Nailing the lid on Star Trek's coffin

[mikeyacp]

Is this really needed? Don't get me wrong, I used to be a die hard trekkie... but after weak voyager (got better when the borg showed up) episodes piled up, I figured they would and should put Star Trek to rest, save for a couple more (good hopefully) movies, maybe with DS9...

What is this abomination???

What the hell did I just watch?

Why do I feel retarded all of the sudden? That trailer has all the makings of an April fools joke.

It's a "web-only mini-series": http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/ne...19255.html

They've hand-selected the cream of the acting crop from the Trek pool . . . including Yoeman Rand and Leeta.

Holy crap! BUEEEEHLERRRRRRR!

Fanzines have gone video and web?

Please do not tell me it is going to be one of the premium channels.

Let's look for the positive here, folks:

1. Chekov and Uhura, forever under-utilized, look to be getting some facetime here
2. Koenig gives props to Shatner and Montalban with bad toupee
3. Porn star Borg chick on the Klingon bridge (Trek's answer to BSG's cylon temptress?)
4. There is a green lady.
5. There is a green lady.
6. What look to be old-school miniature ship models and old-school uniforms
7. The goth vulcan ensign...isn't that the guy from The Cure?
8. As this is web-only, there's a better chance Rick Berman won't ruin it. As much.
9. Chekov's "Anyone who trades freedom for security deserves neither" line; tribute to Jefferson (or was it Frankliin?) who originally said that and so applicable today
10. Did I mention the green lady?

11. It can't get much worse. Only way to go is UP.

I watched it a second time - my thoughts:
1. There's 8 minutes I'll never get back!
2. This must be a Lorne Michael's production for Saturday Night Live
3. The TOS actors must be going senile, broke or both to be part of this schlock
4. Gene Roddenberry is turning over in his grave
5. This movie has just replaced 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' as the worst SciFi movie ever made!
