Yeah. What wa sup with the whole Spock/Uhura thing. Any good writer tries to keep characters within their character

[musicispower84]

Yea I'm with ya there. There are a lot of things about Spock's character I didn't like. Both about how Kurzman and Orci went about him and how Quinto played him. And I try not to say much cuz people stupidly and blindly praise him like he's a god just cuz they love him as Syler from Heroes, but news flash Heroes fans, HE'S NOT SYLAR IN THE TREK MOVIE. HE'S SPOCK! As a die hard Trek fan and purist, Spock should at least not be the one to have relationships like that. To me, that's TOO unreal.

@JMYodaTHX red matter, borgified tribble ship with space trucker from hell, Vulcan being destroyed, overall retarded plot and dumbing down of tech for the mindless masses and the ugliest Enterprise I've ever seen. What they created was a dud timeline for morons, by morons.

Roberto, I have read that you would like to read the Trek novels. I offer my complete library to you on one condition: afterwards, you and I will sit down so that I may inform you that it is Trekkie and NOT Trekker. If you knew anything about Trek, you should know that. The Great Bird himself said it was so. I blame you and no one else for the direction the franchise is taking. Save Star Trek from mediocrity. You may even wear that dopey hat.

So.... "We named a character in the movie after him", would that be Mark Lenard being his uncle?

[JMYodaTHX]

@MrJohnnyrace Your welcome. :)

[MrJohnnyrace]

@JMYodaTHX Thankyou very much !!!!! I love Star Trek !!!

[JMYodaTHX]

@MrJohnnyrace If you mean the Original series episode "The Trouble With Tribbles" it was Written by David Gerrold Then they did a follow-up on the Animated Series & crossover on an episode of DS9 "Trials and Tribblations" which used amazing FX to use TOS footage with the new DS9 footage. check out "/watch?v=l6KGOkzbf_c"

That said. The immense popularity of the TOS ep is what led Nimoy to make ST-IV a comedy. If you account for inflation it's till the most popular (Box Office)Trek film.

@toriElena - YES, SLJ. must be in QT's TREK. In the tradition of a list we made in a Star Wars club I use to belong to , here is SLJ in QT's TREK.. , "Hand me my phaser, it's the one that says bad motherf***er on it!", "Varon-T Disruptor, when you absolutely, positively, have to kill every single motherf***er in the room; ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE!", "I'm tired of these mother f***ing tribbles on this motherf***ing space-station!!" (the last one wasn't QT inspired but I had to add it....)

[toriElena]

@JMYodaTHX But of course! lol...and you know Samuel Jackson would have to have a part in QT's Trek and that guy that played "Q" in TNG and Voyager. I just loved his character. So funny.
