The first site on the 'Net to discuss the tenth Star Trek movie!! Brought to you by the enigmatic Planet Riker...
I'm such a fucking stupid
by ueasly
You know I'm wondering if this has been adressed already here - but it's just occured to me - what Nemesis is - Nemesis is a vampire movie. And Shinzon is a vampire ('I want to drink your blood'). For pete's sake you've even got flashbacks thrown in there, as the innocent young is taken under the 'wing'. Vampire movie.
So why the fuck did they make a vampire movie?

What you need is the Gillete fussion. Not 1 blade. Not 2 blades. Not - aka the 'Mach 3' - three blades! This bastard has.... 5 blades!! You can barely pick it up. But apparently it starts the a nuclear fussion reaction in your skin hairs that pick them up and turn them into air molecules and you don't feel a thing.
If you use fussion gel of course.
Give me a bic any day.

The more blades there are the less space there is between them and the less easily you are able to extricate the hairs. Shaving becomes an ordeal. It's a marketing Gimick.
Try to get a Razorblade Razor in a Supermarket. You can't. I had to go to a Specialty Shaving Store.

I don't think ppl believe 1 blade works any more. They think it's has to be 2 or more - that they work like sort of sissors - the sort of left handed sissors where you.. well you know what I mean.
The irony in all this is that while we are targeted and appealed to as men's men, we're also promised the smoothest shave. The 2 aren't compatible - hence the genius of 'fussion' -
we can wield great power - but at the end of a v long stick

I shaved it that once now I just let it grow and keep it short with sissors. sure sometimes it looks all patchy and shit, but damn, my skin under is so baby smooth.
gilette test their product on animals. i had a girlfriend who protested me buying them Itried to explain that obviusly the animal testing has done wonders because these truely are the best razors.
you'll note, HAD a girlfriend. heartless bitch.

I've ever read here. And, you know, maybe she was looking for a way out of the relationship, I'm not saying that's what it was.. but that sort of obtuse rational is often a clear giveaway.
You want to know who tests on animals? Cancer research. I've never supported them, or donated to them - I'll speak out at every turn against them. But since basc all my family dies of cancer I kind of hope it works.

I personally would find Pictures of dead babies deppressing. I't wouldnt motivate me to buy a Magazine. There was one Headline I saw at the Stand that looked interesting though. Keep in mind. I never read Tabloids, they being a method of keeping the Plebs ignorant, but more importantly they are just Boring. This headline kept me as close as I have ever been to actually getting a copy. Which is still pretty far. It was something to do with some Scientology conspiracy concerning Tom Cruises Baby.
I notice it's a lot more relaxing writing about the Tabloids. I feel like what I'm writing wont possibly get me killed. That is unless Scientologists take over.

Or it could be very good if you believe The Time Machine was an AutoBiography and War of The Worlds an ommitted Chapter.
"New images of the "face" on Mars have been obtained by Europe's Mars Express spacecraft. They reinforce what scientists thought from the beginning – that the face is just a naturally sculpted hill.
The "face" appeared in a photo of Mars's Cydonia region taken in 1976 by NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft. NASA scientists believed from the beginning that the feature was simply a hill that happened to look like a face because of the way the Sun cast shadows across it at the time the photo was taken.
However, the image sparked speculation that the face was built by aliens and that NASA was trying to cover it up.
The agency used the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft to take new images of the region in 1998 and 2001. The new, much more detailed images showed a hill with no particular resemblance to a face (see Martian conspiracy theorists lose face).
Email campaign
But since the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft arrived at Mars in 2003, many unconvinced members of the general public have been asking mission scientists to take more images of the feature.
"So many people wrote me emails – hundreds – saying, 'Why don't you image Cydonia, tell us the truth, we don't believe NASA,'" says Gerhard Neukum of the Free University of Berlin, Germany, chief scientist for Mars Express's High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC).
Mission controllers have been trying to get images of the region since 2004 but had been thwarted until recently by dust and haze in the atmosphere. Finally, on 22 July 2006, the team obtained clear images of the region with the HRSC.
By making observations of the area from slightly different angles as the spacecraft moved through its orbit, mission scientists have been able to build a 3D map of the "face" and the surrounding area.
Sculpted by erosion
The hill that sparked so much speculation is clearly seen in the new images to be a natural feature shaped by erosion, says Agustin Chicarro, ESA's chief scientist for Mars Express.
"My grandfather used to collect pieces of wood that look like birds or dogs or things like that," he told New Scientist. "This is the same thing – people get excited and see what they want to see. What has modelled these reliefs is simply erosion."
Neukum agrees. "It’s a mountainous structure and there's no artificial thing. These are mounds that have survived a general erosional process," he told New Scientist.
The whole area was once as high as the tops of the hills in the region, he says, but most of it has eroded down, with a few more resistant areas surviving as hills. The erosion is probably the result of ancient glaciers or perhaps liquid water carving into the rock, he says. "

