    I'd be willing to do that except that ticket prices, even for matinees, have reached the point where I want to be damn sure that I'll get my money's worth out of the movie before handing it over to the theater. So if the trailer makes the movie look bad or just mediocre, then I'm inclined to skip it until it's on DVD/Netflix/whatever.

    Man in the Iron Mask. D'artangion is in charge of the Musketeers (or was it the Royal Guard?) and the other three have retired.

    I know, which makes it a pass for me. I'll wait until it's on Netflix.
  5. Loved the first one, but I'm a bit iffy on the sequel. It looks like they're pushing the Steampunk and explosions a bit far.

    Might want to tell that to Wash. He's a leaf on the wind, you know.

    You must die!

    Hell no I don't let myself get killed. I go from my current dull, unfulfilling life to causing a world ending catastrophe of some sort? I want to see that **** go down, man.

    Indeed there was. And it was every bit as cheesy as the original.

    The man should've at least had the brains to recognize the difference between English and Russian. If I was in that audience I would've laughed his butt off stage.

  11. Not who I would've pegged for reviving Trek on TV, but I don't think he's the worst choice to do it. It's obvious from Family Guy and American Dad that MacFarlane loves Star Trek, but he doesn't take it as seriously as most Trekkies do.

    Hell yeah. In the Pale Moonlight is easily my favorite episode of Star Trek ever.

    I'd like to see more of the Breen too, but I think they'd be hard to pull off as primary antagonists. They speak in that electronic tone language, it would be like a Star Wars movie where the main villains were a group of evil astromech droids.

    I'd like to see the Gorn brought back as a series big bad. It would take some CG work to make them look good, but I think it would be interesting to give them more development.

    Ideally they'd look something like this:


    Not this:


    Or this

    Then don't celebrate it as the day the Pilgrims got together with the Native Americans to commemorate a bountiful harvest. It was made a national holiday by Lincoln as a day to celebrate the nation's good fortune and prosperity in the midst of a bloody, gruesome, terrible war. In that spirit, celebrate it as a day to look on the bright side of life.

    Season 1 episode 6 FTW!
    The revolution started in the last... six(?) episodes of the series (Garak had some really good moments during that mini-arc). It was short lived, since the Dominion War was wrapped up quickly after it started, but the Cardassians suffered casualties in the millions because they'd really pissed off the Dominion, which decided to implement a scorched earth retaliation policy.

Likewise the idea that a opportunistic group like the Ferengi have become more powerful in the Star Trek galaxy is a perfect analogy to that. Should be interesting if they handle it well.
    I could see that happening, but not with the Ferengi. They're greedy, scheming opportunists, true, but they're also craven cowards. In a situation that could result in physical violence, they're almost guaranteed to back down. I really can't imagine that kind of species becoming a rival power on par with the Federation. At least, not without some radical shifts in their culture that would seem totally out of character (unless there's a jump of a few hundred years). Maybe they could become the interstellar equivalent of locusts, moving to a planet, stripping it of its resources, and moving on to another, but that's about it.

    -The only thing Abrams' movie did in the prime universe is destroy Romulus, this can leave a power vacuum and a need for help the Ferengi could fill... for a price.
    -Also the remnants of the Dominion War, having the Ferengi swoop in and begin a sort of business occupation of Cardassia after the shenanigans that went on there.
    -With the Ferengi essentially in control of these two powerful governments, the Federation is starting to look a little small.
    That's a possibility, but it feels really out of character for the Cardassians and Romulans, not to mention the Federation.

    The Cardassians ended up regretting their alliance with the Dominion, came to realize that they were a subjugated people, and started a bloody (if short) revolution to get rid of them. After all of that, I can't imagine that the Cardassians would then turn around and strike deals with the Ferengi that would, essentially, re-subjugate them. And regardless of their need, I don't think the Cardassians would have to turn to the Ferengi for aid anyway. The Federation would quickly set up aid shipments and start working with the Cardassians to provide for basic needs and begin the rebuilding of their world.

    As for the Romulans, with their superiority complex they'd probably prefer death over subjugation, especially if the Ferengi were the subjugators. I think it would be more likely that a civil war would break out in Romulan space as various factions vie for control. With the Empire weak, other powers would move in to try claiming some of their territory, with the most likely candidates being the Klingons and possibly the Breen and Tholians.

    I can't really picture the Ferengi being a serious threat in Star Trek. It's just... their heads look like butts.

    Seemed in character to me. Q was feeling exceptionally playful and wanted to see how much further he could push Sisko.
