88Comrade2000 Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Do tell.... They had him pumped up on that Cuban coffee. I got his autograph and the picture and made my wallet lighter. It was bucket list item I was glad to finally do. I saw him at Trek convention back in 1996 but didn't have the $$$ for a photo op and autograph. Also, listened to his Q&A; he's funny as hell in those things. While waiting for him to yap, saw the FONZ's Q&A. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 http://www.treknews.net/2016/07/07/sulu-revealed-gay-star-trek-beyond/ seriously? I have nothing against having a gay character, but just because George Takei came out as gay doesn't mean Sulu needs to be gay. If only we had some point of reference for the carnal side of his character... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Actually, probably my favorite scene from TOS involved Uhura and Sulu. It's The Naked Time. (Shirtless Sulu with a sword.) Sulu comes to the bridge with his sword, and is threatening everybody on the bridge with it. Uhura tries to calm him, by approaching him soothingly. Sulu grabs her, and holds her to his side. "I'll protect you, fair maiden!" Uhura looks disgusted, and pushes him away. "Sorry, neither." (How they got permission to have that line, then, is beyond me.)

I was looking for that clip, but the one I found ended before he made it to the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 1701 News: 'New Voyages' Sets Will Open To Public There's a good chance that no more new episodes of the fan-film "Star Trek: New Voyages" will be produced. But that doesn't mean the meticulously constructed re-creation of the original "Star Trek" sets will sit in the dark. James Cawley, the producer behind "New Voyages," is now opening those sets to the public in Ticonderoga, New York. The project, which has been licensed by CBS Consumer Products, will begin July 30 and include guided tours and photo opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Around the 2:40 mark. "Sorry neither" was an ad lib I think. Unsure if "censors" at the time screened the show first though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) So I'm a little confused over the new series. Will it be on CBS? Or Netflix? (here in the states)... Nevermind...just read its on "CBS All Access". So another ****ing subscription only option to watch one ****ing show? No thanks. A pirates life for me.

Larry Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 No IMAX here. But sitting and waiting. Guess I'll miss Trump's speech. Man, the preview pic for that trailer: "The director of Fast and Furious" Yup, that's what draws me into a Star Trek movie. Well, seems like JJ thinks it's all about "how many little bitty things can ram the Enterprise at the same time?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well, about what I expected. Some really good one liners. Plot holes you could fly the Death Star through. Covered up by a ton of explosions, fights, and other special effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Well, I am back from the Star Trek Beyond. I liked the movie. It was better than the last one, though not as good as the first. Still, it left me satisfied and I will probably see it again. Elements of it felt like classic TOS. The one weakness of the movie: Lack of real development why Krall wanted the Federation gone.I was wondering that late in the film and then we get the all tooquick scene. Yeah, that probably would've added a half hourbut t would've been worth it. I'll give the movie a solid B+. They do acknowledge the passing of Leonard Nimoy'sSpock in the movie.Stay for the credits after all the actors are listed asthey acknowledge both Leonard's and Anton's passing.

@DCGoldPants Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 It was a good movie. I enjoyed it. I agree with what 2000 said in his spoiler comment. But it wasn't a deal breaker. The cast works well together. It was already shame that Anton passed away. He did a great job with his character. More depth there. Spock/McCoy was great. The Fx is really strong now. I hope they find ways to keep making movies in this universe. Even it's not with the enterprise crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
