And please, no more silliness about honor; when Worf started telling Alexander that a Klingon's word was his bond I knew that Star Trek: TNG was screwed. Last Edited By: Bookhoard 05/12/09 11:33:37.

But I hope the next villain is different; someone rational, not a maniac with a grudge like Khan or Nero. Someone like Kor from "Errand of Mercy" could be a great recurring enemy for Kirk: a starship captain representing totalitarianism in opposition to the Federation's humanism. Besides, they really and truly messed up the Klingons, starting with their goofy appearance in Star Trek: the Motion Picture and graduating to Christopher Lloyd shouting ersatz German on the bridge and ending with Worf, the Star Trek equivalent of Lurch -- at which point the new Klingons had as much in common with the original Klingons as they did with Robin Hood. I really want them to throw some of the trash out of the franchise. I would love to see thousands of TNG fans tearing up their Klingon dictionaries. Last Edited By: Bookhoard 05/12/09 11:56:21.

Have heard good things and do plan to see it - but I just Googled up a shot of Eric Bana as a "Romulan" and all I've got to say is crap. He looks like a goddamn Mad Max reject. I hope he can act better than that lame-ass make-up job makes him look. My two bits. However, I have always kind of dug the New Generation Klingons, although I agree that they keep getting wilder looking by the minute - which I don't necessarily appreciate. Different strokes, I guess.

However, I hope they stay away from time travel for at least the next ten Star Trek movies. We have, what, eleven movies, and three of them involve time travel? I dig the Klingons-with-ridges -- but we've seen a lot of them over the past 20 years. Maybe it's time to give them a rest (at least for a little while). A recent article suggested the Trek writers might bring back Khan. I think that'd be a mistake. In my book no one but Ricardo Montalban is Khan. (The actor currently being batted around for Khan is Javier Bardem.) Khan already has a TV episode and a movie, so I say give him a rest, too. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

This way, fans can say, "The new movie establishes an alternate timeline so MY beloved Trek continuity is safe," and then hopefully they'll enjoy the alternate crew's adventures -- at least, I'm sure that's what Paramount is hoping. As a marketing move, it makes a lot of sense, considering how many classic Trek fans there are out there. As a creative move . . . well, I loved the new movie, and I like time travel stories in general, but yeah, they've been done to death in both the various Trek series and the Trek movies, so I hope they don't do any more. I also hope that whoever scripts the sequel does a better job with the technical details of the script. I mean, I know Trek isn't supposed to present REAL science, but jesus, there was really dumb stuff in the film. I still loved the film (saw it twice), but there was really stupid stuff in the script that I had to forgive. Your Signature ... www.timwaggoner.com

My mom is a HUGE Trekkie and she usually can roll with whatever the writers come up with, but even this one made her cringe. It's the first time I've ever heard her say that she might not pick up this movie when it comes out on DVD.

I think the major difference is that, by the time of the second pic, the Klingon empire had discovered meth. Last Edited By: NicoleCushing 05/14/09 08:21:24. Edited 1 times.
