  1. Planet Vulcan? by rakerman · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is it just me, or does the newly rendered Planet Vulcan look like something out of a level from Quake?

      If you look carefully, the rocket launcher is on top of a pillar in the background to the left.

  2. Woo hoo! Select scene 1, loop, pop open a beer. by Rogerborg · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hurrah, now I can watch the best bits without wearing out my tape. Specifically, the first two minutes: that spine shivering D7 battlecruiser flyby intro, and the sterling example of a thorough Klingon scientific investigation: "Visual! Tactical! Stand by torpedoes! Fire! [pause, oops] Evasive!"


    After that though, the boring old Federation Dudley Dorights take over, and it all kind of goes downhill from there. ;)

    I suppose it takes up two DVDs because the thing is so long, drawn out and boring.

    Help! Say it isn't true! They've taken the limping snail's pace of the first Star Trek Movie and made it longer?!

    This is not a good sign...

    This should have been called "Star Trek : The Slow Motion Picture". Terrible.

    I have an idea... we all hate the MPAA, right?

    But we all like Star Trek, right?

    Why don't we just buy a single "community copy" of the new Star Trek DVD, and share it!

    The MPAA will hate it, and we'll all see the movie. :)

    you're probably right. if they didn't waste about two hours oohing and aahing over the enterprise in "dry-dock" and hired some actors it probably wouldn't have been so horribly nauseating.

  9. The one thing I cannot figure out... by SparkyMartin · · Score: 2, Funny

    is why are they all wearing their pajamas in STTMP?

    Slashdot user #1: The actions of the MPAA in trying to restrict free speech and stifle scientific research are unconscionable. Let's hit them where it hurts - in the wallet - and refuse to buy their products until they respect their consumers!

    Slashdot user #2: ooh look, a new Star Trek DVD!!
