Today Star Trek got a whole lot realer. In their Comic Con Preview edition, Entertainment Weekly has a sneak peek at some posters that are going to be given way at Comic Con next week…and for the first time ever we have images of actual cast members from JJ Abrams Star Trek. [MINOR SPOILERS]

[KevinDavis]

I am going to see this movie..

[Sybeck1]

So now Paramount is spoofing Trek?

[KevinDavis]

This is the Sci-Fi Ping List! Let me know if you want on or off this list!

[Mr Rogers]

Hopefully, they will spend money to get a good script. It takes time for the chemistry of a show (or crew) to come together, and they have to make it work the first time out. With a good script - maybe. Otherwise, this will suck.

[TheWasteLand]

I haven't watched any Trek since TNG (ok, I watched the premiere of Enterprise for the Vulcan hottie).

But this intrigues me - I think I will be seeing this movie too. Thanks for the pictures.

[yarddog]

I liked the original series but have not liked any of the spin-offs or movies.

I thought TNG was fair but not really good and the last one about the original Enterprise had hopes then sort of died. A few good episodes on it but a lot of bad ones, and eventually it just got boring.

[swatbuznik]

“Fascinating.”

[marajade]

All I know is it has Karl Urban and Eric Bana which makes it worth seeing.

[marajade]

First Contact or Deep Space Nine you didn’t like?

[Jotmo]

Star Trek peaked with "The Wrath of Kahn". Everything since then has been a downhill slide.

This franchise is so played out already.

[marajade]

Star Trek IV and VI were good.

First Contact, Insurrection and Nemesis were pretty good too.

[yarddog]

DS9 was awful. First contact was poor to fair.

Actually the original 1960's series had a few bad ones too but also a few very good ones.

I think the cast was also a big part of the original series success.

[Coffee200am]

I hope it doesn’t turn out to be some hip hop, snakes on a starship movie...

[marajade]

I own all seven seasons of DS9 on DVD. Pretty good stuff. Same guy who wrote BSG.

First Contact was great.

[yarddog]

I watched a few episodes of DS9 and just couldn’t watch it.

[marajade]

I thought DS 9 was the best of the post OT series.

[marajade]

Ooops OT equals OS

[TheWasteLand]

The original Trek was the best, but I liked most of TNG. The rest of the spin-offs were dreadful.

As for the movies, I really liked Wrath of Khan, and I enjoyed The Voyage Home as comedy. Beyond that, I thought they were pretty bad.

[Coffee200am]

I thought DS 9 was the best of the post OT series.



VOY was good....the one's with 7 at least...

[Jet Jaguar]

ping!

[Illuminatas]

For a good sci-fi series, the end-all-be-all is still Babylon 5. The BEST television show ever made. Ok, seasons 1-4 and the series finale were the best series ever made...

[marajade]

Voyager sucked.

[marajade]

B5 was good. That’s why DS9 was the best.

[Coffee200am]

I “disliked” Enterprise after watching three episodes. It turned into “Lost in Space” for me.

[mkjessup]

I'd like to put in a plug for a Trek-fan based website:

http://www.startreknewvoyages.com/

This website is based on the original series, but with NEW actors and actresses reprising the roles of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scott, etc., and the amazing thing about this website is that the episode downloads are FREE, they are not making one red cent off of the productions (don't ask me how they're doing it), that way they evade any copyright issues.

I highly recommend visiting this site, and if you want to watch a truly amazing new/old episode, download 'In Harm's Way', I can virtually guarantee that you won't be disappointed.

As an afterthought, the actor who plays Kirk on these 'New Voyages' (James Cawley) is supposed to have a minor role in the new Trek film. His portrayal of Kirk in 'New Voyages' is phenomenal, and I was just amazed not only at their enthusiasm and professionalism, but the recreation of the original series sets with improvements!

I will give you a hint (as an appetizer of sorts), if you remember the episode 'The Doomsday Machine', William Windom played the role of Commodore Matt Decker, who died trying to destroy the Machine by flying a shuttlecraft down the throat of the beast, in the episode 'In Harm's Way', he reprises his role as Decker in a very poignant and moving performance.

What can I say? I think it's outstanding.

[Grizzled Bear]

Does this sort of thing interest you?

[WorkingClassFilth]

I haven’t watched Star Trek since the Enterprise’s five year mission back in stardate 2729.6.

[LiberConservative]

TNG was the best of all of them. Voyager, DS9 and Enterprise all sucked. Most of the movies sucked except maybe First Contact. If JJ Abrams can work his magic in this movie like he does for Lost it might be good enough. There sure is a lot of hype to live up to.

[bigheadfred]

the Vulcan hottie

Just the premiere? She was worth a second look...

[akorahil]

I would respectfully beg to differ. My argument being thusly...

[FORTRUTHONLY]

The tatoo on the guy on the bottom picture looks similar like the one of the Dark Sith Lord from SW. The picture of the gal on the top reminds me of a James Bond poster. Can they be a bit more original than this? Pathetic!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Thiey all look stupid in the extreme, particularly Eric Bana as the Romulan bad guy "Nero." Romulans are essentially Vulcans with emotions. They don't have tattoos.

Has anyone ever read Diane Duane's EXCELLENT five book "Rihannsu" series concerning the Romulans, collectively grouped into a single volume entitled The Bloodwing Voyages?

It has everything you need to know about the Romulans.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

The Star Trek:TOS episode "Balance of Terror" was the best ever...

[Brett66]

Hopefully they won’t make Kirk or Spock gay.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

The time travel stuff in Enterprise was just goofy. It’s too bad that the series went the direction in which it did, because it did have alot of promise, particularly with the Klingons and Romulans in the very early years of Starfleet.

[yarddog]

I always thought 7 of 9 was a poor name. She should have been named 9.9 out of 10, Actually that series wasn’t very good either. Too many just plain unbelievable plots.

[Coffee200am]

It got to the point where the crew looked stupid.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Yep, it sure did.

[Hyzenthlay]

Interestingly enough, Seven of Nine was actually named after some law that’s relevant to production of a TV series - a copyright law, IIRC.

Anyways, the original series always was my favorite. However, this movie looks pretty promising - Zachary Quinto is a great actor and looks PERFECT as Spock, and the other actors and actresses look reasonably like younger versions of their character. I’m looking forward to it so much I’ve already started a costume to wear to the movie (or, more specificaly, I’ve bought the trim to sew onto this blue shirt I found).

[Viking2002]

I see you come over to our little home on the web to give Bob Orci grief, too....LOL

[Viking2002]

A still from the official Paramount teaser (the Big E under construction):

[Viking2002]

I swear I still see Gabe Koerner's hand in this (or at least his influence):

):

[Viking2002]

It's a shame they couldn't work this guy into the script beside Nimoy for a couple of scenes. Looks like he still belongs there, don't he?

[KevinDavis]

IMHO Voyager killed Star Trek..

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

They're now doing a remake of “The Prisoner.” I guess the entertainment industry is out of original ideas.

[Bratch]

You probably know this, but FYI that episode was a remake of an old WW2 U.S. destroyer vs German submarine movie.

[marajade]

Agree

[KevinDavis]

It started out good, then it fizzled big time. I also think that Berman and Braga killed Star Trek..

[marajade]

Also agree.

Its obvious that RDM was the best and Paramount made a mistake
