Without sounding too harsh, there is NO NEED to explain why the Enterprise, Warp, the Transporters, and Phasers look different. Its a reboot. A relaunch. A fresh coat of paint on an old franchise. They get to change physical appearances without an explaination from cannon. And FOR THE LOVE...

Re: New Joss Whedon show I just saw that too. Unbelievable!

Man, I'm doing all sorts of simul-posting today....

I think it was implied that the ship was the Black Rock. You are right, even at then, it seemed their battle/struggle had been going on for centuries before that. I am wondering if the Black Rock symbolized the other guys long term plan to start manipulating events, or at least, led to him...

Yea, one thing that I think became clear to me was that the guy in black on the beach with Jacob = smokey = not-dead-Christian = not-dead-Locke Think about all the manipulation that person did. As Christian he told Locke he had to leave the island and die to bring the others back. Really, he...

No doubt. Jacob must not have been too worried about dying considering how he taunted Ben like that. Really odd. What I am wondering, is who is the other guy that was back on the beach looking at the Black Rock with Jacob. Is that the person who was "possessing" Jack's Dad and now Locke? I...

I was actually referring to the untold number of "Special Editions" and his refusal to release the original versions of the original three movies (until recently), but come to think about it, a Jar-Jar switch would be much appreciated.

Another positive thing to come out of this movie for me is renewed desire to re watch the TOS episodes again. And, coincidentally, I was on Amazon and saw that TOS Season 1 on Blu-Ray comes out on Tuesday, so I hit the WANT button and ordered it. Its pretty well discounted what with the hype...

Yes, there was that too. Rather silly. I try to suspend a little belief when watching movies like this, but sometimes things just scream out at me when they are that obvious. So not wanting to get into a big geeky debate here, but I think your assesment is wrong here on a couple of counts...

Saw this today, and for my review, I'll break it into things that I liked about it, and things I didn't like about it. I think my opinion is probably similar to JJ's more hard core Trekkie friend. First, an observation about the Time Travel concept in this movie, and its being a reboot. I...

Re: New Joss Whedon show I dont think getting more is likely. Ratings have been constantly slipping. :( That said, I was gone for a couple of weeks and just caught up and watched the finale, and I liked it. I thought Alan Tudyk was AWESOME. They also used him brilliantly. They introduced...

I read a great quote on another board from a poster who said basically what you did. That while a lot of people didn't like Star Trek: The Motion Picture, it was probably the only true Science Fiction movie of either of the two series. After that it started becoming more of a space drama and...

Conceptually, I agree. That being said, I DID really, REALLY enjoy Casino Royale and Batman Begins as really, REALLY solid reboots. Mind you, Im not going to get into debates on how they do and don't respet the prior works of those series. I dont care. I dont consider Casino Royale "canon"...

I didnt think that was anything but common knowledge. There have been many examples, situations, and comments over the years that illustrated Bermans lack of respect for the original series. Its not really a secret, its almost common knowledge. Dont feel like digging up ancient articles...

Haven't seen the movie yet, but don't care about spoilers so I read your post. Frankly, you didn't really spoil anything key plot wise that I saw. I did want to reply to your last sentence though. From the early rumors about this movie, that scenario was hinted at, and even stated. That this...

A lot of these shows aren't even Sci-Fi.

OK I can't believe no one has mentioned last week's Lost yet. While not a shocking end per say, it definitely goes to re-enforce the "you cant change what has already happened" mentality with time travel that the show is trying to communicate. Still, if I'm Faraday's mom, thats pretty harsh...

Yea interesting read, thanks for the insights. I especially liked her comment about why she (Starbuck) shouldn't be a role model and raise your own kids.

But it was awesome.
