Trey Parker and Matt Stone Save Enterprise

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the which-characters-will-dvda-in-season-five dept.

maotx writes "Paramount has agreed to permit Star Trek Enterprise to run for the fifth season which under normal circumstances, the sci-fi show would be impossible to produce with the reduced budget. Enter Star Trek fans Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, to save the day. The two will rename the show to "Team Enterprise" and will keep the voices of the original actors. With the lack of a budget for CGI effects the two will use a model of the Enterprise NX-01, thus reviving an old Star Trek tradition. "We prefer the look of physical, tangible models over CGI ships any day," Parker said. "Of course, we have no visual effects budget whatsoever, so we won't be painting out the strings. You'll get used to it. Still trying to figure out where to put the propeller." They then went on to comment: "We're also gonna re-do the opening title sequence," Stone revealed. "Record a new theme -- something bombastic, action-oriented. Y'know, something that isn't, like, totally gay.""

    Having mod points on April First is like having root on a broken computer: It might in theory give you some power, but there's no way to use it effectively.

      Agreed... I've got a bunch to use up, but I'm not doing it today unless they add a "-1: Bitter Old Man" rating so I can mod all those people who just don't get why April Fools is so fun.

      And...

      Getting modded on April First is like getting laid, it feels pretty cool that you don't have to be an actual geek to get it done, but later on you're embarrased about just how low you had to drop your standards to accomplish that task.

    William Shatner has, in fact, been played by one of these marionation puppets since 1996. The unlifelike sheen of his skin and the jerky speech patters are a dead give-away.
