<div>I was somewhat young when Star Trek premiered, but my folks seemed to be heavy into watching them. Also, I knew other folks who watched. So, I watched a lot. <br/> <br/>What I find fascinating is how some of the imagery showed up in my early nightmares and fevered imagination. <br/> <br/>For example (yoinked from the other thread), I used to have nightmares about the woman who had no face from "Charlie X." I found myself in her place, suffocating, trying to scream, but unable to do anything, just to blindly grope my way around until I died. <br/> <br/>I used to also have nightmares that I later realized came from imagery in "Empath." Images of people being suspended in the air and tortured for no discernible reason. I would dream I couldn't help them, that they cried out for me, but that I couldn't do anything, couldn't say anything. <br/> <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Anybody else perplexed about what to do with their Trek tapes? <br/> <br/>I have a TOS set from back when they came out.

<div>Yes, really. Greg Grunberg told Wil that JJ Abrams needed voice actors for the new Trek. Wil loves both voice acting and Star Trek, so he did it in a heartbeat. Pretty much every Romulan in the new Trek (except Nero) is a somewhat altered version of Wil Wheaton's voice, though one is his voice completely without alteration. <br/> <br/>They thought it would be funny if they kept it a secret and so they didn't tell anybody that it was him and left him out of the credits. But JJ mentions it on the audio commentary and that has been floating around the internet, so he and Wil decided that now was an okay time to reveal the secret. Wil's blog post about it would seem to imply that he IS in the credits for the home video release, but don't quote me on that. <br/> <br/>http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwilwheaton.typepad.com%2Fwwdnbackup%2F2009%2F11%2Fin-which-a-fairly-major-secret-is-made-secret-no-more.html&amp;h=01f356bdddd96c248c2abff951b31d96 <br/> <br/>In my opinion, this makes an already incredibly awesome movie even more awesome.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Are there any other Chicago area Star Trek fans who where supposed to go the the William Shatner meet and greet Expo at the Portage Theater on Sept 4th 2009?? ( http://www.startrekchicago.com/ ) This event was canceled last minute and refund were supposed to go out. I have been in contact with some member of "Prestige" who set up the event and it looks like us fans may never get our refunds. Is there anyone else out there who was robbed by these people or anyone who can help out??? <br/>Here is an email i Received from Prestige below: <br/> <br/>Kevin, <br/> <br/>Although we are incorporated that doesn't mean we are rich. We took a $6000.00 loss on the entire event. We still owe alot of people including yourself. It is our intention to pay each person off one by one as we can afford to. The Shatner people come first, ahead of all the publications we owe for advertising. <br/> <br/>We owe approximately $3800.00 in Shatner refunds. <br/> <br/>The form you signed clearly stated 90 days, and the letter accompanying that form stated the refund processing would not begin until after the Sept 4 and 5 2009 event. <br/> <br/>In all honesty unless something changes for the corporation we will have to file bankruptcy, in which case you will probably never see a refund. I can guarantee if anyone attempts to file suit against us, Shatner people or other companies we owe money to, we will file for bankruptcy. <br/> <br/>On a good note, there is a website that clearly slandered us. We believe that website contributed to the failure of the event, and the low ticket sales for William Shatner. This caused us a loss, and a loss for yourself. We are in the process of filing a lawsuit against that website. Any settlement from that suit would be applied to the people that are owed refunds. Of course court actions can take years. <br/> <br/>It is our intention to pay every Shatner holder back for their purchase, however, I cannot place a timeline on it. It is our hope to pay everyone back by the end of this year. However, it might be longer than that. If anyone tries to sue us, we will claim bankruptcy for legal protection. Kevin, at this point our company has $5.00 in its bank account, that's it. The shareholders are struggling to keep it alive. People owe us money also, and we have to go after them. It's just the way it is <br/> <br/> <br/>Respectfully, <br/>Daniel R.

This is a very up close and personal event. The ticket includes a meet and greet with Mr. Shatner, a commemorative photo (limited edition), a 30 min Q &amp; A Session, and a double feature screening of The Wrath Of Khan and The Search For Spock on Saturday Sept 5, 2009 beginning at 8pm.

