    HEY ALL ITS GREAT TO BE BACK!!!!

     

    My thoughts... Well, I give it a 4... It seems the things I felt at the end of the movie was a sentiment shared by others...

     

    Continuity: This isnt your father's star trek because it just isn't... Aside from a revamp of the characters, canon was thrown out the window with the destruction of Vulcan... I could almost rationalize it all up to that point... But now its just a parallel universe... No different than the Terran Empire Mirror Universe

     

    But truth be told, we need this.. BAD... If there was ever a thing that could bring our established canon universe back to the small screen and on the big screen, a hundred million new fans will do it... Ultimately, the Star Trek Franchise is a business... With more fans, comes more money and therefore, new possibilities... So for that simple fact, STXI has won my loyal support....

    Welcome back! How long has it been?

     

    Used to be on all the time... But after ENT was cancelled, i suppose once every 6 months?

     

    I'd like to consider myself pretty scholarly about ST Canon (as I've seen every episode of all the series'), but with no new material for the last few years, there wasnt really much to debate about... Thankfully BSG, SG1, and SGA saved my sanity. But now that those are all over, I guess I'm gonna have to see how things go with SGU and Cap

    So I’ve been coming back to the prophecy that says that ‘all of these events have happened before’. Based on what I’ve seen, here’s my prediction:

     

    I. Birth of Mankind (4000 to 2000 years ago)

    1. Creation of Cylons by mankind

    2. War with Cylons

    3. Exodus of Cylons to new homeworld (13th tribe)

    4. Return and War with the Cylons (13th tribe)

    5. Decimation of humans (Kobol)

    6. Exodus of remaining humans to new homeworld (12 tribes)

    7. Human retribution by the destruction of Cylon homeworld (Earth)

     

    II. Rebirth of Mankind (100 years ago to current)

    1. Creation of Cylons by mankind

    2. War with Cylons

    3. Exodus of Cylons to new homeworld (Cylon/human Armistice)

    4. Return and War with the Cylons (Significant 7)

    5. Decimation of humans (Colonies)

    6. Exodus of remaining humans to new homeworld (12 colonies)

    7. Human retribution by the destruction of Cylon homeworld (Unnamed)

     

    And then I think the 12 cylon models were created based on the 12 lords of kobol.

     

    Gods #1-10 have been named according to battlestar wiki:

     

    1. Zeus – Leader/eldest of the Gods

    • Colonel Tigh

    2. Hera – Wife of Zeus

    • Ellen Tigh

    3. Aphrodite – Goddess of Love

    • Number Six

    4. Ares – God of War

    • Number One / Cavil

    5. Apollo – God of hunt/sport

    • Anders

    6. Artemis – Goddess of hunt/sport

    • Number three

    7. Asclepius – God of Science/Healing

    • Number four/black doctor

    8. Athena – Goddess protector of man who killed herself after the 12 tribe’s exodus

    • Number eight / Athena Agathon

    9. Aurora – Goddess of the dawn

    • Tory Foster

    10. Poseidon – God of the sea

    • Number 2/Leoben ???

    11. God #11 (Vulcan/Hephaestus) ???

    • Tyrol ???

    12. God #12 (Hades) - ???

    • Number 5/Doral???

     

    But lastly I was thinking that perhaps Starbuck is also a cylon as the only possible explanation is that she redownloaded... If this is true, than perhaps she is the reincarnation of the 13th lord of kobol that was the one who started the war... They have said that there are 12 lords of kobol (12 colonies as well) but isnt it possible that there was in fact a 13th lord who left the pantheon and is, therefore, the god of the 13th-cylon tribe?

    Well truth be told, about a month after TATV (ENT cancellation), I progressively stopped going to STF.Net and other ST Websites less and less in protest that ENT was cancelled.. It was a rough time and we were all pissed... And then to lessen the pain, I downloaded all 11 season of SG1 to ease the transition of no new ST... I'm sure I wasnt the only one...

