Imagine Spock revealing he has a kid.
McCoy looking at Kirk, quite surprised:
"He's dad, Jim!"

I watched Chaos on the Bridge, William Shatner's documentary on the creation of ST:TNG.

Riveting. Very enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

I've never heard of this. It sounds interesting.

It was on Netflix. I think it was done in 2014, so it's fairly recent.

That makes it... weirder somehow. Why make a documentary now (or last year) about the launch of a show nearly 30 years ago?

Because now there is more perspective on it, and the impact the show had.

Also, some people are now dead, so the "survivors" are more free to talk about them, I suppose.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #2282 on:** December 02, 2015, 08:19:44 AM »

I just watched it and I'd say it was about what I was expecting.

Most of the drama was from the studio and not really between the actors on the show.

For sure.

Bank of Canada is pleading with Star Trek fans to stop “Spocking” its five dollar bills. Since Leonard Nimoy’s death, Canadian folks have been “Spocking” the hell out of the five dollar bill that features a portrait of Canada’s seventh prime minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

Sir Wilfrid now sports, on certain bills at least, pointy ears, the signature Vulcan haircut and eyebrows and Spock’s mantra “Live long and prosper.”

WTH? Was that in fast forward or something? No clip was there longer than 2 seconds.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2288 on:** December 14, 2015, 05:32:24 AM »

Do you think they could go a movie without destroying the Enterprise? It's kind of losing impact.

Apparently the legit debut of the trailer is with the new Star Wars? Maybe in English I'll have some chance of figuring out what's happening inbetween the explosions.

Polarbear · « **Reply #2289 on:** December 14, 2015, 05:33:04 AM »

It looks exactly what i thought a Justin Lin directed Star Trek movie, would look like.

Best case scenario: it will be a fun action movie like First Contact.
Worst case scenario: It will be a trainwreck like Nemesis, and destroy the franchise again.

But that motorcycle stunt just looks dumb!

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2290 on:** December 14, 2015, 05:49:14 AM »

There's just something about seeing a dirt bike in Star Trek that takes me way out of the moment.

Agreed on both posts. I failed to see the need for the vintage car scene with a young Kirk from the first movie completely unnecessary and stupid - especially laughable with the Nokia infotainment screen.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2292 on:** December 14, 2015, 06:04:41 AM »

I was going to mention that very moment too. There was also the sand dune scene in Nemesis with that vehicle, which I was sorta ok with despite how jarring the idea was.

I'm pretty sure that's not even finished. There's bluescreen visible.

I can wait for an official trailer before making my mind up.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2294 on:** December 14, 2015, 06:18:13 AM »

Bluescreen where? I think it's a finished teaser for the movie, but the colour's shit (no reds), probably due to being a leak. The effects are the least of my worries anyway.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #2295 on:** December 14, 2015, 07:11:00 AM »

A split second after the close up of Kirk firing a phaser there's a fight scene and a window.

It looks to me like blue screen.

Plus it doesn't look finished to me at all.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2296 on:** December 14, 2015, 07:13:11 AM »

Damn, it's been blocked so I can't check it back now, but I think it was just the shitty quality of the trailer.
Either way, the effects were of no concern to me, it was the mindless everything happening in every shot that sinks my hopes.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #2297 on:** December 14, 2015, 08:48:04 AM »

I found another one and I still think it's bluescreen.

Plus why is the music so quiet and everything else much much louder ?

I'm thinking someone has gotten hold of some unfinished footage and thrown something together ...

Or it's going to be the Jurassic World scenario where the final film has vastly different scenes / CGI etc.

It's not uncommon for teaser trailers to have work in progress shots.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #2298 on:** December 14, 2015, 09:18:09 AM »

Paramount Caved.

Let the bitching commence.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2299 on:** December 14, 2015, 09:25:01 AM »

So they lose the Enterprise entirely during the movie? I guess they're pulling a Search for Spock with this one to carry on the pattern.

From this trailer, I'm expecting more of the same empty rubbish. I'm not seeing anything fresh or exciting here, just generic aliens on a generic alien planet with motorcycles, string it together with as many explosions as the budget will allow.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #2300 on:** December 14, 2015, 09:30:11 AM »

One down. El Barto is up next.

I actually hope they reveal a totally new Enterprise at the end - closer to the Motion Picture refit.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2301 on:** December 14, 2015, 09:36:37 AM »

If they unveil another Enterprise, it's going to be the same but twice as big with Cadillac fins on the nacelles, and with speed stripes down the side, and green neons under the secondary hull, and a nitrous button, and it's going to space drift against a Klingon Bird of Prey in the neutral zone, and then at the end the Klingon leader will have so much respect for Kirk's mad skillz that they'll sign the Khitomer accord together and make history.

At least 50% of this will probably actually happen.

Because we never listen to 300 year old music now.

Is that the song? (never heard of it)
That would be in line with the current music used in the other new Trek movies, like again, the car scene in ST11. It will go well with the motorbike racing.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #2305 on:** December 14, 2015, 09:47:00 AM »

It's the same song from the first one.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2306 on:** December 14, 2015, 09:47:46 AM »

I'll be optimistic and hope it's just for the trailer. That's not uncommon.
Oh wait, but Kirk and Scotty were talking about the music.
Fuck.
