Orrrrr, along these same lines, he's playing that thing that the Enterprise D gave birth to in "Emergence"

Nah, he's clearly a shoe-in for the role of a two-dimentional life form trying to make its way back to its home in a cosmic string. It'll mesh perfectly with the 3D Paramount wanted added.

Something like how the Joker is hinted at at the end of Batman Begins.

If it does happen, let's hope it goes like that and not the Phoenix hint at the end of X2.

A lot of things changed when they went into full production (even Kirk's name), but it's funny to see that yes, Shatner's shirt does gets ripped at every opportunity.

As someone pointed out to me, the last scene in the Japanese trailer isn't only a visual cue to WoK but also has the characters reversed. Spock appears to be outside the chamber, and Kirk (or whoever is in green or a darker uniform) appears to be inside and bloodied.

Looks like Uhura's hand to me.

You can also reroute power through the plasma conduits into the deflector dish and make a mean cheese omelet.

No, that's from another classic science fiction story.

I think that "brig" looks more like an medical isolation chamber. The kind of place a crewman might be put after he was exposed to super-duper space gamma rays or some poo poo. Also, the expressions they have don't really read as "captive" and "captor" so much as Cumberbach looks like he's saying "what the gently caress, Jim, I feel fine".

Exposed to inappropriate levels of solar galactic barrier energy he becomes the quadrant's smartest man. Solving mytseries and righting wrongs by day, while trying to stay one step ahead of the murderous Starfleet agent known as Ron Silver by night, his only companion is his redshirt bunkmate, who was merged with a shuttlecraft by an incompetent transporter chief.

You know, considering we now have "professional" fan productions like Star Trek New Voyages that feature actual cast members, I would kill for something like a web series with Jonathan Frakes as Riker trying to pick up chicks to satisfy weird fetishes that Troi won't perform.

Because she knows them before he can consciously conceive them.

I still think the best idea for a web series would be a sitcom featuring Miles O'Brien and the Kost Amojan possessing his wife.

Star Trek V is bad because it was implemented badly by people who didn't have the budget or talent to match their ambitions but its heart is in the right place. Nemesis is bad because it's a boring cash-in on a dying franchise with contempt for its fanbase. It has no heart and no right place to put it.

What is this Nemesis? Everyone knows that Galaxy Quest was a great send-off to the franchise.

Yeah man screw any movie that wants to explore interesting cinematic camera angles. Would you prefer the whole movie was shot in boring rear end shot reverse shot?


I kind of like it. It's obviously a funeral scene and I think that color grading adds a bit of solemness to the whole thing. It sets the emotional tone even more-so than without it.

Isn't the whole point of film to do storytelling with images? Do people no longer understand this?

You can't stay true to the spirit of TOS with digital colour grading. You need to do it with massive amounts of gel-coated light all over your sets. And that thing where you shine thin bands of light directly at yours actors' eyes.

JJ Abrams should know this. When he wanted lens flares, he did it the old-fashioned way, by standing out of frame and waving high-powered flashlights at the camera.

The Kelvin being so outmatched by the Narada probably jump started Starfleet's R&D budget.

Hopefully, here! Surely you people wise in the way of cinematography have more stories about Star Trek stuff?

In The Way of the Warrior, a feature-length episode of DS9, the writers wanted more ships than they could afford to do with existing motion capture techniques. Instead of compositing in ships from stock footage or reducing the scale of the battle sequences, the effects supervisor for the episode placed ships printed onto transparencies in the far background.

When Geordi and Jellico talk about their days as junior officers piloting shuttles inside the solar system, Jellico brings up the 'Titan turn', where they'd would bank hard into the gravity well of the moon and slingshot themselves up to 0.7c.

So they did remember the no-warp thing from time to time.

I don't quite get the "Across Federation" part. The Federation is about 50-60 years across? How does anyone ever go outside Federation space?

That column is broken. A ten thousand light-year gap, crossed at the speed of light, somehow takes one hundred thousand years?
