    I'd agree with that breakdown. While the Final Frontier might be pretty lame, It is the dynamic between Spock, Kirk and McCoy that still makes it watchable for me, despite the outrageous storyline. That dynamic is present in all of the films up to Undiscovered Country, lets not talk about Generations though. Abrams delivered a couple of enjoyable films, but they are just space fantasy action flicks. Notwithstanding Nimoy's appearances, and the characters names, the new films lack any trace what makes Star Trek and what made TOS special. Might as well call it Space Force in the 23rd Century. yesss. it's amazing that the TOS managed to nail it imo. replicating what made the TOS work ( the good cast + bond between characters ) but still managed to completely fuck it up with just about every film. The Final Frontier i find funny more just because it's shatners turn to direct a film and i can barely stomach the end product at all. TOS was, and still is some great sci fiction, even if the social commentary was a little hokey at times. The fact that they managed to revisit the characters 10 years later and update them, particularly Spock, while still maintaining the vibe that made the TV series so great is impressive. The relationships between the main characters in the new films are not believable. For me. the death scene from Into Darkness rings hollow, I don't see much chemistry between the characters, they are just aping previous performances (imo) It reminds me of this type of criminal behaviour: [youtubehd]bxU2eqZtYmc[/youtubehd] And Final Frontier is rubbish, but come on, we are in some serious so bad its good territory [youtubehd]dxk1BSQo8bg[/youtubehd]

    Alex Kurtzman producing probably means this will be connected to the Abrams universe.... However, new Star Trek is new Star Trek, and I'd be interested to see a new cast and Captain. I would have loved to see a Worf show that was touted a couple of years ago. He would have gone through a ship an episode! [youtubehd]rTAx8r_090o[/youtubehd]

    Symbol from 2004 will always have a special place in my memory, need to revisit a lot of his work.

    The show has been fantastic so far, I loved the novel, as well as the short story collection The Ladies of Grace Adieu. The novel is bloated in places, and meanders to its conclusion, but I always forgave it its sins. The show has been the reverse, rocketing through the story, which is a shame as Stephen has had some nice sequences cut, and Strange's campaigning with Wellington didn't have the detail I was hopping for, despite some fantastic scenes. I wasn't sure about the chap playing Strange, but he has done a sterling job, looks like he has done a lot of voice work for video games. Not as strong as episode 1, but still enjoying the new season. Couple of dud flashbacks that didn't add much. The stag/corpse really looked like something out of Silent Hill 2. The music has been one of the highlights so far, really need to get the set from Invada. Will Graham needs some hugs, poor guy.

    Mmmmm, Toblerone... The background for the site should be switched to Teal in support.

    I used to hide this track in playlists at work, then bugger off to get a tea while it played. As terrible as their music is, I could imagine hangout with these guys at a caravan holiday park, getting shitfaced and partying the night away, probably playing crazy golf. I've always seen E17 as the evil reflection of The Prodigy. The Keyboard one. The crazy one. The other two dudes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a3ETB5QFrM

    This video sheds a little more light upon Raed. Sounds like a nice guy. [youtubehd]Kku_0Y32DL8[/youtubehd]

    Correct! What a film. Always makes me think of Naked by Talking Heads (one with the chimp on the cover) coincidentally also released in 1988.
