  2. http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news/article/15891.html I'd say it's pretty fair to say it's true tbh.

  4. whoops, my bad. /crawls back into hole
  5. Source Now this is something no one could have seen coming. A year ago, the Star Trek franchise was well and truly dead in space, with the most recent TV incarnation (Enterprise) cancelled and little real development happening on the films. The stars of the Next Generation had resigned themselves to the fact that no one seemed to want to watch another film with them in it and their leader - Patrick Stewart - is happier on stage or playing Professor X. But now comes word that current Paramount golden boy JJ Abrams, who is drawing geeky acclaim for M:I:III, has been handed the reigns of the company’s most reliable workhorse. Yes, the man who created Alias and Lost is getting to play in Gene Roddenberry’s universe, producing and directing the 11th movie in the billion-earning franchise. And he’s bringing some friends. Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, who worked on Alias and co-wrote M:I:III will pen the script, with Lost producers Bryan Burk and Damien Lindelof also involved. So what’s the concept? It’s early days, but the film will apparently focus on the formative years of William Shatner’s Captain Kirk and Leonard Nimoy’s Mr Spock. We’ll see how they first met at Starfleet Academy and follow their first training mission in space. But that timeframe means that we won’t be seeing Shatner and Nimoy strapping on corsets and wigs to play themselves as younger men - this will require a new cast. And it also shuts out the crews of the various Trek spin-offs. But if it means that the Enterprise lot don’t get to be in a movie, then we’re doing cartwheels down the street. Also not mentioned in Paramount’s release is Rick Berman, the man widely credited with helping to re-start Star Trek’s mass appeal and also loathed for driving it into the ground in search of the almighty fan dollar. Previous rumours had Berman assigning Erik Jendresen to pen a script based on the years before Kirk and Spock, but we can assume that idea is now flying out of the window at high warp. So, greatest Trek idea ever or disaster waiting to happen? This one’s gonna clog the Internet for decades…
  6. There is nothing going on. The only thing I've seen from the MPAA is the same press release that everyone else has seen, nothing more. Can you tell us when the torrent will be available again? I want to share the newest episode of Hyperdrive.
  7. Does anyone else get the impression that he was legally bound to say that? He doesn't make any mention anywhere as to why the torrents are gone unless I missed something. Heart out to you shad. If you want a lawyer to look over anything for you then drop me a mail. These things are often empty threats.
  8. A few episodes: Encounter at Farpoint, Arsenal of Freedom and Best of Both Worlds - Part II. Encounter being the main one where they separate at warp then buzz off to Farpoint in it while the other half goes off to meet Q.
  9. Was just watching an ep of TNG and it did the whole saucer separation thing (which I always thought was corney) but I thought for a second and realised: How come the saucer section can go to warp without a warp core? Are there two engine rooms? And the battle bridge. Did they just make rooms up to break the monotomy? I'm suprised theres any room left for the 1,014 strong crew :)
  10. They've got to try and sell themselves to the mass audience so what they fit into a 1 minute trailer is their own business. I'll definately be watching this!
  11. For what it's worth, I thought it was original, funny and had all round good characters unlike Trek which has a handful of decent characters and is the crowned king of plot re-hashing. Not that I dislike ST or anything, but Firfly was a breath of air after the rather stuffy vision of the future that Trek had moulded. The later episodes of Firefly really shine.
  12. It'll suck, all the other odd numbered movies did.
  13. I voted for The Doctor, but Phlox was easily the best character in Enterprise. McCoy was highly irritating, infact I'm absolutely positive Polaski was McCoy in a wig.