<div>I've always liked the idea that Starleet adopted the U.S.S. Enterprise assignment patch as the broader emblem for all of Starfleet after the phenomenal success of the starship's initial five-year mission. <br/> <br/>So now, enter the new movie, <br/> <br/>I can accept that the symbol was initially used as the assignment patch for the U.S.S. Kelvin prior to the construction of the Enterprise (don't like it, but I can accept it), but then why would Starfleet Academy be using the symbol BEFORE the Enterprise was even launched? <br/> <br/>I supposed that in the Alt.

<div>Just saw the new film last night. My thoughts ... <br/> <br/>1. The basic idea of creating an event in the Trek: Prime universe (destruction of Romulus) which creates an alternate reality -- i.e Trek: Subordinate film -- is really very brilliant. You can re-explore the iconic characters without having to worry one iota about any contradictions to the canon of the Prime universe. MUCH better idea than just re-doing everything like WILLY WONKA, KING KONG, and PLANET OF THE APES did. <br/> <br/>2. Beta was interesting in spots, outright fun in others, and a total blast in still others, but I'll always be a child of Trek: Prime. 35 years of conditioning doesn't switch off just like that. Plus, there's really no reason to have to choose really. They are two separate realities. Why muddy the water with comparisons? I'm just going to let them each be what they are. <br/> <br/>3. The engineering sections of both the Kelvin and the Enterprise were (a) waaaay to large, and (b) way too industrial. Rivets, steel car-walks, and water pipes? Come on! <br/> <br/>4. Nice to see the Romulans without the ridiculous superorbital ridges that they gained in TNG. They've looked lame for a long time. <br/> <br/>5. Does the destruction of Romulus violate Trek: Prime canon? Has there EVER been mention of Romulus in any post-NEMESIS episode or storyline? Or is it's destruction kopacetic? <br/> <br/>6. Excellent casting and acting in the new flick. Especially from Karl Urban (McCoy) and Zach Quinto (Spock). <br/> <br/>7. I'm cool with the new kid on the block.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 21 replies </div>

<div>The discussion about the new film is spawning some chat about ENTERPRISE, so I decided to start anew thread ... <br/> <br/>ENTERPRISE, in my opinion, had the potential to be a top-notch show. The setting especially, was a gold mine. The time period in which it took place was fantastic! Coming to terms with the Vulcans ... meeting the Andorians and Tellarites for the first time ... dealing with the fallout of the Eugenics Wars ... etc. It was really a rich time period in which to tell stories. <br/> <br/>It had other plusses as well: <br/> <br/>1. good set design (loved the Enterprise interiors) <br/>2. multi-episode story arcs <br/>3. Porthos! <br/>4. great intro credit visuals <br/>4. Phlox, Trip, and the MACOs <br/> <br/>But there were sooo many other factors that brought it down: <br/> <br/>1. the overemphasis on sex appeal <br/>2. the grey-purple uniforms <br/>3. the ridiculous toy phasers <br/>4. some really BAD acting (hello Mr. Bakula and Mr. Montgomery) <br/>5. a mind-numbingly lame theme song <br/>6. and an over-dependence on connecting with TOS concepts <br/> <br/>Given what it COULD have been, it's by far the most disappointing incarnation of Trek that I can think of. Well actually ... there is the 5th movie ... so ... <br/> <br/>: ) <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 15 replies </div>

I don't let it influence my decision on if I am going to see the Movie or not. <br/> <br/>That being said <br/>Harry Knowles over at Aintitcool.com really enjoyed the film (THAT is a pretty heffty endorsement my friends) as well contribuitng writer Quint <br/>Then there are a number of reviews from people lucky enough to see the advanced screening in Austin too.

