Star Trek X1 -Open Discussion for those who have seen the movie

[the fifth man]

That whole movie was a lame comedy. Slingshot around the sun?

Star Trek IV is one of my favorite Trek movies. To each their own.

thought i would post my timeline theory in here

as for as i'm concerned the original timeline still exists.

think of it like a tree branch the main branch is the original timeline and the smaller branches that break away from the main one is all the alternate timelines that we experience over the whole franchise.


response to a post
IMo it only makes sense. the comic that came with the trek 2009 takes place years after Nemesis and takes place with the tng crew granted now split up and working on personal projects.

there is no mention of vulcan being destroyed just that spock has been lost. so if the timeline still exist then we may still have story's from this era of trek

I quite like that kind of explanation. Its just like how they explain the alternate world of Back To The Future II. As the doc says to Marty the original timeline still exists but it branches off into this one when Biff went back in time with the sports almanac... So both timelines still exist but at some point they diverge into two seperate timelines.

Ahhh... Back to the future time travel logic. It never fails

Darn right, it doesn't. You can't argue with the Doc.

Yuppers... :-) Its a good explanation!

It is one of mine, it has to be the most funny quotes I have used in it of all the others combined.

Computer, Computer.

Just use the keyboard.

Spock cussing.


I guess I usually get a kick out of when any show goes back to past Earth like SG1 when they returned 1969 and watching the writers play around and have some laughs.

I completely agree!

[Infinite-Possibilities]

The problem with that time travel explanation is that is clearly not how it works in the Star Trek universe. Otherwise every time travel story would not have needed the protagonists to fix whatever went wrong.

Star Trek IV is one of my favorites too. I actually liked all the previous 10 Star Trek movies, even the ones that are significantly weaker than the best ones.

I suppose to be fair I should mention I watched the new movie again recently, it was better than I remembered but almost all of my major problems with it stand.

I'm not going to get all analyse-y about this movie, mostly because I'm not very good at analysing TV shows and movies I don't really need to anyway, because I loved it and I was grinning like some kind of lunatic all the way through (except during the sadder parts of course). I loved it so much I felt like skipping out of the cinema Now I'm counting the days 'til I get my hands on the DVD

That will indeed be a wonderful day.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the movie. I wasn't looking forward to it and had resigned myself to disappointment. I'm glad I was wrong.

Things I liked:

*The whole Spock/Uhura thing--it works surprisingly well.
*The comedy (although, I do think they went overboard in making Kirk the comic relief)
*The Enterprise (so shiny!)
*McCoy!
*Scottie!
*Sulu!
*Bruce Greenwood was awesome!
*Saturn!
*The wonderful music during the birthing scene
*The action, the interaction, the acting....

Things I didn't like:
*the transporter effect
*the wildly improbable spaceship designs
*playboy Kirk (they went just that much overboard)
*Nero
*Amanda's hideous outfit
*Vulcan ears
*the Kobayashi Maru sequence--I'm thinking he would have been a LOT more subtle


I'm thinking I'll have to see the movie again!

i've already seen the movie like four times and i love it, also i agree with pretty much all of that except the not liking playboy kirk, if u watch the series you'll know that that he is sort-of a playboy, and you're always expecting to see a playboy magazine in his quarters, so it makes sense that he'd be even more playboy-ish when hes a teenager.


i also don't like the spock/uhura thing. its just weird Spock shouldn't have a girlfriend

[zuzukh]

It should have followed on from Nemisis, which, btw, wasn't as horrible as everyone says it was.

YES IT IS!!!!! the movie was great really, but DATA GETS FREAKING BLOWN UP the movie has to be horrible, i listened to it on audio-book before i watched it so i was prepared but my bff amy who is in love with data (and how can you blame her) refuses to watch or listen to it, the enterprise just isnt the enterprise without a main character being emotionless- for example: TOS Spock, TNG Data, ENT T'pol. (i'm not mentioning voy or ds9 cuz they're not on the enterprise)

[Infinite-Possibilities]

So you think the movie is great and horrible?

(snip for space)

Unfortunately, time travel works differently every time they use it. But if it makes anyone feel better we can just say Spock and Nero got spit out in the past of one of the alternate universes from TNG "Parallels".
