Pat Payne Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) Legit concept art? Please tell me that big piece of ugly is another April Fool's joke OK, it was a joke... they got lucky this time, grrrr... If there are three things that should never be messed around with they are Beethoven's Fifth, Beowulf, and the design of the TOS and movie-era Enterprises.

Guest sh002 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 So this will take place between Enterprise and the original series? I think I have a ST book that has concept art or some starships before the classic Enterprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiriK Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 i didn't see anything wrong with the april fool's design... kinda looked like something else we've already seen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight26 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I kind of like the april fools design, but not as the original kirk enterprise, I see it more like what the mirror universe enterprise should have looked at given what was shown in Enterprise. Think about it, that design is about 100 years beyond the kirk era, and in enterprise, the mirror universe archer captured a connie class, which was about 100ys beyond them correct? So it would make perfect sense that their tech level would look like that by the mirror universe kirk timeframe right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big F Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I agree with this, since that TV Enterprise was really out of whack time-wise.... Yeah that was one of the things that spoilt Enterprise as a series. I considered it more like a reboot itself. I make no bones that since they seriously started to play with the mirror universe concept in DS9 I have for the most part prefered it to the "normalverse" now if they did a series about the Mirrorverse I watch it. Right now th eonly thing that gets my interest is the fan made "Five Year Mission" and the very occasional rerun episode depending on which one it is.

Boxer Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Having turrets on the enterprise somehow inspires a steampunk-like design for the classic ship. Otherwise, thumbs down for this design. Not only is it ugly (Repulsive cuts in the saucer section), but isn't there some law against messing with matt Jeffrey's design? After all, Rodenberry approved the origional version because it didn't have external piping or rocket engines that were so prevelant of the time.

Fly4victory Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 if they did a series about the Mirrorverse I watch it. I wish they would release all the "mirrorverse" on a DVD set like they did with select Klingon stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 If anything, they'll leave out some "Mirrorverse" episodes (not sure how many there are total, though) just to ensure you buy some series season box sets. I bought the Klingon set, and I realized later there were some really good Klingon episodes left out, especially from the era of the Dominion War / Deep Space 9 Series, where we see Klingons in a time of war.

CoryHolmes Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) isn't there some law against messing with matt Jeffrey's design? Yeah. It's called, "You do NOT screw with the Enterprise, period." If you thought that the minor fervor about the TF designs is bad, just wait until Trekkies get up in arms over their beloved ship design.

Fly4victory Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Agree. While the Klingon set was good and felt it could have been better but will not buy the season boxed sets. Just to sell more Enterprise bet they would leave out CAPT Archer and the Defiant or the Mirrorverse war from DS9.

Warmaker Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Yeah. It's called, "You do NOT screw with the Enterprise, period." If you thought that the minor fervor about the TF designs is bad, just wait until Trekkies get up in arms over their beloved ship design. The movie Enterprise looks advanced also, finally using 80's special effects technology (in a Post Star Wars era). The movie version looked much more like a succeeding revision of the TOS Enterprise, and acted eventually as a wonderful medium between the TOS and TNG era. It was simple, sleek, beautiful, and still gave a presence of power as far as Trek ships go. As for the TOS Enterprise, well, this is before the snazzy effects of Star Wars and the 80's. It doesn't look as good in today's standards but the "rule" still applies to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowyunskinny Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 k, so first we got Zach Quinto as Spock then a few days ago they announced Eric Bana as the Villain and today a bunch of the usual movie news sites (AICN, Dark Horizons) are reporting John Cho as Sulu and Simon Pegg as Scotty. Pretty interesting cast so far. I'm not a huge Trek fan, and I know not everyone likes Abram's stuff, but I enjoy LOST & I thought his Mission Impossible was the best of the 3, so this movie has my $10.00 for a ticket for sure.

mikeszekely Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I could see John Cho as Sulu and Simon Pegg as Scotty. I don't know about that Spock, though. As for the April Fool's Enterprise, aside from the phaser turrets, it's honestly not too bad. For a reboot, it does sorta look like it could fill the gap between Enterprise and the TNG era.

HoveringCheesecake Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I used to be up in arms against this movie, but I'm warming up to it. I just hope they don't destroy the continuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 ... I just hope they don't destroy the continuity. Too late, First Contact and the whole Enterprise series already did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoveringCheesecake Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Too late, First Contact and the whole Enterprise series already did that. I don't think First Contact messed things up too much. Sure, it muddled with Cochrane's backstory, but in the end they restored the timeline. Of course, that means that in order for there to be warp capable ships the Enterprise has to go back in time and save Earth? That makes no sense. Stupid time paradoxes. All in all though I enjoyed First Contact, especially the battle for Sector 001. Mmm Akira. It saddens me that there are no die-cast Akira toys or even any official models. I've only been able to find two resin kits, and the good one is now $75. For that price it should be painted. Enterprise... yeah... don't even get me started.

Dude... he has no make up on and he already looks like Spock. He's been the best choice of the casting so far. And the casting overall is pretty good. The big announcement will be who lands the role of a young James T. Kirk. I'm no trekkie, but I gotta admit this sounds pretty frakkin' sweet so far.

HoveringCheesecake Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 It was still better than Voyager. Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you there. I actually like Voyager. Well, the characters mostly. Yes the story wasn't the greatest but it was the TNG-era and I'll be damned if I don't love it along with the other two shows.
