Sky Blue Tom

^^^^^^^

Might even go see this now.

buffalo

no William Shatner though :/

Donners

Actually, interesting you should say that. I went to a convention last week, and former Roddenberry lackey Richard Arnold said that the film would contradict the novels. I know there has been at least one novel dealing with Kirk and Kobayashi Maru, so that is a possibility.

As for B5, I was too far into DS9 when I first saw it, so could never get into it. Crusade actually showed a bit of promise before it was axed. Considering how terrible the first season of TNG was, Crusade was unlucky.

Donners

The game or the movie? IMHO, they would have been better putting scenes from one of the games (maybe Prophecy) than the film they wound up with. Prophecy was better acted, written and produced. Saffron Burrows FFS!

Half-time Orange

I was thinking Star Trek XI was a football team of the cast and crew.

Thought they might play a charity game against LA Galaxy or something.

I reckon Ryder would do a good job at Left Back - she'd have Beckham in her pocket no problem!

Donners

More casting news - Australian Chris Hemsworth as Kirk's father, and House's Jennifer Morrison, possibly as Carol Marcus.

the shat will be in it \o/

although you REALLY don't wanna know the plot. :thdn:

Donners

I really doubt he will be.

I don't want to know the plot at all - I watched Enterprise and Nemesis without spoilers, and found it much more enjoyable.

However, I do know one element of the plot, and they have made a MAJOR mistake using part of a Harlan Ellison script. He kicked up a major fuss when one of the novels used elements of City on the Edge of Forever without permission, and he's going to make all sorts of noise about this film.

yeah, sorry donners, but the new movie will basically be a revamped city on the edge of forever.

shat will play the edith keeler role, spock has the decision to make.

not. good. :thdn:

Donners, do yourself a favour and watch B5 (especially the first four seasons). IMHO, B5 &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Crusade.

I wonder if they will dye Winona Ryder's hair blonde, as per The Original Series.