Ppl have to start asking some quesions here - why did Nasa release a picture that looked just like a human face? These are clever guys that know what they're doing - surely they would've noticed the resemblance - and that there would be those out there who would pick up on it - equally, they would've forseen that these same interested parties would start thinking 'conspiracy theory'. So why would Nasa want to create a conspiracy theory? Or to put it another way - why would a government agency fighting for it's independence and authority wish to give the impression that it had to counter the wild speculation of a bunch of wack-jobs who seriously believed that a real alien head had been carved on Mars/
Because they need to cover for the fact that aliens and humans look alike. That message has to be disseminated as discretely as possible - how better than to use the c-t's to propogate, unwittingly, the 1 message that undermines their v existance. Then under cover of 'planetary erosion' they let the evidence be blown away, to the winds.
Who's bored?

"Why release a Picture that looks like a Face" Good point.
Well, First. One good reason is it keeps the population superstitious so they never get an accurate picture of the world. That's always a plus. I'm begginning to see a lot of the NEw Age movement was actually fostered by the government.
UFO Nuts are a perfect cover for secret weapons testing. Noones paying attention while it's showing up in some NEw Age Journal.

By RONALD D. MOORE
Published: September 18, 2006
Altadena, Calif.
FOUR decades ago, when the starship Enterprise first settled into orbit around Planet M-113 on Sept. 8, 1966, I was 2 years old. I could not have known it at the time, but “Star Trek” would literally change my life.
To say that any television show has changed one’s life is to invite both mockery and pity for a poor, shuttered geek who must surely have been denied direct sunlight and the attention of women for the better part of his days. But in lieu of offering documentary proof that I do not, in fact, still reside in my parents’ basement, let me simply tell you how “Star Trek” informed the way I look at the world.
“Star Trek” is often reduced to kitsch: Kirk’s paunch, Spock’s pointy ears, green-skinned alien girls. But it was more than escapism and rubber-suited aliens. It was a morality play, with Capt. James T. Kirk as a futuristic John F. Kennedy piloting a warp-driven PT-109 through the far reaches of the galaxy.
Kirk, for me, embodied an American idea: His mission was to explore the final frontier, not to conquer it. He was moral without moralizing. Week after week, he confronted the specters of intolerance and injustice, and week after week found a way to defeat them without ever becoming them. Jim Kirk may have beat up his share of bad guys, but you could never imagine him torturing them.
A favorite quote: “We’re human beings, with the blood of a million savage years on our hands. But we can stop it. We can admit that we’re killers, but we won’t kill today.” Kirk clearly understood humanity’s many flaws, yet never lost faith in our ability to rise above the muck and reach for the stars.
“Star Trek” painted a noble, heroic vision of the future, and that vision became my lodestar.
As I grew into adolescence, the show provided a handy reference against which to judge the questions that my young mind began to ask: What is the obligation of a free society toward the less fortunate? Does an “advanced” culture have the right to spread its ideas among more “primitive” ones? What does it mean to be human, and at what point do we lose our humanity to our technology?
And as I grew into an adult, and my political views took shape, I treasured “Star Trek” as a dream of what my country could one day become — a liberal and tolerant society, unafraid to live by its ideals in a dangerous universe, and secure in the knowledge that its greatness derived from the strength of its ideas rather than the power of its phasers.
In my 20’s, through a combination of luck and determination, I fulfilled my childhood dream — I became a writer for “Star Trek.”
For 10 years, I helped propel the latter-day incarnations of “Trek” into new territory while keeping alive the set of moral principles I’d taken to heart. As I plotted the adventures of the Enterprise-D and the travails of the space station Deep Space 9, I gradually became interested in pushing the boundaries of “Star Trek,” and began to let Captains Picard and Sisko find the shades of gray in a universe Kirk sometimes saw only in black and white.
Science fiction on film and television has, over the past four decades, moved decisively away from the optimism of “Star Trek.” “Blade Runner,” “Alien” and “The Matrix” posit much darker, dystopian futures; even the “Star Wars” movies posit the rise of a galactic empire founded on “the dark side.” Social and commercial explanations abound for this shift, but my theory is that “Star Trek” set the gold standard for the idealistic vision of tomorrow and no one has successfully challenged it.
Nowadays, it may appear that I’ve turned a blind eye to my lodestar as the crew of the battlestar Galactica behave in ways that would’ve been unthinkable in the “Star Trek” universe that Gene Roddenberry created. But “Battlestar Galactica” remains very much informed by the lessons I learned from that slightly paunchy man in the gold pajama top on the good ship Enterprise.
My characters may not have all the answers (sometimes they’re not even aware of the questions) but they contain kernels of both good and evil in their hearts and continue to struggle for salvation and redemption against the darker angels of their natures. Their defeats are many, their victories few, but somehow, some way, they never give up the dream of finding a better tomorrow.
And, thanks to a 40-year-old television show, neither do I.
Ronald D. Moore is the writer of “Battlestar Galactica.”

