Enjoyed this week’s Star Trek visit.

Saw Star Trek Into Darkness on Thursday night. … It is a fun movie. And without giving spoilers…. the 3D effect was good and worth getting the clunky glasses.

Yes. I am a purist for Star Trek – I recognise ‘canon’. But Abrams – with his first outing with Star Trek – changed the game. So anything goes. The only canon you need to know about Star Trek is that friends will always find each other. Heroes will always be heroes. And Villains will always do villainous things. (I don’t thing that spoiler-ish, is it?)

@ChessPirate… you do realize that Hollywood is where it started, don’t you?

The first Star Trek was groundbreaking at the time, compared with the contemporary ‘Lost In Space’ it was fantastic (I liked them both by the way but, Star Trek was better hands down).
By the time ‘The Next Generation’ came about the effects and the writing were so much improved that the original had become “camp”. It is funny to go back and watch the opening segments of shows and notice the ‘Star Dates’ often were thousands of years different. Hollywood definitely improved the “new” Star Treks over the original in terms of effects and consistency. The new movies continue to improve effects as the state of the art continues to grow and change. Some people are always going to be stuck in the past and enamored with the roots of things and that is their right. I personally find I am well entertained by the continuation of the Star Treks.

I agree with the dog, I think the TNG-era dress uniform is best. The first ones, not the one with the white coat.

You can’t possibly think the same people are in charge. Of course what comes out of Hollywood isn’t all bad, there have been many happy accidents.

“Consistency?” You have got to be kidding!

In TNG there were actually holdovers in plots and characters much more than in the original. Very few characters outside of the regulars of the crew were carried from show to show in the original series. Mudd was one of the few and Spocks parents. In TNG we had strips that held together with other strips over the course of several season so No I’m not kidding there was Much more consistency with TNG and DSN, than there Ever was in the original series.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and guess you thought I was speaking about the new movies which do not have to be consistent with the old shows as they are in an alternate universe. They only have to be consistent with themselves and as I haven’t seen the new one yet I won’t know till later this week.

Yes, I thought you were referring to the “reboots”.

@Redkaycei Repoc
Very true. At first, I didn’t like TNG much, what with Riker always putting his leg up on stuff to show what a he-man he was and all of the “sciencey” buzz words they were using. It grew on me though, mainly because of the performances of Brent Spiner and Patrick Stewart. And they did have some good scripts too. DSN I liked mostly for the comedy(Quark and Odo). The Voyager scripts got inexplicably better after Seven of Nine joined the cast. I thought “Enterprise” was a good try, but a bit weak. I go along with that saying that the even-numbered movies were better than the odd-numbered ones except I liked III too. And I’ve already given my opinion of the reboots.

He even has a couple of medals pinned onto his waiter jacket. That should make an impression. Yes, he has fried his personal hard drive.
