John the Ripper

I know how he did it, what I'm asking is WHY!?!?! No half sane director could look at a script like that and think it even came close to the original trilogy in terms of quality. Is it really that unreasonable to make the characters a little likable (We all already knew he was going to turn evil, but I've seen likable characters turn that evil before, it's not hard)? I'm mean he turned Darth Vader, arguably one of the greatest villians in movie history, into someone so freaking annoying and whiny I lost every ounce of respct I ever had for the character.

I've been here a while, and I have yet to see an active thread for gamers, so i thought I'd make one myself. Now to anyone who wants to talk, I thought we'd start off with what stratagies you like (or what ever else works). In games that allow for experimenting with fighting stratagies, are you the time to leap face first into combat, or do you like to sit back and plan first? I'm proud to admit that if you give me a choice, I'm the type who grabs the largest blunt object avaliable and swing away. But what about you?

I haven't seen enough to really say, but from what I've seen of the Original Series, it's no wonder Star Trek has become the unstoppable juggernaut it is today. And thankfully they didn't screw up the new movie like they did with Star Wars (Lucas why would you do that to us?).

Atragon I've heard that joke a million times and I have no clue, I'm sorry for my fail.

Is no one interested in my silliness?

I never expected to see someone to be quoting shakespeare, and Monty Python within the same thread page.

Indeed, it scares me as well. Especially when I'm the one eating it.

 

And to break away from the topic we're suddenly starting...

 

This story shall the good man teach his son;

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be remember'd;

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition:

And gentlemen in England now a-bed

Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

No clue what you're talking about there chief.

The concept of "Mystery Meat" actually kinda scares me a little.

Lol...nice job as the frenchman on the tower.

 

I had pizza for Thanksgiving by the way. Quite Tasty.

 

-Precip

Yeah he's the only person I've met who can actually say the lines correctly. Pizza for Thanksgiving? Something about that just seems so wrong to me.

Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called Ripper-John, you and all your silly English kaniggets. Thppppt!

But I'm German.

But I look up recipes online and they dumped CHOCOLATE IN IT, NO ALCOHOL! I can't believe that.

CHOCOLATE?!?!?! In a KLINGON drink?? And non alcoholic to boot? That's just sick

"Spam,Spam,Spam,Spam...oh wonderful Spam...Spam with eggs,with spam and toast on the side." "Spam,Spam,Spam,Spam...oh lovely wonderful Spam".

 

And now for something completely different...:Ques the MP theme:..! :D

Do you quote anything OTHER then Monty Python? I mean Monty Python is awesome I'm glad you agree on that, but it gets very old, very quickly if you don't give it a rest.

Well yeah, of course it's alcoholic, it's a KLINGON drink.

I am not dead yet, I can dance and I can sing!

I am not dead yet, I can do the Highland Fling!

I am not dead yet, no need to go to bed --

No need to call the doctor 'cos I'm not yet dead!

SPAMALOT!!!!! I love Monty Python.

I don't know you, but Happy birthday anyway T,lak.

When I first saw Spock, I hated him.

I never really had an opinion on him until now, I was raised on Next Generation.

;) I can't really blame Uhura.

No you really can't, I mean who doesn't love Vulcans? Most of them are one soft english accent away from being Elves (From space).

Oh speaking of Monty Python, go on youtube and search, Star Trek meets Monty Python, it's the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. Oh and Sovak, in my opinion, anyone who doesn't like Galaxy Quest fails at life just a little, I mean how is it possible to be such a serious sourpuss that you don't find that funny (Vulcans at least would have an excuse).

The Spock/Uhuru romance thing has been done before, and is one of many topics explored throughout this thread:

 

Touched on briefly in the 1st season Original Series episode Charlie X.

 

It was an off duty lounge scene, Uhuru was singing and teasing him, he was smirking -- yes, smirking, TOS Spock was actually showing emotion -- and the impression was that the two had some sort of past chemistry/romantic leanings. Any hinted at Uhuru/Spock romantic chemistry was dropped for the remainder of the series, obviously, along with any noticeable future slips into emotion for Spock.

 

DVD extras confirm:

 

I *think* during either Quinto's introduction or Saldana's (Casting), there is a voiceover that confirms -- I'm paraphrasing here -- the Spock/Uhuru characters are exploring a past path never taken with the two Trek characters. In other words, a revisit to Charlie X expanded.

 

Mister Loverboy:

 

Of course Kirk was staring at Uhuru and Spock kissing on the platform...this guy is used to getting all the girls! He hit on her in the bar scene. He kept trying to get her to tell him her first name. He, ah, had relations we assume with her roommate. Mister Loverboy is prolly shocked Uhuru went for Spock instead of him! ;)

 

**SPOILERS**

 

Anyone catch the Rura Penthe excerpt among the deleted scenes?

 

The helmets that that Klingon guards sport remind me of the Predator helmets from Predator/Aliens vs. Predator movies.

Kirk is just shameless about that, I mean is there nothing he won't hit on? But really I have never seen anything in a movie that suprised me more then that. Oh and Karl Urban as Bones was so perfect that it nearly overshadowed everyone else.

Yes?

Vikings are awesome.

Hello (I'm sorry if this thread is considered too dead), I saw that movie and I loved it, although I do have two MAJOR gripes with it. Firstly with Uhura I felt like they took one of the most influencial women in TV history, and simply dumbed her down for straight up sex appeal. Secondly, Spock and Uhura hooked up, are you ****ing kidding me?!?!?! I'm all for taking a series in a new direction (As long as the do it well of course), but that was just a bit much if you ask me.

Oh Ok it was a youtube video titled Star Trek Meets Monty Python. It's super hilarious, but to get the joke you'll have to go watch "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."

Hey this has probably been done before but I'm doing it now if that's all right. Ok this is meant to be a light hearted thread so try not to get to serious. Anything Star Trek related and funny is welcome here, so to start things off here's one of the best things in the histery of everything

I definitly will, soon I'm going to observe one of the advance sims and see what to expect. And don't worry about being friendly I have no intention of messing this place up.

15 YEARS!! I had no idea this had been around for so long, anyway, thank you for making me feel welcome. I've loved Star Trek for years so a place like this is a dream come true esspecially since I can't afford that Star Trek MMO.

Ohh so that's how you spell it, no wonder I never found anything. Thanks, I just had to ask, I've been wondering about it for days.