<div>The conversation about holo-technology and positronic brains in the other post got me wondering about all the episodes of Trek where "something" happens with the holodeck, or Data, or the transporters that really pushes the bounds of what has previously been established regarding the parameters of those technologies. (i.e. "Thomas Riker", "Moriarty", "evil Kirk", etc.) <br/> <br/>So, my question is ... do these kinds of things happen with TODAY'S technology? I mean, do we see "ghosts" in today's machines that cause things to happen which were unforeseen, unpredictable, and "impossible"? It may not be creating sentient beings out of photons, or splitting one being into two, but can we see a precedent for Trek's liberties in today's technologies?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div> <br/>http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2009/02/star-trek-exper.html <br/> <br/> <br/>Once left for dead just off the The Strip, Star Trek: The Experience is set to reopen in its new downtown Las Vegas home on May 8 -- just in time for the big opening of J.J. Abrams' new film. <br/> <br/>According to comments from CBS and Paramount, The Experience will return to Vegas with new shops and restaurants near Fremont Street (above). <br/> <br/>As originally reported by Wired.com, the Neonopolis, a multi-purpose entertainment center, will serve as the The Experience's new dock. <br/> <br/>While the attraction will open in time for the Trek movie premiere, it will take time to move museum artificacts, rides and other attractions into the space. The Experience isn't expected to hit warp speed until 2010.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>By MICHAEL HINMAN <br/>Feb-04-2009 <br/>http://syfyportal.com/news426032.html <br/> <br/>The Klingon invasion is happening a bit earlier than expected, as one of the warriors is apparently trying to raise cash by robbing 7-Elevens in Colorado Springs, Colo. <br/> <br/>Police there say they are looking for a man who knocked off two of the convenience stores using a Klingon bat'leth, a weapon made famous after it was first introduced on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." <br/> <br/>The first robbery took place just before 2 a.m. local time, according to KMGH in Denver, by a white male in his 20s wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and wearing a black mask who demanded money. Then just before 3 a.m., he hit a second store, demanding money from the clerk, but not getting any. <br/> <br/>No one was hurt in the robberies. <br/> <br/>The bat'leth was originally designed by Dan Curry, a visual effects supervisor on "Next Generation" at the time, who now holds a similar position with "Chuck" on NBC. According to Trek lore, Kahless the Unforgettable forged the first bat'leth during the 9th century. He cut a lock of his hair, and dropped it into the lava of the Kri'stak volcano, then plunged the burning lock into the Lake of Lusor, and twisted it into the blade. He then used the bat'leth to fight Molor, according to Memory Alpha. <br/> <br/>Nearly all bat'leths in circulation are harmless, but some of the weapons designed by fans can have sharp edges, which combined with their weight, could cause injury. <br/> <br/>Police in Colorado Springs are still looking for the robber, who fled both scenes on foot. Apparently his transporter was down.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>One of the things that I remember about Star Trek is that they never seemed to celebrate earth-based holidays. I know it's all supposed to take place 400 years in the future or more but, holidays have been around for a long time. They'd introduce alien holidays, but not Federation holidays. <br/> <br/>So, do you think they celebrated thanksgiving in the Federation? What do you think it looked like? Or would look like on the Enterprise?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 19 replies </div>

