Star Trek

All of series 3, the whole Xindi story arc...Massive error for Braga and Berman, just massive. Totally killed Enterprise's future.

I didn't like the final episode either, obviously rushed. My understanding is that they were cut midstream.

but even if they were it was like they were making a TNG episode rather than an enterprise episode.

I thought the movie was really really good, and i'm not even an original Trekie, the opening scene was quite awesome, nearly shed a tear. I was curious to find out from Trekie fans as to was the movie an adaptation or was it based on a certain series, and if so, how accurate was it?

OK...

Well, basically the official Star Trek line is it's an alternate reality.

That is, from the moment Eric Bana turns up in his kick-ass Romulan mining behemoth, all of Star Trek becomes different - the only series that exists untouched in the movies universe is Enterprise, being set prior to it (and including the subtle reference to Admiral Archer's beagle).

So, it's Star Trek - The Original Series, but on a different tangent. As far as that goes, it's really accurate. It keeps (for the most part) back stories and such in tact. Kirk is the obvious exception - his entire backstory is flipped on its head by the death of George Kirk snr. in the opening scene. But the stuff like Spock telling the Vulcan Science Academy where to go and all that, bang on.

Ah k cheers. I have to admit, the movie has got me interested in the star trek series, i might actually try to buy some dvd's.

I'd probably start with some of the movies or next generation episodes. Personally I like the orginal series but it is very campy.

 

[Timbo]

Yeah, the Original series can be hard to watch from a 2009 perspective.

Deep Space Nine is my favourite series. But I'd start with the movies also.

Wrath of Khan is the way to go, Star Trek the motion picture was pretty lame.

Yeah Motion picture is lame, Wrath of Khan is awesome, IV the Voyage home is good for something lighter.

If you're looking at Next Generation episodes I'd go with Best of Both Worlds part 1 and 2 and follow it up with the movie Star Trek: First contact, which is a suquel of sorts to those episodes.

sh*tty movie.

Undiscovered Country isn't bad, but I'm with you - Wrath of Khan was fantastic, but you do need to have seen the original episode 'Space Seed' to know what's going on.
