Star Trek XI - spoilers!

Like I said, the previous marketing efforts have achieved just that result. Even my wife was interested. I found this a bit too much. You can defend it all you like, but it certainly is an affront to older Trek fans.

I wasn't didn't feel affronted, so I guess it could be said that it's only afront to some Star Trek fans ... I think they also said the same thing about the spin offs when they came out.

I remember the outcry against DS9.

No ENTERPRISE? No ship at ALL?

"To boldly stay where no one has stayed before."

As was said about an Enterprise with some old bald dude that wasn't Kirk as the captain.(Gurney Halleck?? Really?? And the guy from Reading Rainbow?? This is going to suck!!)

Remember, many people are resistant to change.  You'll always get those sort of messages I'm afraid =/

And as we all should remember we are all entitled to our opinions. Best to reserve judgement for when you have seen the film. I always hark back to 1979 when Life of Brian came out. All these people protesting about a film they hadnt seen and thus getting their facts wrong. Less than a month to go so lets keep that in mind.

Failing that lets all have a food fight ;)

Let me clarify. I'm not trying to knock Bryan's opinion, but the same things that are going on here were there for TNG. The whole TNG name was even picked on as it was thought by some as a means to distance your father's generation of Trek from yours. Like TNG they have done nothing to insult the Trek before it, but merely pointed out that this isn't the Trek that your father grew up with. That's true. I don't think that it's meant to be any sort of slight to the old fans anymore than the creation of the spinoffs were an attack on TOS.

I think that we can all find things that we don't like in anything that we see, hear, or read. As long as this isn't the Phantom Menace of Star Trek, I'm happy. I had to find things to like in that prequel. Let's hope this is not the same.

Very well said.  Just a few weeks to go!  Soon, the wait will be over.

For anyone interested, there is a great set of articles in the latest issue of "Geek Monthly" with many of the actors and JJ about the new movie.  Really awesome stuff!  It's the May 2009 issue and should be on newstands very soon.  Here's a scan of the cover of mine:

At least they get their geek terms right - it's flagged as a Trekkie issue, none of this Trekker nonsense :)

[Rico]

Well, actually in the articles they toss both terms around.  I guess it's a equal Trek opportunity magazine!

I ordered my tickets for Star Trek in IMAX on May 7th 7:00 P.M.  In Lacey Wa.  It cost and arm and a leg, but I'm there baby!
