I don’t get it. Ever. I am not one of you pathetic loser, queer, geek, nerds who gives a rat’s ass about anything related to Star trek, which only has a mediocre cult following and is quickly losing that, too. I have always loved astronomy, but I get laid. Poor you. All of you. Pathetic.

December is too far away. Will make a nice Birthday/Christmas gift, though.

So funny that fans could possibly be worried about some kind of stable “canon” being maintained across 40 or so years of Star Trek shows, movies and spinoff TV shows.

The original series didn’t even have a “canon” since the people at NBC probably reasoned that the individual episodes of this late night campy scifi TV series would never be seen again comparatively, never mind go into endless syndicated repeats.

For what it’s worth, as a fan I don’t consider anything beyond the fourth Trek movie to be “canon”, especially Next Gen, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise. Sure I watched many episodes of those mostly-awful series, but they haven’t aged well and sure as heck don’t hold a candle to the goofy fun of the original series that inspired them. On the other hand, I don’t get my panties in a bunch that Paramount slapped the name “Star Trek” on those awful series, any more than I’m upset about all the crappy licensed Trek “novels” cramming science fiction bookshelves…

I haven’t read through all the posts yet, but how about this: They make any old movie they want to, and then at the end, after the credits, the screen lights up, and the camera pans around to reveal a movie theater with Shatner, Nimoy, and whoever else is still around (and a bunch of red shirts), sitting in the front row. As they get up and file out, one of them says “Was there *anything* in that movie that was historically accurate?” Another of the group replies “No, but it was fun.”

For the record, I loved the teaser.

All the people complaining absolutely astound me.

YOU. KNOW. NOTHING. You don’t know ANYTHING concrete about what this movie is going to be about. All you know is the cast, the characters, the film crew, and some vague idea of “it’s set in multiple time periods and has Romulans in it”. And judging by Mr “OMGZtheEnterpriseisbeingbuiltintheteaserthatmeanstheyrethrowingoutTEHCANNON!!!11″ up the top of the comments, it looks like a lot of you don’t even know THAT. (Captain Pike will be in the movie, played by Bruce Greenwood.)

The way that absolutely ANY new development will invariably set off a couple of dozen people wailing “OH NOES, the sky is falling!!!” absolutely sickens me. No wonder Star Trek has such a bad reputation. With fans like these, who needs antis?
