[...] I was glad to see both Scicurious and Dr. Isis sing Star Trek’s praises. Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy is a huge Trek fan, even having debates about the show with Wil “Wesley Crusher” Wheaton. [...]

I saw the trailers from the DrudgeReport site. Wesley in the clown sweater is no match for Uhuru without hers. This looks like Star Trek Ticky Tacky, or maybe Star Dreck, a mish-mosh cobbed together for teen-age panters. Or maybe a “Beverly Hills 1701″. All of which I can do without.

One of the links on the Official Site is “skip trailer”. I’ll do them one better. I’ll skip the movie.

What I have learned reading this comments:

Charles will hold on to his infancy?

They could have done another Next Generation, but did not?

I never watched much of the origninal series, but is “manual override not working” the equivalent of vital ship functions going “off-line” in next-gen? Shields, weapons, engines, always “off-line” at the vital moment. Don’t know why they didn’t just switch ‘em back on. That’s what I do when my printer is off-line!

“…because the episodes were so mutually contradictory that the only way to be a Trek fan and not lose your mind is to be a bit lenient in the self-consistency department.”

The only inconsistency in the classic TV series of which I can think is from the very first episode, where Kirk says to McCoy “Perhaps you should take a lesson from Mr Spock, doctor… stop thinking with your glands!” This from the man who went on to become perhaps the most glandular captain in the history of Star Fleet.

Other than that, I found the show very consistent; red shirted extras always died, Manual Override never worked and Kirk would either romance a hot alien chick or get his shirt off at least once an episode.
