The Captain Pike episode was one of the best.

You say rude, I call it "blunt".

I told you to get over it, because rewriting Trek history is nothing new, and if you want to enjoy this movie, "getting over it" might help.

Secondly...using time travel and alternate time scenarios to justify backstory differences can either be a good thing, or extremely cheesy.

That was not what happened in Enterprise. The trek history was rewritten in TNG and there is nothing that can be done about it. However, they did a good job of tying together the rewritten early history and up to TNG.

The story was great, the direction left something to be desired. Number 1 had less emotion than Commander Spock... I mean Spock even smiled.

CAPTAIN PIKE.

He was first to command the Enterprise.

Someone told me that they have sort of "re-written" Star Trek history.

If they have, it will SUCK big time.

I guess we will find out.

There I go taking this seriously. .......again.

The corvette scene, I think that had more to do with what they were saying about Kirk as a character. I think they are trying to make this movie somewhat "unlike" previous Star Trek pieces. Me, I am fine with that, so long as it is well done.

Hmmm..I wonder if anyone knows how they came up with 1701 for the ship number??

zombie1210, ducati_EL34, don't make me come taze you both!



Why don't you team up and supply a subtitle to this -

The only false start for me in the film is whom they chose for Scotty, Simon Pegg. I like Pegg but I don't see him in the role. All that said, I am pretty certain he will hit a home run and own the role from here on out. However, Paul McGillion would have been pitch perfect. Watched him enough on SG-Atlantis to feel he could have easily handled it. What's odd is that his name appears on the IMDB cast log for the new film and it turns out he was in the running for the role. I wonder what happened there? IMO, all of the characters do look plausible as young versions of the TOS cast w. the exception of Scotty. You can draw your own conclusions on Doohan, Pegg, & McGillion's resemblance -

Is anyone the least bit weirded out by Scotty being played by Simon Pegg?

Mind you, I think that Hot Fuzz was the funniest movie of that year and Shaun of the Dead the sillyist...

He's an odd pick IMO too but he must have shown something key to get the role.

Oh alright...

I think this will be the right size for the big guy.

One of my favorite episodes. And it has nothing to do with what Kirk has in his hands!
