Star Trek: Nemesis Trailer to Premiere Tonight
savagexp writes "Dark Horizons is reporting that the trailer for the next Star Trek movie will premiere tonight on Entertainment Tonight and via the official website tonight at 7:30 EST." Makes me wish I could stomach
ET, or at least had some real bandwidth. Hopefully it'll get placed in
front of some of the movies coming in the next few weeks (maybe MiB2?)
I guess I'll have to wait a while longer.
Scene:
Picard: Fire photon torpedo's
Yoda: Diverts torpedo's with a wave of his paw.

Now you'll have to excuse me, the perpetual motion machine is a little loud, and needs to be oiled.
This is great news. I really like Star Wars Trek Seaquest Man 9 Bot Mon Adventures! The only think better would be a showdown between Major Kirk and Captain Skywalking!
... the first time I use my TiVo to fast forward through a show so I can watch the commercials.
And the men who hold high places must be the ones who start

The franchise is beyond lame, bled of all creativity by corporate vampires, and should have been put down a decade ago when it still had some class and style.
Wow... the IS a use for IPIX

Hum...
So they have the blue screen of death in the 24 century still?!!!!! Sheech.
At least they wont need a planet this time to reactivate him!
So rip it and post it dude... Man... I have to think of everything...

If a tree falls on an anonymous coward yelling 'first post' in the forest, does anybody hear?
you forgot one (from snatch ;)
Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this instance by an 'orrible cunt... me!
Eloi are stupid, throw morlocks at them!
"Dark Horizons is reporting that the trailer for the next Star Trek movie will premiere tonight on Entertainment Tonight and via the official website tonight at 7:30 EST."
/. mentions EST, I find it 99.999% likely that the time is actually EDT, especially given that the US is on Daylight Savings time.
Data: Captain, although
Picard: Well put, Data. That is precisely why the Federation uses the Stardate time standard.
Guinan: More oil, Data, honey.
Great. They've been Slashdotted. I can just see Commander Data drumming his fingers on the console waiting for the hourglass to go away.
"Derp de derp."
Can't we just have a whole pile of jpegs and flick through them by hand?

Plot: The Ribbon comes swooping by early 21st Century San Francisco and deposits a young Wesley Crusher in the famous rainbow-striped shirt at the corner of Haight and Ashbury. The story unfolds as he battles depression, overcome that the once-hip intersection is now dominated by a huge Starbucks, serving only Earl Grey, hot, and Mint Tea, hot, with a Ben and Jerry's across the street. He retreats to a small internet cafe and spends the next twenty years working on his blog, and occasionally visiting Gracie the whale at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which for some reason has been moved ninety miles to the City. At the age of 37, Wesley's snatched out of the oncoming path of a hurtling Suliban-driven MUNI bus by a Traveler from another time, who does some weird magic with his hands and looks despondent, and suddenly they're both in a huge City in the far-distant future, where everything is destruction and decay, and all the citizens are dead. "This wasn't supposed to happen," says the Traveler. Roll credits
For what it's worth you can just go ahead and abbreviate that to FWIW - everyone here will understand. You have been assimilated.
Picard: Fire photon torpedo's
Fire photon torpedo's what?
Yoda: Diverts torpedo's with a wave of his paw.
I think you've confused Yoda and Dogbert.

As a matter of fact, I am a lawyer. But I play an actor on TV.

Synopsis: A band of gay space gnomes, aboard the U.S.S. Fellow Ship (get it, fellow, ship, heh heh) team up with the Lucasfilm Muppets(tm) to kill the one guy on the bridge of the Enterprise which nobody knows (and hence won't miss when he dies).
A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

Is it the Odd numbered ones that suck or even. I think it the Odd. =)
I think what we're really all waiting for is the (anti-)climatic conflict between Storm Troopers (who can't shoot) and red shirts (who must die).
Generations - They could have done so much between the casts and didn't
Screw that - what made Generations so bad was a plot hole big enough to fly the entire Federtion fleet through all at once.
Let's see, distress call at station, Enterprise goes to help, bad guy abucts Geordi and blows up star, getting away. Eventually, they track him down, Picard goes to planet, fails to stop him, sucked into Nexus. While in Nexus, Picard can travel to ANY point in time? Does he go back to back in orbit, knowing where to use torpedos/phasers to destroy the launch site? Does he go back to just when the star explodes, so they can head STRAIGHT to the destination planet, beating the other ship? Or, even more intelligently, does he go back to when they first arrive at the station, so they can toss the bad guy in the brig, search the station, find the torpedo set to destroy the star, and prevent the whole thing?
OF COURSE NOT. We go back to just a couple minutes ago, with an overweight, horrible actor playing a previous Enterprise captain, at a time when they still have a really tough time defeating the enemy - never mind that they could be totally aware that, should they screw up, they'd go back into the Nexus to try again, and again, and again.
Why go back to that moment? It makes absolutely no sense, unless you're deliberately trying to make stopping the bad guy as DIFFICULT as possible.
Oh, and BTW, First Contact's huge plot hole? The Borg could simply have sent the probe back in time at some other place in the galaxy, not having alerted the federation to their plans, therefore, not having had any challenge to their assimilation. But then again, adding time travel instantly makes it insanely difficult to prevent plot holes, due to the way things can work out.
I thought Insurrection was the best of the three because of the comparative lack of plot holes.

I am staying in the office waiting for the Star Trek trailer, on the excuse that
1) 7pm the carpool is lifted, and
2) it's only a "half hour" wait, and
3) office connection is about 1.8x that of the DSL at home.
i am so glad there is no "pathetic loser" mod.
My life in the land of the rising sun.
