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.

The public premier was last weekend in Tulsa at the Sci-Fi Con. I've got a 3" DVD of it that was given away at Tulsa.
Now you'll have to excuse me, the perpetual motion machine is a little loud, and needs to be oiled.

We're anti-MPAA, not anti-interesting movies.
If none of us liked movies, the MPAA couldn't piss us off.

According to the offical T3 site the T3 teaser will be playing in front of Men in Black.
Great. They've been Slashdotted. I can just see Commander Data drumming his fingers on the console waiting for the hourglass to go away.

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!

Let's look at the evidence:
Be who you are...and be it in style!
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).
Oh, time travel is so hackneyed, especially in the Trekverse. But more importantly, First Contact ruined the Borg. Well, OK, "I, Hugh" began the degeneration, but First Contact was the final nail in the coffin.
The original Borg was/were the only truly alien aliens in Trek. Their ships were ungraceful (for a reason). They violated bilateral symmetry. Their motives were so alien as to be impossible to even recognize as motives. They were implacable, nigh-omnipotent, and -- most important of all -- not like some subset of humanity with a bad nose. Indeed, they were a reasonable (sort of) extrapolation of Net technology, an honest answer to a what-if question, the best element of sci fi.
What made them stand out was their communal decemtralized mind... a true unified consciousness, something emergent from the individual entities contained in the Borg net. What did First Contact do? It fell for the cliche "hive mind", took a weak metaphor (social insects) and expanded it, somehow, into a concept even weaker. A Borg Queen? Please! The true Borg would have no truck with a queen, a king, a president, or anything that makes one part more significant/important than another.
Let's say it again, class: The true Borg are decentralized and distributed. A "Borg Queen" is the exact antithesis of what the Borg were.
Arrgh. It bothers me every time I think about it. Grrr.