<div>Have you seen the episodes of the Original Series that have the special effects updated/"tweaked" ala George Lucas' efforts of the orginal Star Wars Trilogy? <br/> <br/>Over on...I think...the Main Trek Website they tell you what episodes are going through or have gone through an updating of special effects and they compare shots from the orginal episode to the updated one and I have to say...the effects and looks are pretty impressive! <br/>The new effects range from a realistic "look" of the planet(s) the the Enterprise goes into orbit at the beginning of an episode, cleaner look for the outside of the Enterprise, a much more realistic look and often extended views planet-side when the crew beams down, the phasers and photon topedos, etc, etc.... <br/> <br/>One of the episodes I managed to catch over on Nick At Night early one morning was "Doomsday Machine" and I thought it looked really good! Especially where it showed the destroyed "Intrepid"? (I think that was the ship, not sure) and the updated effects of the Intergalactic Killing Machine (Side note...not sure if anyone knows this or not? This is my inner Star Trek Nerd/Geek coming to the fore...did you know that in one of the early Novels of The Next Generation that dealt with the Borg it was explained that the Doomsday Machine was a device used in the war against The Borg? Just a little trivia...also, it's to bad that that was never mentioned or pursued in the series or any of the Movies :( ) <br/> <br/>Gone are the orginal "Cheesy" 60-ies special effects! <br/> <br/>So, what is your opinion? <br/>Great idea and love the updated newer, sleeker approach? <br/>Or "Man, they are fucking with the whole classic look of the series!!!" <br/>I would like to see Paramount release a series of DVD's where you have the option of watching both/either or on the same Disc</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>Let me first begin by saying that I AM a Star Trek fan! <br/>As I have mentioned in a few previous postings here....I enjoy(ed) The Original Series (I like what has been done recently wih the updating of the special effects! If you get a chance to watch these episodes? I recomend it! It's fun to see what had been done with the origianl series! :) ). The Next Generation, Deep Space 9....Voyger and Enterprise? Ehhhhhhh....so-so.... <br/>I also have enjoyed reading many of the Trek Novels too <br/> <br/>What annoys me about Trek is the lack of continuity or "cannon" if you will <br/>I was annoyed with the explanation of the way the Klingons looked form the Original Series compared to the Movies and series ranging from Next Gen all the way up to Enterprise (Worf saying (this is NOT verbatim) "I Don't want to talk about it"). In one of the Novels I once read it was stated that there were once 5 different races of Klingons and then there was a Purge where the cabbage headed klingons became the ruling warrior class <br/> <br/>Or the explanation of Zeffram Cochran? <br/>Oy! There are like a hundred different versions of Cochrane!!! (I am being facetcious about the 100 part) From the Original series where he was stranded on that pne planet, to The Next Gen Movie "Frist Contact" to what I thought was THE best description/background on Cochrane, the novel "Federation" (which happens to be one of my favorite TOS/TNG crossover novels) <br/> <br/>These are just a few of the examples that really drive me nuts about the Trek Universe...between the Novels, the various Series and Movies <br/>Without the risk of sounding like a total Star Trek Nerd/Raging Fanboy...is it to much to ask for some constency here? <br/>It's all so Illogical <br/> <br/>Ha Ha!! <br/> <br/>What are your thoughts/opinions? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 14 replies </div>

<div>I had this dream three years ago...but it seems like it was only yesterday: <br/> <br/> <br/>Dreams. The final frontier. I had a doozy last night, lemmie tell ya. It started reasonably enough with me in the waiting room of some tattoo parlor. Suddenly this receptionist-type chick comes up to me and tells me, <br/> <br/>"Your regular tattooist is on vacation James. Replacing him today will be Dr. Leonard Mccoy. You're in good hands!" <br/> <br/>Oddly I didn't seem to give a crap, but then I quickly remembered who Dr. Leonard Mccoy was. I try to tell the receptionist-type chick, but she blithely &amp; happily ignores me. Typical dream character. <br/> <br/>Anyway sure enough Bones himself comes out gruffly motioning me into his...well it turned out to be his Sickbay on the Enterprise - replete with all the Trekkie beeps, lights &amp; whistles and all that shit. We proceed. <br/> <br/>The tattoo is coming along nicely. Mccoy seems confident and calm, but then all-of-a-sudden this peculiar expression comes over his face, and he starts to lose his shit like in that episode where he has temporary super mental ability to re-attach Spock's Brain, but loses it right in the middle of the procedure. Like he just has with me. Marvelous. I dare to look down, and the good doctor tries his best to block my view of this tattoo snafu, but I finally get a glimpse. To my horror he's stitched me up a severely shitty representation of the Enterprise on the inside of my forearm. And the asskicker? He also tattooed an angry X over the whole thing, and the word "OOPS!" underneath with an arrow pointing from the word to the shitty, X-ed out Enterprise. I remonstrated him, <br/> <br/>"You know you need to be more careful. This shit doesn't wash off with soap &amp; water you douchebag." To which he barked, <br/> <br/>"Dammit Jim! I'm a doctor, not a tattoo artist! Now shut-up I'm trying to concentrate!" <br/> <br/>Now I was really getting concerned. Mainly because I haven't been called Jim in a long time. And certainly never in this context. I decided to take my chances and try to bail, but as soon as I bolted from the chair Nurse fucking Chapel appeared holding my arm with one hand, and aiming a phaser at me with the other. A phaser I noticed that was set to kill (it had a big sign and another one of those annoyingly helpful arrows pointing to the word "kill"). <br/> <br/>After Bones was done fucking up my tattoo he tried re-assuring me that he'd take it up with Kirk, explaining mildly how the Captain would probably just find some advanced alien technology, distract everyone by sleeping with some alien chick, then use that technology to remove my tattoo. Nobody would be the wiser. It again sounded reasonable to me. <br/> <br/>It occured to me later when I was in Sickbay (oh yeah at the time there was this really weird alien dude in the bed next to me that I'm pretty sure was masturbating. He/she/it was rubbing it's elbow-protubence-thing-a-ma-jig, and mewling in this very disconcerting way. Tres unsavory, but I digress) that with all of this fancy-assed space technology they could just laser/phaser the goddamn thing off. Kirk didn't have to boink any alien 'tang after all. Then it further occured to me - why the whole dramatic issue with getting a simple tattoo right in the first place? Can't a computer and/or robot take care of that shit - no fuss no muss? <br/> <br/>That seemed to break the spell. I awoke after that. <br/> <br/>It does make me wonder what it means (and also: what the hell is wrong with me et. al). Do I need to watch "Star Trek" some more (I haven't in ages)? Should I get another tattoo? Should I get a tattoo of the Enterprise? <br/> <br/>Should I sleep with some alien chick? <br/> <br/> <br/>(Of all of them I sure hope it's the last one.) </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Okay, so I finished TNG and am starting on DS9. My memories are dim on this one. I've just seen the first three eps and for some reason I thought those eps were a lot later on and not at the very beginning. Makes me wonder about the rest. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>Best to plan a Star Trek Marathon: <br/> <br/>"You folks heard it here first -- I'm going to ask for your help in spreading the word as well. Tribe.net will experience an outage NEXT THURSDAY September 4th from midnight to midnight. I'd rather wait until AFTER the outage to explain exactly what the outage is about, but it's definitely going to be a good thing for Tribe.net.