As For Startrek, My attempt to watch the Startrek from the Begginning of OS to the End of Enteprize hit a Snag when the Series went crap about a third of the way through season 2.
What season one had going for it was the strong Character moments which carried it through the occasional weak plots. Season 2 Kirk became a Caricature. Sometimes this worked such as in "Who Mourns for Adonais" But usually it didn't.
I'm watching "Rome" now. You could download it. On dial up it should take you a couple of months. I bought the bastard so I dont have to. I'm not surprised by the Quality. Everything HBO Produces is better than anything else out there. Now they've done Fantasy, Western, Gangster and S&S I guess the Only Genre left is Science Fiction.
The Book this guy is plugging is available in Audio Format. If you have Broadband you can get it on ChomskyTorrents. or you can buy it for about $70 Au.

Of course I'm joking. Love the epics - though the ABA structures did tend to reinforce the nulificited sentiments. Was it an non- antiprotest song in other words?
As for ST season 2 I'm afraid all credibility's gone there. Even season 3 has like a dozen or ten great eps. Oh I see, you're judging it against Rome... oh well then you obv make a good point.
ps Bujold Voyager could've been great. 'Fire'.. in a sad voice. We never take account of the ofs'ter do we.. the out of site.
Read something today about Freud's theory of the 'narcissism of small differences' - how we loath most those that most resemble ourselves. And that point up where we might of gone wrong, or right - maybe it's that sense of arbitrariness that troubles us. In that respect I can't find anything whatsoever to comment on visavis the Moore article. There's just nothing to work with. Maybe a joke about Ron D MC or you do Ron Ron or Moo red on.. mooredon? No nothing there. It's the BSg stuff that prevents me getting a handle on his flaps an shaking him about a bit.
Seems to me that the internet is compartmentalising our physcologys. What we think has to have a hot link, and if it's not recognised in the virtual world, it's harder to recognise it as something real. Lemmie put it another way - no self-reflection ppl. Unless we think through our own emotions, and realise them ourselves - lets them inform us on our personal growth, then we will only end up existing in these small little spaces - these 'myspaces' we might call them- except they are youspaces - where we can't think something without telling some1 else to see if it corollates. Where we can't feel something since a feeling needs it's own space to connect with itself - and where was can't stand for something because we don't stand against anything. What are friends for those that have no enemies? What are opinions that fit neatly into place alongside our preferences list? What are our favourite things that we like to do thhat there isn't a fine one of th

