Roddenberry wouldn't let that kind of thing happen if he were alive. They hardly let his body cool before having an all-out war break out on DS9 - something he had fought against even before the series even got to the air.. Actually Roddenberry was blamed by paramount for the extreme cost overruns ST: TMP and by ST; TWOK he had been marginalized. He had very little influence with the rest of the Trek movies. The first season of ST: TNG had some Roddenberry influence but even that was negated by the time of his death. He died in 1991 - DS9 had not even premiered - it started being shown in 1993 and the Dominion War arc didn't get started until late season four. DS9 was slated to a "different" type of Trek. Instead of a Utopia, Socialistic enviroment, raw racism was to be the spotlight. Enterprise was screwed over by Bevis and Butthead. Brandon and Braga. By the time they were fired and Manny Coto took over, the series was in rigor mortis. Still, the very best episode was In A Mirror, Darkly was in the last season and that was a Manny Coto achievement. If Coto had been at the helm from the beginning, ST: ENT may have had a chance of being special instead of the quivering pile of Drek it eventually became.

Is that the confirmed design?
I can't find anything that says it.

Well, there we go!
Not bad. Seems a little too "Galaxy Quest" for my liking, but still not bad.

Reaction of some fans to the "New and Improved" Enterprise... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8B1GNCSfX0Personally, I hate it (the "new" Enterprise). Shatner's right - this thing is probably going to be a huge turkey.

The messed up sooooo badly on that new Enterprise. Looks more like Enterprise-A than the original. And has anybody seen the Quantum trailer? Nice job with the corridors... Nice job doing the wrong era, JJ. If they plan on doing a prequel movie that they market as not being a reboot, um, yeah, they're failing pretty hard. And has anybody seen these cast pics? Points out again some of my issues with the movie: - The only thing I'm looking forward to is Quinto.
- SULU WAS JAPANESE!!!
- Seriously, what the fuck?
Anybody else planning a canon boycott?

^Yes, Quinto looks interesting, but I'm also looking forward seeing Simon Pegg and Anton Yelchin as Scotty and Chekov. I saw Voyager and Enterprise before The Next Generation, so I was thrilled when I finally saw them.
I've never seen an episode of the original series :/
no no, I saw Voyager and The Next Generation first, then Enterprise. And I think they're all good in their own way, but personally I like Enterprise the most. But I think Voyager has the best opening credits.

Is true that the movie gets delayed from xmas 2008 to april-may 2009?
Yes, it's true. Due to the writers strike in Hollywood, the production schedule got pushed back. I was thinking it would be a great X-mas present but after reading some of the changes to canon (Pike dies, the outrage when Spock's parents were to be both Vulcans, the redesigned ship, etc), I think that I'll wait for the movie to come to HBO.

I'm not from Finland, I'm from Russia.
The guy playing Chekov is young, he's born in '89. And I think he's a good actor, and looks good ;P.
Pardon this, I didn't really understand your post.
Hahaha. Okay, the post was in no way a slam against you. You ran into an "inside" joke between Archonix and me. The "Boys from Finland" are the creators, producers and stars of the fan film named Star Wreck VI: In The Pirkinning.. Instead of me going into a long, detailed explanation of the name Fukov and other Wreck nomenclature, I'll direct you to this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wreck:_In_the_PirkinningAfter reading the Wiki article, prepare yourself for the very best Sci Fi parody film ever made. It's free to download from this site: www.starwreck.comStar Wreck VI take over from Star Wreck V: Lost Contact. Download both and watch them in sequence. The CGI and graphics on SW-V are not as good as ST-VI, but both are very enjoyable. Please let me know if this message makes things clearer. Also let me know if you enjoy the Star Wreck universe. The main players: Emperor Pirk, Cmd. Dwarf, Cmd Info and Lt. Swagger. -------------- The Star Wreck fleet preparing for battle. ---------------- Captain Sergey Fukov. ---------------- The beloved Helmswoman, Lt. Swagger.

Star Wreck is in Finish aka Suomi. It has been dubbed into other languages (unfortunately, not English - yet) and subtitled in other languages. Star Wreck is available on YouTube also.
Trust me on this. I've been a member of the Star Wreck site for quite a while and have been in communication several times with Samuli (Pirk), who I hope will come to America next year for Dragoncon.

Star Wreck is awesome.. tought i only watched the last movie, i think there is many more before.. Didnt like that after making Federation and Earth Alliance ships even by Voiding the fed ships shields.. making them all unshielded vs unshielded ships , the EA ships still dont look much competent against fed ships.. specially white stars wich should outmaneouver Defiant class ships.. not speak about the bigger heavier ships...
