Is that the one from the Next Generation series ?, I'm not a die hard trekkie but the Jean Luc ( generally like most of Partrick Stewarts work anyway ) series was perhaps the best, Capt Janeaway ( spelling ) is a little butch for me LOL.

Much prefer Star Wars truth be told, as if my Avatar didnt give it away LOL.

No, it's the Enterprise from the four Star Trek Movies. Jean Luc's Enterprise is "flatter" looking than this.

I have a cutaway painting of this particular Enterprise hanging in my study. It came out when Star Trek - The Motion Picture came out; I inherited it from a friend who passed away from cancer; two other friends had it framed for me. A treasured keepsake, needless to say, it is my favorite Enterprise as well.

I like Star Wars and Star Trek equally. Also enjoyed 2001 - A Space Odyssey. The shuttle Orion from 2001, and several Star Wars ships inhabit the "fictional" wing of my "Virtual Air Museum." :focus:
 
Hmmm I dunno this upcoming ver of the Enterprise just doesnt fit into the time line See pic its suppose to be between NX-01 and NCC-1701

This new Trek film is being billed as a complete "reboot" of the TV series. Comic nerds call this "retconning" and it happens constantly to characters like Batman and Superman. I'm going to reserve judgement until I see the final product. A lot of my fellow nerds decide they're NOT going to like something when it's still in pre-production, and that's IT!!! I'm not going down that road; it helped kill Enterprise. I agree with you on the "wait and see".

ATTN: Cheezy,

First of all, you destroyed my sleep with that picture of Britney you uploaded...Secondly, Kirk had many hotties; some of them green.

ATTN: jhefner,

I also enjoyed 2001. I like the Arthur C. Clarke books as well, but I don't see them in the same way as Trek and Star Wars. The 2001 series are hard core science fiction, while George Lucas (to his credit) never made that claim about Star Wars, which is a real pastiche of a lot of media. He took A LOT from Dune, and the Foundation books, as well as a lot of mythology, Saturday morning serials, and war movies. There's a movie called Dam Busters which is a pseudo-historical account of the RAF attack on the Ruhr dams. See it if you get chance. I'm convinced George Lucas got the idea for his assault on the Death Star specifically from this film, although I know I'll never be able to prove that. Star Trek, if I have Gene Roddenberry right, was more conceived as Horatio Hornblower is space (or, if you've seen the episode Balance of Terror, The Enemy Below in space). Also, according to the memoirs of certain cast alumni, Mr. Roddenberry was quite the ladies man back in the day. I really see Kirk as his alter-ego. Picard is a much more controlled personality type; he might represent the more mature Roddenberry. Again, I don't really know. Anyway, all these series, in my opinion, are meant first and foremost to be enjoyed, and I do enjoy them greatly.

I like the new ship. I like to see this all evolve and become more complex and incredible.


I am looking forward to it. Looks like a fun movie.


Ed,

I agree. Captain Picard was brilliant. I liked that episode where he returns to Earth for shore leave, after being saved from being a borg. He goes home to the family Vineyard and hangs out for a week or two.

I'll always miss the team at ST TNG. They were like family to me. Each was a powerful equal element in the series. From Jordy to Warf to Diana, even that young guy, Mr. Crusher, who had to leave later..

i have to say , other than the ship designs , the only thing that has ever drawn me towards star trek was the borg .

has my avatar also shows ,i am more of a star wars geek ... it's not much the movies but the whole universe that has been developed around the movies that really caught my attention there . as far as the movies go , empire strikes back is the only i consider to be exceptional .
 
Picard!! He couldn't hold the light for Kirk to go by!!!!:wiggle::wiggle:

Yup, it's the movie version for the original crew. The Big E was totally refit supposedly after the second 5 year mission with Kirk.

STNG was a good show, but not as good as the original to me. I haven't got to see the remastered version of the original series yet, but with the new effects an all it should be up to par with NG.

Gotta see if I can find em on DVD, none iof the station I get are runnin em.
 
Another shot of the NCC-1701-A

And the last shot of it ever on the big screen, ridin off into the sunset (so to speak)

End of an era, STAR TREK just wasn't the same anymore after that.

Gramps,

Go HERE: http://www.cbs.com/classics/star_trek/

The remastered episodes will appear in a Flash-type banner on the top of the page; they will say "Star Trek Re-Mastered" at the end of the title. I'm not sure if the titles in the regular menu are remastered or not. You could also go to www.startrek.com, or you can download the re-mastered episodes as .MOV files from iTunes for 1.99 USD apiece.

Heheh couldnt agree more,Kirk was a real man,Picard was a snag :)
Im 1 dvd short of having the full dvd TOS collection,comes out each fortnight with a magazine,been collecting for over a year now.

Useless Star Trek fact ...did you know start trek had the first ever televised interracial kiss between Ahura and Kirk? Almost didnt happen as the suits where panicking,they shot 2 scenes one with a kiss one with just a hug.Kirk crossed his eyes and pulled a face on the hug take,By the time it was picked up it was to late to reshoot so they went with the kiss scene.I like the way the Start Trek franchise takes current events and puts a futuristic spin on it,as the saying go's the more things change the more they stay the same
Cheers

We all have our own take on who's the best Captain, and I'm a Picard man. But then that's probably because I grew up with TNG.

If the film is good i can forgive a certain amount of messing with Trek lore.

Don't forget it has the Nimoy seal of approval in the form of a cameo.

Entirely my pleasure, Gramps.

Attn: Wozza,

I did know about Kirk and Uhura; Nichelle Nichols and William Shatner both write about it at length in their respective memoirs about the series. What I found more interesting reading Nichelle Nichols' book is that she once considered leaving the series, but was dissauded by a personal appeal from Martin Luther King Jr. who felt it was important for young people to see a future where people of different ethnic groups cooperated with each other.

Here's a pic of the Enterprise-J, which several friends of mine didn't believe existed. It appeared once, in the "Azati Prime" episode of Enterprise, when Temporal Agent Daniels takes Captain Archer to the 26th Century to witness a battle between the Federation and the Sphere Builders. The crew included Klingons and Xindi.

Based on many of these comments, I'm beginning to go from feeling old to feeling antique and perhaps ancient. For me, the real Star Trek is the show from the 1960's, that's the Star Trek of my childhood. Yes, I had the plastic model kit versions of the tricorder, phaser, and communicator as well as a couple of the official nylon windbreaker jackets. I did enjoy the Next Generation version after Piccard learned how to order his weapons officer to open fire rather than have his communications officers relay the message "we surrendah!". As to all the other versions, didn't really have much interest and given a choice, I'll watch the original series episodes any day of the week.

Having said that, I will now go back to my corner and continue to collect dust along with all the other antiques. :wiggle:

Reminds me of Kirk and McCoy in Kirk's apartment at the beginning of "The Wrath of Khan". :amen:

I'm with ya bud!!! I have vague memories of sittin on my dads lap an watchin the original series. It had to be the last season (or reruns, and I don't think this), Because me an star trek were hatched the same year ( 1966) and it was cancelled in '69.
Watched the reruns when ever a station would run em. finally got a vcr a n recorded all I could, so I could watch em when a station wasn't showin it.

Like I said in an earlier post, it was an end of era for me when the original crew made the final movie. Just wasn't the same with no Kirk an crew!!

I figure what with the economy doing what it's doing, we all need as much LMFAO as we can get. I also try to be a positive representative of my people, the Nerds, and present our culture, heritage, and venerated traditions accurately and succinctly. So you see, I'm doing what I can.