     

    But after seeing the trailer for STXI, I have high hopes that a new era and generation of star trek fandom is upon us... I have high hopes that the huge buzz about STXI will force the TPTB at paramount to restart the ST franchise and I for one am happy to be back...

    I'm glad they didn't play the race card at all.. To me, race is not an important issue, if they can do the job well, then they should be elected. However, I do think an African-American or woman president is right around the corner.

     

    How about an African-American Woman as the President?

     

    This cut scene some from STV says it all:

    Mount_Rushmore_2287.jpg

     

    Apparently though the movie infers that Chekov and Sulu are in Yosemite, they are actual at Mount Rushmore and a fifth presdient has been added.

     

    honestly i dont see it.. i think the guy second from the right looks like Picard with a moustache and a toupee though

    i understand i can only have one favorite but its a tie for the following reasons

     

    STTNG: Best of both worlds... suspense, thought the galaxy was going to end

    STTNG: Inner Light ... absolute sadness and feeling of despair

    STDS9: In the pale moonlight... tribute to man's struggle with ethics.

    STDS9: The Visitor ... the love between father and son..

    STDS9: Trials and Tribbulations.... just for nostalgia's sake

     

    For Voyager.. there were a lot of good episodes but nothing i could say was great : Pathfinder /Course Oblivion/Timeless/Equinox

     

    my 2 cents

    I wish more people would take the "DS9 Challenge" and watch the series from beginning to end. If all Trek fans would do that the demand for a DS9 movie would be so great that TPTB couldn't ignore it.

    thanks to the wonders of kazaa/morpheous.. i completed teh DS9 Challenge and the Voyager Marathon back in 2000 in about 7 weeks each...(5 hours a day for 5 days a week = one season)

     

    these days with tivo and spike it will take you 5 months ( 2 epid per day * 5 days * 2.5 weeks = one season )

    I was just thinking about an episode of Voyager (can't remember the name or the season).  Janeway and Company encounter a species with the technology to get Voyager out of the Delta Quadrant and back home (or at least within spitting distance).  The species want to make a trade for some type of technology that Voyager has, but Janeway won't do it ... I guess because of the prime directive or some other such nonsense.

     

    Now, if Benjamin Sisko had been commanding Voyager and was presented with the same opportunity, I don't think he'd have let a little thing like the prime directive get in his way.  He would have done what he had to do to get his crew back home and dealt with his conscience later.

     

    Personally, I'm with Sisko on this.  I liked Janeway o.k., but she was more than a little self-righteous and too much by the book.  Sisko was more in the mold of Kirk and Picard ... there are times when you have to sleep with the devil and the ends DO justify the means.

    i think your referring to the void where they are stuck in a sublayer of subspace...the trade is for weapons for food and deuterium... but still idont think sisko would have done it...after all its only food and power vs other lives...

    I don't think he'd have traded weapons either.

     

    I don't think that Sisko would have made the trade.  I honestly believe that he was by the book enough to not compromise the fundamental directives of the federation.

    Man, I'm fresh off the "In the Pale Moonlight" wagon ... Sisko certainly did a little sleeping with the devil in that one. That's what made me think about this whole situation in the first place. He wasn't exactly worried about going by the book in that particular situation.

    Sisko wasn't always "by the book", but in "ITPML" he did tell Garak that he's have to get Starfleet approval for their plan but it wasn't "by the book" to even suggest the plan to Starfleet. I feel that Sisko is more "realistic" then Picard in many respects.

     

    Now if you want to look at not going "by the book" watch "For the Uniform", now that's not following "the book" lol

    sisko had a hard time weighing the cost of a thief and a senators life over the safety of the alpha quadrant... so i still dont think he would trade photon torpedoes and antimattter pods for some 24th century gas and cookies..

    rofl..

     

    we all know that all of the engineers and rocket scientists from the military and JPL are all die hard trekkies.. i wouldnt be surprised if they scoured "mr.scotts guide to the enterprise" and "STTNG Technical Manual" for ideas on future projects
