    Brave New World is getting a Brave New Remake. Hopefully this one is better than the two existing films. http://www.blastr.com/2016-8-11/comics-writer-grant-morrison-adapting-brave-new-world-syfy

    Hard comparison to make, the best of both of them is very very good while the worst of both of them is very very bad. I really didn't like Enterprise till the 4th season and the mini-arcs while DS9 was horrible till the Dominion war bit kicked in.

    First post said for looks, "The SMIRK" in particular. EDIT - caps not meant to be an insult in any way.

    Only in a Dr. Who sort of way. You know, the kind where 3 different versions of Atlantis exist. > If I remember Turnabout Intruder right -- it's been years since I watched any TOS -- It was never implied that women could not be captains or even that they were discouraged from doing so There is a DIRECT quote saying they could not and Kirk did not contradict the one making the quote. So no, women could not be captains in TOS. As pointed out by Petro - the powers that be decided to ignore it in Enterprise.

    Turnabout Intruder - Direct quote. A whole long discussion on it here where at least some trekkies try to claim it was only the delusional mind of Janice Lester - but as is rightly pointed out Kirk does not contradict her and instead sympathizes. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8987229

    Since it is in the original timeline and has a female lead all I'm really wondering is if they are going to keep to the cannon regarding females not being allowed to be a starship captain.

    Your kidding right? For the makers of the movie to call anyone who didn't like the idea of the movie misogynists and then make a character that is blatantly a racist portrayal (in the trailer) and then say "so what?" I'm not saying there were not a number of blatantly sexist posts out there about the first trailer - but that does not excuse the trailer. Can't comment on the movie since after seeing that trailer I have no intention of watching it.

    A young Tom Cruise is the only one that comes to mind. I don't keep track of modern stars anymore...

    The only shows with a "lead" character were the original Star Trek and Enterprise. The others were ensemble shows.
  10. Dynaman
    No - it was doomed by a crass attempt at being PC and then making the black character such a massive stereotype(*) it backfired horribly. (*) - at least in the first trailer, which was truly cringe-worthy.

    Don't think it will happen, watching almost all of those old shows just reinforces how old they are. An exception has to be made for "The Honeymooners" and I'm sure there are others but none comes to mind. The mindset of the fifties that most of these old shows are from just doesn't translate well to modern taste. I do watch some from time to time on youtube since it is an incredible sort of video time capsule.

    > and the TV series is far from memorable Pardon? One of THE classics from the early days of TV is far from memorable? Before my time but to dismiss a cultural icon like that is wrong. I was a Wild Wild West fan too but I would never say it was anywhere near TLR in terms of popularity.
  13. Dynaman
    Have to take exception to number 9. Although not a good movie by any stretch "Wild WIld West" is better then "The Lone Ranger". No plans on ever seeing Jonah Hex so I can't comment on that one.

    You two may but most do not. Studios have noted this trend and respond to it. This is not to say that things do not change - the recent August hits of Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy have opened up the late summer as a contender time frame now. I also remember when Christmas was strictly for holiday movies and Halloween was for horror films and now horror films and big pictures are released at Christmas as well. All of this has to do with work and school schedules and network TV show schedules that are becoming less and less relevant year by year. Or to cut to the chase - someday soon blockbusters may very well end up being released year round.

    I'm hoping they get another shot with a lower budget. I think it is partly when the film was released - Trek is not a strong enough franchise to be put into mid summer like it was.
  16. Dynaman
    Those who hate Nue Trek are probably going to be happy, with the numbers on this film roughly half those of the first film after this long of a release (and a larger production budget) this has a very good chance of being the last of them.

    Just watched this today and although it was not actually a good movie it was far better than I expected. The problem was they went for the cheap joke every time instead of letting something go without a joke in order to set up a good joke later. I guess that is the definition of an Adam Sandler movie. It had a lot of video game nostalgia but so does Wreck it Ralph and that is an excellent movie.

    You guys are over thinking the AT-ATs, all they are is Elephants on Steroids.
  19. Dynaman
    Sorry guys that thing is actually worse than the Discovery.

    I do remember - and the Enterprise D is now the second worst design in Trek (for a ship the show is based on). I also remember it took 3 seasons for TNG to get any good - most of those first 2 seasons worth of episodes are cringe worthy. So I can wait a season for this show to appear on some other service.
  21. Dynaman
    My take, enjoyable but it dragged a bit in the middle. I will be looking forward to watching it on demand however (I'm up to purchasing movies online rather than on Blu-Ray from now on)
  22. Dynaman
    Oh my, somebody should have thought about the initials for the name of the show (read that over on the Star Trek website)
  23. Dynaman
    Looked like bad video game FX.
  24. Dynaman
    I didn't think it could get and dumber, I was wrong.

    Good old Asylum, I have not heard of one of their movies in months!