TODAY IS THE 40th anniversary of the first Star Trek episode broadcast on American television. And while we Trekkies will dutifully be honouring the birthday of this often hammy, frequently absurd but nonetheless compelling show, it is also an occasion for lamentation, a time to reflect on the baleful effect the programme has had on the American mindset — namely Star Trek’s message of liberal imperialism, a philosophy that uncannily has since been realised in real life.
Thanks to a process of osmosis from perennial reruns, Star Trek has propagated the belief that it is proper to interfere in other societies, that it is America’s duty to assume the role of (inter-)world policeman, and to correct the errant ways of other cultures — for their own good. And Spock was to Kirk what Blair is to Bush, a lackey willing to assist his master in his curious mission that seemingly has no specific objective.
Some may contend that this is unfair, in that Star Trek promoted gender equality and that the crew of the Enterprise was multi-ethnic.
True, but it was an American alpha-male who was at the helm of the ship, with a Brit (Scottie), a Russian-Ukrainian (Chekov) a Japanese man (Sulu) and an African- American woman (Uhuru — or should we say Condi Rice) remaining decidedly subservient. Tellingly, having dabbled with employing a female as ship’s captain in the unsuccessful 1990s incarnation Star Trek: Voyager, the most recent manifestation, Star Trek: Enterprise, reverted to type, with a white American male back in the saddle, his principal underling now an Englishman.
Then what of the show’s celebrated “prime directive”, that the explorers should never interfere in alien civilisations? The problem here is that the prime directive is blatantly and persistently violated. Not an episode concludes without one of Captain Kirk’s sermons, his incessant moralising to troubled alien civilisations that they should follow his lead and cherish life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Star Trek represented not the ethos of mutual, egalitarian co-operation, but of multinational interference firmly under the leadership of Americans. Rather than having succumbed to the urge to boldly go and meddle with strange new worlds he didn’t understand, Captain Kirk should have stayed at home and sorted out his own people’s problems."
Yeah but The Network wouldnt have tolerated anyone but a Yankee at the Helm as this guy well knows.
URl- I cant actually remember or be bothered looking for it.

Theres nothing I'd least rather do as listening to someone elses Music. And I never listen to anyones opinion on the Subject Unless they write for a Major Publication e.g Uncut, Mojo. So I dont expect you to Listen to me when I tell you to Check out the Flaming Lips Last Three Albums. It's like the first time you Listen to Electric Ladyland or the Good Half of Revolver. If that's your thing. If it's not. And who the Hell doesnt like the Beatles? God Damn it.
I remember before I'd actually listened to Hendrix when I was about 7, My Indoctrination was his stuffs not Musical, Its just Feedback etc.
If that's not your opinion. i.e your not a complete retard, The Flaming Lips are for you.
But what does all this have to do with StarTrek?
Q did quite a good satirical piece on the Subject a few Posts back about how we've been stuck mainly in the same COnversation Loop (all trek boards) for the past, how long is it now? almost ten years. Zarquon. I started this thing when I was still in fricken High School.

I know what you mean. It's like confronting the unknown - except it's already known and ppls are presuming they know enough about us to tell us what we don't know, and should know. Even if our peers, as well as the laymen tell us that Elgar's Symphony no.2 is a great work... well, you get attached to the first, and you make that part of yourself - you don't want to surrender that do you. And you're told about the the grandeur of a symphony written by the finest English composer in his prime - it's sweeping majesty, it's depth of expression, of emotions... that lay too deep for tears - and you don't want that to filter through. Would it distill what you already knew and believed? Would it put the first in a relatively immature light?
I don't think so. The second begins in momentary respite, then bursts forth in dazzling light - striding forward in the confident knowledge of what is good and right, through its succeeding themes and material - oh, there are moments of concern and shadows of what despair might fill what is left behind. But everything is swept along!... until the heart of the 1st movemt, which seems almost like the material opening itself up... and so we come to the last movment, triumphant in both it's aspiration and its culmination - reminding us that Elgar in all his nobility and his passion didn't write 'English' music - no, he wrote music that the English would like think represents them...
I guess one just has to find the right.. perspective. For instance, you could have just said don't be closed minded, what are you some sort of conservative. It's hard to be musically obstinate aginst that sort of language. But this worked well too - as well as might be hoped. I'll think about downloading 1 or 2 tracks!
For that is why we are differnt from them! And that is why we will fail.
Unless we kill them first.

Reminds me of the TTT trailer, ppl though they knew what to expect, and still ended up freaking out - and then wondering what the music was. What was that music at the end? Those last 25 or whoever many seconds are spectactular...
And they throw in some purple lightening for no good reason...
Did you see Kirk walking down the corridor about 20 second in? For some reason that jizzes me to the v soul.
Ok, enough of this. Any1 who can tell me which version of Goldsmith is used the beginning wins a prize. +5 forum points or something.

