Interesting, I wonder if it'll stick...

lol, not exactly too revealing of anything.

Well being as the only thing on the movie currently done is "Kirk and Spock in the academy days" the poster I guess, fits... (Though if thier students, the colors are wrong)

Founder · **Sun Jul 23, 2006 11:12 am**

Oh no....

This sucks. That looks like a TOS symbol. Great....

Lord Borg · **Sun Jul 23, 2006 11:18 am**

Yeah... looks like the basic Idea is set in stone, the real plot we still might not know they DO tend to change,... but still...

Founder · **Sun Jul 23, 2006 11:30 am**

So much for a DS9 movie. Back to the craptastic days of Kirk. Only this time, we wont be getting Shatner.

*pounds the final nail into the trek coffin*

R.I.P.

Preeeeeety much. I am wondering what's wrong with them. Kirk and spock in the academy, and yet, the poster contains the Enterprise Delta Logo, and starfleet division colors (Wrong one for the Academy)

Founder · **Sun Jul 23, 2006 11:36 am**

Hmm not familiar with all that. Maybe it isn't the Academy or it will only have flashbacks to the academy. The rest is during the part you're talking about.

Lord Borg · **Sun Jul 23, 2006 11:41 am**

Maybe...

This totally sucks. Whoever's idea this was, needs to be shot and buried. They're getting EXTREMELY retarded with this now! I mean, it doesn't really bother MUCH that they're not continuing on after the "Nemesis" timeline, but what bothers me is that they're going to the Academy days of two loved characters...It's stupid...

Because, we all know how funny Kirk talked on the show, right? (This is the actor's side of things I'm looking at now...) I believe, that as an actor, Shatner made Kirk talk like that for a REASON! That Kirk for some reason or another, talked like that...

But instead, we're now going to get some stupid retarded young idiot that's not going to give a whoopin-hollar about that. He's just gonna do it because "That's what I remember William Shatner doing on the show!" Therefore getting rid of the entire purpose that Shatner had for allowing his character to talk like that...

I dunno, but it's just stupid...from an actors point of view, it's stupid to go into the younger days of two already WELL established characters...

Now that I'm off my high-horse...LOL

Founder · **Mon Jul 24, 2006 12:35 am**

I agree with you completely Voyager2004(we've been doing that a lot lately, what the hell is going on!?

)

They're going back to Kirk and Spock days in a weak attempt to gain the older fans back. They know TOS is probably the most popular. The problem is, these idiots don't get it Kirk and Spock are nothing without Shatner and Nimoy...

Voyager2004 · **Mon Jul 24, 2006 12:45 am**

Ya, we have been agreeing alot, lately...lol...

Ya, they're nothing without the originals...it just totally sucks...now what I just described above is from my POV as an ACTOR, not my POV as a TREKKIE...lol...

I still don't want a movie that is "pre-Nemesis," but I am open to that possibilitie with something like the Eugenics War, or the Romulan War...something that we know happened, but haven't seen. That's my POV as a Trekkie...at least part of it...

Republican_Man · **Mon Jul 24, 2006 12:54 am**

I don't like the idea of a younger Kirk and Spock, not one bit, especially considering how wrong it will be...
I'll still see it, but yeah. Not too happy.

Voyager2004 · **Mon Jul 24, 2006 12:55 am**

Oh, I'll definitely see it as well, just because it's Trek...but I agree...I am not, and will remain unhappy through the completion of this unfortunate event...

Republican_Man · **Mon Jul 24, 2006 12:58 am**

The good thing is, though, the director-producer guy is supposedly a big Trek fan, so maybe he'll do it right.

Voyager2004 · **Mon Jul 24, 2006 1:03 am**

But as Founder said, "He didn't get much into anything after TOS..." So he can't be that big of a Trek Fan...IMO...

IntrepidIsMe · **Mon Jul 24, 2006 1:20 am**

I don't really care either way with this. It seems a little strange based on ENT failure to go about it this way. However, TMP is still the highest selling Trek movie, so it makes sense as far as that goes. I'm sure that most Trek fans will be seeing this, no matter what.

I would give anything to know what's going on inside the producers/directors head.

"Hey, look what happened the last time we did a prequel! It failed! Miserably! So what should we do next? How about another prequel! It's BRILLIANT!"

Someone needs to start a lengthy petition that will actually get to Paramount. Then maybe they'll do the right thing and make a DS9 movie, or something like that.

TrekkieMage · **Wed Jul 26, 2006 11:11 pm**

The question is - how would we actually go about doing that? There are two options: online petition and a physical paper petition.

Problem with online one: people don't like putting personal info online, it's easy to add fake signatures, and people who sign it don't take is seriously (adding mock signatures and stuff)

Problem with real one: How do fans get to it? People online don't want anyone knowing their address for mailings.

The best solution might be conventions, have a petition there and have the filled out sheets sent to a single person who mails it to Paramount.

In the meantime I'll start tuning the bagpipes...

Lord Borg · **Wed Jul 26, 2006 11:36 pm**

Maybe... that is tricky becuase online ones are imply to untrust worthy

Founder · **Thu Jul 27, 2006 12:31 am**

What if all of this is...a joke? Kind of a means to throw people off?
