Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I have a quick TOS question: In the one with Joan Collins (I think it's called CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER), Kirk and the gang were told that events had to play out as they originally had and Collins had to die. So...why did this not happen in ST:IV? What impact would bringing the whales to the 23rd century have for the Earth? Why didn't someone remind the crew about the events in COTEOF?

Holko 9,499 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Maybe the sudden and unexplained disappearance of George and Gracie, whom nobody even kept track of, was the ultimate cause of the total whale extinction in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 So...you're saying that George and Gracie are both the root cause of, and the solution to, the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 TMP is a fine film, it takes some cues from better films and doesn't pull them off as well, but it's still good, and certainly better than any Star Trek content that's been released since 2002.

Pellaeon 593 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 It would be great if they could redo the Director’s Edition in high def. TMP is the very definition of a flawed masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them really capture the magic of the show (I tend to think FORBIDDEN PLANET is what the real Star Trek film), but TMP has an artistry and message which at least mark it as an earnest effort.

Holko 9,499 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 TMP is remarkably like an Original Series episode, probably because it evolved from the Phase II pilot.

Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Tarantino probably knows as much about STAR TREK now, as Nicholas Meyer did, in 1981, but, like Meyer before him, he might bring a "virgin" energy to the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellaeon 593 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Quote TARANTINO: I’m a big fan of the show Star Trek. I really like it a lot, but my portal into that show is William Shatner. I love William Shatner on Star Trek. I love his performance as James T. Kirk. That is my connection. That is my umbilical cord. It’s why I like Star Trek more than Star Wars, because William Shatner’s not in Star Wars. I think it’s one of the greatest performances in the history of episodic television, of a series lead, and rightly so, because very few series leads have ever gotten the opportunity to play all the different wild, crazy things. “The Enemy Within” alone… Source: Quentin Tarantino On ‘Once Upon A Time,’ ‘Star Trek’ As ‘Pulp Fiction’ In Space – Deadline He’s spot on, in my opinion! I love this, too: Quote TARANTINO: Well, it’s an idea then we got together and talked it out and then we hired Mark Smith, who did Revenant to write the script. I don’t know how much I can say. The one thing I can say is it would deal with the Chris Pine timeline. Now, I still don’t quite understand, and JJ can’t explain it to me, and my editor has tried to explain it to me and I still don’t get it…about something happened in the first movie that now kind of wiped the slate clean. I don’t buy that. I don’t like it. I don’t appreciate it. I don’t — fuck that…I want the whole series to have happened, it just hasn’t happened yet. No, Benedict Cumberbatch or whatever his name is is not Khan, alright? Khan is Khan. And I told JJ, like, “I don’t understand this. I don’t like it.” And then he was like, “Ignore it! Nobody likes it. I don’t understand it. Just do whatever you want. If you want it to happen the exact way it happens on the series it can.” TARANTINO: The reason I was actually intrigued by the JJ Abrams version of it is because I thought Chris Pine did a fantastic job not just playing Capt. Kirk but playing William Shatner’s captain — he is William Shatner. He’s not just another guy, he’s William Shatner’s Capt. Kirk. And it’s literally, Zachary Quinto is literally Leonard Nimoy’s — because they both have the same scene together — he’s his Spock. They fucking nail it. They just nail it.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 QT has to understand that Star Trek as a franchise got over Williams Shatner decades ago now. The most prolific era of Star Trek happened in the 90's. Not a lot of James T. Kirk there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