"Everything this week feels like it’s related to the Transformers set visit (including these damn crabs!). While hanging out in downtown LA waiting for shots to be set up, many of us would get to talking, and the talk would often turn to nerdy subjects. I talked to producer Tom DeSanto (seriously – if the guy was any nicer the Hollywood system would have eaten him alive already. It’s incredible how down to earth and geeky he is) about JJ Abrams’ Star Trek XI, something that Paramount publicity has already begun working on.
I have to admit that I thought that Abrams’ take would disappear after Mission: Impossible III sucked, blew and then didn’t make enough money. But it turns out that Paramount loves JJ and hates Tom Cruise, so despite the fact that MI3 would have been no good despite its star, Abrams continues on the Star Trek revitalization.
Now there’s new, weird news that might help us understand where Abrams is taking the film. Leonard Nimoy talked to the Toronto Sun recently and revealed that Paramount has been in touch with him and Bill Shatner about being involved in Trek XI… somehow.
Thus spake Spock: "The head of production at Paramount called my agency to tell them about this project and they are aware of Bill's and my contribution to the franchise, and they'd like us to know they might want some involvement. It was all very, very general.
"They might possibly want Bill and I to set up the story as a flashback. But that's just conjecture on my part."
While I’ve been lately hearing “complete reboot” rumors, this does sound like Abrams might be looking to prequel after all – unless he just wants Nimoy and Shatner to do cameos (maybe playing the parents of their rebooted, younger selves? Just spitballing here). I think a reboot is the way to go, especially because there’s too much nonsense in the Star Trek canon, and a prequel runs into the Enterprise problem of figuring out how to make the surprisingly low-tech high-tech of the original series even more low-tech while believable as our future.
I’m not a big Star Trek fan (although I was as a kid, to my eternal shame, and I have a head full of Original Series trivia as a result), but I’m eagerly awaiting information on just how Abrams is going to revitalize this franchise. While many of us nerds on the Transformers set had differing opinions on where the series should go, we all agreed that it was pretty surprising that it was coming back so soon. The recent bad films and terrible TV series really took the luster off the name, and I would have expected Paramount to let the whole franchise cool its heels for a couple more years before bringing it back. They have a lot of faith in Abrams, it seems."
What a great idea. 2 old guys reminiscing around a campfire. enough is enough. I'm Boycotting this fucking movie. I want this movie to fail and if it means the last nail in the coffin of trek so Be it.

I wonder if anyone will click on a message with that Title.
I seem to be getting 90% of media these days in Audio format. That includes Podcasts and Audio Books. I'm looking for any Podcasts of Science Fiction Content. THe Ones I've found tend To be in the FM- Talking BS format. That actually goes for most entertainment Podcasts. I want to hear things like Nasa Astronauts Bitching about the Decline of Startrek. and Episode Reviews. It's rare that you get good reviews in PC. One of the Better reviews PCs is www.reelreviews.com.
Heres a List of the Podcasts I subscribe to after sampling hundreds. Definitely Worth your TIme.
Are we not here tying to build a better forum? Doing our bit? And where are those fuckers, hmm? Sitting on their arses, that's where. And after they plead with us - 'oh please, won't you post at the trekX website, we need you to save this place'. One might reply - 'what's it matter if *every1' joins in' eh? Raising your eyebrows on the 'every1'. These ppl... these, cowards, wouldn't know how to fight for what they believe if it hit em in the face. They want others to do what they're too goddammed lazy to do themselves - so they send us out, without bodyarmour. Mental bodyarmour. For what is another pov but a defence against our own intransigence? What is a fucking cluster bomb without those to bear witness? What is... love?
Where is she?
Does she cry from skys above??
Left for dead, eco. you and I/ Left to go fuck ourselves with our own rifles. Those bastards have got it coming to them, they really have. For when the barbarians come knocking, who will defend them? Not I. I'll be leading the charge. For what is mine! What is... ours. The meek shall inherit the earth ma frend and take what's due us.
Just you and me eco. You and me.
Together. We shall join. And become binded in each others hopes and desires. One being.

Why Global Warming Is Good (If it's a real Phenomena)
by Eco The Eco Friend.
Because Mother Earth Loves us. She also loves open borders so third world workers can undercut first world wages thereby creating true equality.
when Islands sink we get refugees entering our labour market and helps our economy. And we must have a strong economy so we can face the Threat of Terrorism which we must destroy even if it takes 1000 years
and Rogue states like China who the US arms and Indonesia who are armed by Australia.

Hello, I am from Sweden and I am puzzled by you peoples. Is it not true that the planet is warming up? Is it not equally true that product shortages and mass migration flows will lead to global strife, and ultimately to a third world war? Started by America, likely against Chad (the analysts believe this likely).
Instead you treat this issue like it was a joking matter. An unimportant diversion from the issues of poverty and proliferation which we all care about. Does it not seem ironic to you?
Or perhaps you wish it to happen. While ostensibly you believe not the scientific consensus you indeed sub-consciously hope for such a breakdown. Yes I believe this may be so.
