You'll find, seeing an old rerun 2000 times is still better then anything new
they can make.

Let Trek go "gently into that good night"?

Yes, just let it die.
With no Gene and no cast members (they're all too old or dead) ... there is
nothing that can be done.

People LOVE Shakespeare.
They love reading the same stories over and over and over again.
They don't need A Tale of Two Cities : The Next Generation and so forth.

Couldn't have said it better that new stuff sucks..........

I actually think it could be said better.

In fact, the Shakespeare analogy actually is more
fuel for the OPPOSITE theory just as "The Bat" pointed out.

The only "big" way new generations of kids enjoy Shakespeare is through
movie versions...remakes...of the Bard's stuff.

(And then, of course, there's SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE---pretty much of the
same ilk)

Ok...here's My prediction for the new Trek Movie: If it's well done, and the story is exciting & well written...it will do BIG numbers at the Box Office(despite the die-hard oldtimer Trek Fans, that can't see anybody else but Shatner & Nimoy as Kirk & Spock...like TK1, and probably even Myself).

But what will happen is..."if" the Movie is good...it will create a whole NEW Generation of Star Trek Fans. I have Nephews and such...that won't even give TOS a chance because of the dated FX, and cheesey Sets. Us old time Fans realize it's not about the FX, or the sets...but the acting and dynamic between the cast & crew that make TOS so GREAT! But Kids these Days are to spoiled by Todays trechnolgy...and just can't see past it.


For this "new" generation...Pine & Quinto, WILL be Kirk & Spock!

Straight to video my butt...this Trek flick will make more dinero than any previous Trek movie ever made.

Yup, this will be one of the big movies for 2009.
Even if some of the older Trek fans who seem to have already decided to hate it before seeing anything other than a few random pictures, this movie will do extremely well at the box office and should generate at least a few sequels.
I for one can't wait to see it as I am very excited about this Trek relaunch.

Akeroid played both Scotty and Bones on the old SNL Star Trek Belushi sketch.
The one where Chevy was Spock.

Oh, I remember...I watched all those episodes when they originally aired....NEVER miss it!! Those were the BEST Days of SNL!

Is that an attempt at Humor...or do You think He could actualy pull it off?

Only if Dan Akeroid does both Scotty and Bones voices.
If he agrees, i'm all for it.

It Bums Me out that They never went with my idea. I would like to see a completely "Animated" Star Trek Movie on the big Screen! You could still get most of the Cast, and You could have some one imitate Bones & Scotty...what'd Ya think?

If they really wanted to do something as a nice final blowout for the franchise, here's what I would suggest .......

It's 2008, so any idea is possible today....

Go with Gene's first Motion Picture idea.
The Jesus as a crazy robot one.
Get the Next Gen cast to star in it, and include some DS-9's and Voyager cameos.
Forget about the classic series and Enterprise.
Or, get some of them to play as other characters in the Next Gen universe.

Run with that and make a movie that Gene WANTED to do.

Either go out punching with what they have, or crawl away.

Leave the classic series alone.

That's my theory.

Gene Roddenberry is dead...get over it.

Boy I think most of us are over analyzing this movie before it is even close to being finished. I'm hoping this movie isn't for us but for the kids who, with a little luck, will become Star Trek fans. Star Wars did it with 2 out of 3 of their most recent movies being substandard. If this movie appeals to the younger generation in my revive the franchise.
