Star Trek prequel - Page 3

Heheh, or perhaps Number One was the cool logical, albeit human, at that point and Spock was a barely thought-out alien character about whom nothing was yet imagined outside of pointy ears. TeeHee.

I would Love if the new movie played off that, and somehow posited a way for emotional Spock to transition to proper Vulcan Spock ... but somehow I doubt that's what's going on when Syler, er, Spock is strangling that dude with obvious glee and malice.

My problem is that the whole gimmick is too much like Muppet Babies. This idea that if you take a specific group of adults forming a group at one point in their life they were always in that group.

It would be like a Cheers prequel showing they all went to the same high school and had the same interpersonal dynamics.

Maybe it'll all be plausibly explained why the bridge crew of the Enterprise would all be together 15 years earlier but I have to admit that I can't find the energy to care much. I'm sure I'll see it because I've seen then all, but it is out of habit not desire.

Alex, I feel the same way. I can understand the sequels having the same characters, but the prequel? Not so much. I understand that people like to see familiar characters, but I like to think sci-fi fans can handle a bit more. Keep the same theme, but for pete's sake, get some new characters. Maybe one or two cameos, maybe show how they came to be a group, something like that, but dude.

FYI....

There is a Star Trek Trailer Before Quantum of Solace.

I think it was the best part of the movie, but that's more of a comment on the 007 flick than the Star Trek Trailer.

New commercial during the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Spock is soooooooo Syler.
