The perception of super powers or abilities can be a bit misleading. Through the entire film, we see Rorshack and Owl Man beating ass on everyone, but when it comes to Ozymanius (sp?) they get their own asses handed to them. Also, I assume that Rorshak's mask really does nothing and that the...

The obvious answer to those questions and many many others is "we don't" and new fans don't have a clue. Many times a film will start in progress in a package universe where we learn some things and simply accept others. This film presents a dilemma because it doesn't fit many of our...

I saw it as a kid, and I still am.

You already did when you said "And we know this how?" after I took the time to post information and explained where each piece was coming from. I've never heard someone refuse to accept a writer's input on his own material before. The comic story was written by Orci and Kurtzman in an effort...

Well, the movie Romulans such as Nanclus in ST:VI had no ridges. It was made more silly by the fact that Spock was posing as a Romulan in "Unification" and was clearly a Vulcan. I heard most of the other stuff from Orci but it is supposed to be in the comic. Riverside, I suggested, and Orci...

Because, I'm telling ya.

There never should have been ridges in the first place. Vulcan and Romulans were the same species only a thousand years earlier. Good riddance. Nero and his crew shaved their heads and adorned themselves with war tattoos after the destruction of Romulus. Nero's ship, the Narada, did not...

But this movie establishes that Spock and Uhura have a history together, enough of a history for Spock to worry about the appearance of impropriety if he placed her on the Enterprise. Although we don't know what the nature of their previous association was, they have gotten to know each other...

The book was excellent. Better than First Contact.

Well, I guess he wasn't on the bridge. http://tos.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/3x24/turnaboutintruder_087.JPG

You gotta wonder if Shatner ever said to the director, "Is this too much?"

Both Rance and Clint tend to appear somewhere in every Ron Howard film.

Thats from "Turnabout Intruder", the last episode of Star Trek, where man-hating b***** Janice Lester trades bodies with Captain Kirk, and subsequently files his nails on the bridge and has irrational outbursts at the crew. Women rarely fared well in Star Trek.

I think that's true of anything, though. You rarely know where a character is going when you start writing, but you figure it out along the way. The timing of the death of Kosh surprised JMS himself, and Marcus, who had been brought in for Season 3 to give us a swashbuckling "face" of the...

For older fans of anime, lets not forget Starblazers aka Space Battleship Yamato. Produced in Japan from 1974-1980, it was first broadcast in the United States in 1979. Significantly, it was the first popular English-translated anime that had an over-arching plot and storyline that required...

From Wikipedia: (I sort of knew the story, but why write what you can copy?) The impetus for the series Twin Peaks was the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer. When production began on the pilot, series creators David Lynch and Mark Frost had decided that the murderer would be revealed as Leland...

Noted and edited. Of course, it was relevant to this thread so I don't know how I could have put it somewhere else, unless I attached an appendix.

It's kind of like that Nirvana concert when Kurt Cobain started screaming at the jocks and fratboys in the audience, "YOU'RE THE SAME MO**********S WHO USED TO BEAT ME UP IN HIGH SCHOOL!". He couldn't reconcile that popularity would make him attractive to those he despised. Still, most of us...

I left my nitpicker at home. There are far too many to count. That way lies madness.

It's definitely a fun movie. Is it as smart as the critics say? No. Are the effects as groundbreaking as the critics say? I didn't think so. Does it resemble STAR TREK? Vaguely. It's a difficult thing because Star Trek, perhaps more than any other franchise in movie history, has suffered with...
