Star Trek...

When I first saw that this was being made I facepalmed. But strangely, I find myself wanting to see this more and more to see what kind of a spin Abrams can put on it. I wouldn't exactly say I'm excited about it, but I am curious and will probably check it out.

I've been a Star Trek fan for a while now too. From TOS it was episodes like Errand of Mercy and Balance of Terror that I found I enjoyed the most. Campy yes, but still brimming with political intrigue and in the case of Balance of Terror, a fantasic starship duel lifted from an old WWII movie. From TNG it's I, Borg or The Defector, which were more sappy then cheesy really, but they always get me.
DS9, In the Pale Moonlight, no contest. Neither sappy nor cheesy, but I'd say my favorite Trek episode of all time, from any series. I has the Romulans at their best, intrigue out the yin yang, and a moral dilemma you'd never expect a federation captain to be grappling with.

I caught the trailer for the new movie at QoS like ngsilver, and I have to say it reminded me of none of those episodes. In fact the first thing that came to my mind was Nemisis, which was horrid. Even the CG effects looked too busy. That reminded me of the Star Wars prequels, in which battles did not flow so much as be smashed on the screen in one chaotic mess. No, I'm sorry to say I am not looking forward to this film

I'm excited, but I do wonder now that I know more about the story if this movie will have an Enterprise effect on the original storyline.

The movie isn't supposed to be a traditional prequel. It's a reboot.

I never got into TOS as i grew up on TNG and DS9. I would love a DS9 movie but i don't think that will happen. Everyone is too old now. It would be a bunch of old guys running around in diapers firing phasers. Not exactly the star trek i'm looking for. If they don't "reboot" the franchise, it will just die out. After Enterprise I don't think Paramount wants to risk another TV series.

I think it look great so far. I loved the serious nature of DS9 and the later TNG so i'm all for it. Because I never got into TOS, I'm even more excited because this movie will show those characters in a different light. It'll never replace the other movies though.

Enterprise wasn't supposed to be a traditional prequel either, and when the fans didn't like it, they then pushed general fanservice and that even seemed to fail as well.

They ignored set standards in the other series, and tried to pretend some events in the "star trek timeline" didn't happen... O.o

of course the fans and their paying attention and nitpicking have always been the bane of the writers....

I liked the first season of Enterprise but it never hooked me enough to watch it through to the end. I'm a treky but I'm not a hardcore fan so using some creative freedom to make it a little different is ok by me. As long as it feels like the star trek i'm used to, I'm all good.

I guess for me it felt too much like after Voyager after it went downhill with a crappy pop theme song... but that's my take on Enterprise...

I used to be a lot more "hardcore trekkie" than I am now... I'm still pretty over opinionated on the subject though... O.o

Please tell me i'm not the only one who's even more excited about the new Star Trek movie after seeing the new trailer?

I'm excited

It's not that I don't mind a reboot, hell, I LOVE the new Batman Movies, but those went back and did an adaption of the original story right. The problem I see with this new movie being a reboot is that it will change the story from the original, away from what I remember and grew up on.

Though I figure I'm going to eat the movie up. I just hope they take a que from Batman and make it good... well... without the batman voice.

Me too. I wasn't excited when I first heard about it and the casting, I'm still skeptical, but if nothing else I think that it'll be a good watch.
