  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.

      --- Hot Shot City is particularly good.
  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. ;)

    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.

    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.

  7. 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!!
