the Romulans. If you recall the episode, "Balance of Power", :The U.S.S. Enterprise is able to pick up a visual from the Romulan bridge, which shows the previously unseen Romulans to look very much like Vulcans. This sparks an old prejudice in Lieutenant Andrew Stiles, whose family fought in the Romulan wars. He is instantly suspicious of Spock, whose physical characteristics are remarkably similar to the Romulans they are chasing.



That thought crossed my mind as well.

I am way to lazy to build anything to put movies on.  Took enough work to build this desk as it is, no need to spend more time on a new project yet. :D

The ORIGINAL sexy Vulcan

:p

And FarScape was the DEFINITION of good SciFi the first half of the decade. Do you think it's a COINCIDENCE SG-1 brought in Ben Browder and Claudia Black?

The cancelation of FarScape was a travesty. Not just that it HAPPENED, but HOW it happened.
:huh
IMO Kirstie Alley was perhaps the worst conceived and acted vulcan in the entire Star Trek universe.  Come on -- a vulcan that cries at the end of the show??  Give me a break.

Completely agree with you about Farscape, though.  I was glad they did the four hour movie to wrap it up, but it also made me very sad . . . you could see them trying to wedge 20 episodes into those 4 hours . . . some of it worked, some of it didn't.

You DO realize she's half Romulan, right? Even Spock's half human emotions got the better of him from time to time in TOS.

I enjoy watching Star Trek and feel I know enough about the entire series....but some of you are over the top GEEKS....lol.  I watch Enterprise for the hot chic...also watched Voyager for the hot Borg.  And at one time I thought Deana Troy was hot....then I though the dr. was hotter.  Red heads are nice. :noid

Missed that part.  When did they mention that in the movie?

It's not in the movie itself, but in the back-story used when they were developing and fleshing out the character.

I DO believe there was a scene that was cut from one of the three movies with Saavik which would have discussed it.

I don't like it already just from seeing the cast in the photos. Everyone is just too young looking. I don't see how it can be plausible to have a Captain that age. Not to mention all those pretty crew members.

But (sigh) all Hollywood movies these days are targetted at the teenage boy market and their fantasies. :rolleyes:

That's all fine and dandy, but if it didn't make it to the screen, then it didn't happen as far as the audience is concerned.

She was portrayed as a Vulcan.  As a Vulcan, she sucked.  End of story.  IMO and YMMV.

<<Edit>> I suppose I shouldn't say she sucked, because if she was following what the writers/directors wanted, she technically did nothing wrong.

The chick they got for the later movies was a much better portrayal IMO.

If it was used to make the movie it don't matter whether it was on screen or not.

And Robin Curtis was awful.