<div>I am curious to know what everyones opinions/thoughts/feelings on JJ Abrams upcoming new Star Trek movie? <br/>I am sure that by now everyone is aware of the "re-envisioning"/ "rebooting" of the Trek Franchise by the Creator of such TV shows as Alias, Lost and Fringe as well as one of the "Mission Impossible" Movies and "Cloverfield" (I actually liked "Cloverfield" for what it was worth...thought it was decent) <br/> <br/>What do you think of the leaked details on the "Plot" of the movie? <br/>What do you think of the Cast and Actors that have been chosen to portray Kirk, Spock, "Bones", Uhura, Sulu, Chekov and Scotty? <br/>What do you think of some of the recents photos that have been released to generate some buzz for the upcoming film? <br/> <br/>I myself am going to hold back any sort of judgement until I actually see the film itself <br/>There have been a number of times in the past where I have heard of the casting of an upcoming Big Budgeted film or heard details on what the film was going to be about and thinking....Man! This sounds like it is going to SUCK royally!! Only to be pleasently surprised alter on that the movie was pretty damn good! (Examples? "Hellboy", (the first) "X-men", "Bourne Identity", "Batman Begins".....just to name a few). <br/> <br/>As far as some of the recent Photos that have been released? <br/>I like what I see so far....Zachary Quinto looks spot-on like a younger version of Spock, the Actors portraying the younger versions of Kirk and "Bones" look pretty cool (those are going to be some BIG shoes to fill actor/character-wise!) and Zoe Saldana is looking like a Hottie version of a younger Uhura too!! :) <br/> <br/>I am also very curious as to how the New version of the Consitution Class Enterprise will look too...will it be the same as the beloved original series we all loved so much or will there be some "tweaking" for the re-envisioned movie? <br/> <br/>I like JJ Abrams and like most of the stuff he has done so far (the new tv show "Fringe" is pretty excellent) and I am hoping...as a true Star Trek fan that he does not manage to disappoint and piss off those of us who are hoping and keeping our fingers crossed for a movie that will not only kick-start a new series of moives but make us all happy and proud of what he has accomplished too</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://startrek.tribe.net">Star Trek</a> - 10 replies </div>
