    :rolleyes: Here we go again. An actor who once showered praise and was thankful just to have been part of the show and experiences with it turns against it in bitterness for some inane reason.

     

    Hey, LaVar, you were one of a hugh ensemble of actors working within a finite time-frame of production, how much more time do you feel your character deserved? At least your eye-sight arc saw resolution.

    Totally agree.

     

    I hear some people say original characters/stories could be tweaked enough to be considered fresh but I don't care, I want original stories or else rebooting was a waste. IMO

     

    Given the clues so far, I would say our hopes for the Nuverse won't be in vain.

    Hello Alligator Watcher.

     

    With the exception of Khan NOT being ruled out, (I'd prefer they not rehash Khan) I don't see this as either good or bad; just informative. We can now say we know four characters which won't be in the movie. That's out of hundreds of potentials though, so it is really not saying much.

     

    I suppose it could be considered bad [news] to anyone whom may have been hoping for any of these characters to appear.

     

    Are you new to Star Trek?

    $118?!

     

    That's outrageous!

     

    Although they have sweetened the deal with some intriguing sounding special features, to get it from DVDEmpire for $80 is still too much for us to consider double dipping. Our total cost per season to upgrade would equal $180. No way.

     

    My only shot would be if I could sell our DVD sets for at least $40 each.

    I am so invested in the first DVD releases of all the series ($2100+) that it'll probably be a cold day in hell before I can afford to double-dip them.

     

    Also, simply converting them to HD won't be enough temptation for me - a full remastering of all the effects would be needed for me to even consider revisiting them.

     

    Besides, our TV and BD player has 24 FPS capability which makes them look pretty good.

    I admit to also having uncertainty over the 'altered/alternate' time-line question at first but as soon as it was clarified for me by the writers as early as THIS then the debate for me was over.

     

    I now understand the term 'alternate' as used in the film to be regarding their, the alternate universe character versions, personal futures. Had Nero not been delivered by the black hole to their reality their futures would have been different. IOW, they now live an altered existence than they would have experienced had Nero not arrived. I believe this makes perfect sense within the Many Worlds (Parallel Universes) Theory.

     

    Frankly, it is cutting edge science fiction and I predict it will remain a part of how TT stories are told in the future. But also complex and confusing? It can be, but so can Single Timeline Theory, if you recall. IMO, STT is far more complicated than MWT. Time Travel within the MWT completely eliminates all potential Paradox's. :-)

     

    I just wish the whining portion of the fanbase, (not you) would stop it and the personal research of how MWT works would begin. We owe it to ourselves and Trekdom to overcome the years of brainwashing STT has caused and get on with 21st Century Sci-Fi.

    I've read #1 & 2 so far.

     

    Honestly, the variations between Nuverse WNMHGB and the original are very slight, almost too slight to justify the $10 it took for me to find them out but, that clues to the story of ST XII are within, helps.

    I doubt it would have mattered even if someone had looked straight into the camera and said it, trekz.

     

    If I may interject on the subject of the Spock/Uhura relationship issue; any fan of TOS who never saw some potential for them to be an item in the prehistory of that series, even from only Uhura's POV, should turn in their Nerd cards, they weren't paying close enough attention.

    I think he's still holding out hope to maybe get it though some fans heads that the original time-line, read: Universe, including the Original Vulcan, is still intact.

     

    Why, despite all the evidence to the contrary, some fans persist in believing it is an 'altered time-line' story totally escapes me. It almost seems some are just simply determined to cling to that idea no matter how many times anyone, including the Authors and Director states the contrary.
