Anyone know anything about a possible new movie? I heard a while back they were yapping about doing one about Kirk and Spock attending the Starfleet Academy but have not heard anything of late.

I also heard about one to do with the Romulan war..

I wonder if it is too soon still to have another movie?

I have wondered many times if a 'Star Trek' with Captain Sulu and the U.S.S. Excelsior would of been better than doing the Star Trek:Enterprise" thing?

It could of started at the end of the "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" and went on from there.

Surely it would not of done or been as bad as "Enterprise', as prequels like 'Enterprise' don't really work.

lol, that can happen to anyone. I once wrote "alloy" rather than "annoy". :P

Edit: Mr. Spock: yeah, I hear about a movie comming soon.  Wikipedia has an article on it.

Star Trek fans beam into Canada's wild west

A Klingon is an unexpected sight in Canada's vast western plains, among the lonely oil wells, cow pastures and wheat fields.

But hundreds of the ferocious warriors from Gene Roddenberry's fictional Star Trek universe gathered here this weekend for the town's annual Spock Days and Galaxyfest -- a three-day space festival and Star Trek convention.

"It's escapism," said Canada's head Klingon QelIv Satir, also known as Paul Carreau of Calgary, wearing a studded leather uniform and frightening makeup that takes up to two hours to put on.

"The original Star Trek series was full of promise and hope at a time of despair, civil unrest and the Vietnam War. Gene Roddenberry showed us a model for a better world," he said. "We're just living it here."

Every year, the agricultural town's population swells from 1,900 to 3,800 for the parties, parade and this year, a "Klingon Fear Factor" competition.

Local radio weatherman "Captain Kirk" on Friday predicted a mix of overcast skies and sun, as the only two hotels in town and area campgrounds began filling up with tourists from around the world.

They are welcomed by a five-ton (5,080-kilogram) Constitution Class starship at the entrance to town and plush Tribbles -- furry Star Trek creatures -- in every shop.

Contrary to popular belief, however, the town was not named after Mr. Spock's home world in the television series.

Rather, a surveyor with a keen interest in Roman mythology named the railway stop in 1910 after the god of fire, 56 years before the first episode of Star Trek aired on American television.

Over the years, players on the local hockey team have been ribbed about their "extra large and pointy ears," town councilors have donned Starfleet uniforms while conducting municipal business, and a meteorite unearthed in a farmer's field was heralded as a cosmic discovery in the community paper.


Ha I wish I was there. That looks like one groovy party.

Sometimes I'll watch Star Trek when there's nothing else on.  I hate the Next Generation ones though.

I also like to watch Stsr Trek and often watch them over and over again on sky and enjoy each one the same as the first time i watched them.

My favourite is Voyager with the last series being the best followed by The Next Generation.

I find the original now outdated, Deep Space 9 was OK but i cant get along with Enterprise series.

I also like all the film made by them with First Contact being my favourite.

Another 'Star Trek' actor in the sky as asteroid named for George Takei

George Takei already had a place among the stars in the minds of millions of "Star Trek" fans. Now he's taking up permanent residence as the namesake of the asteroid formerly known as the 1994 GT9.

The asteroid, located between Mars and Jupiter, has been renamed 7307 Takei in honour of the actor, who is best known for his role as Hikaru Sulu in the original "Star Trek" series.

"I am now a heavenly body," Takei said Tuesday, laughing. "I found out about it yesterday. . . . I was blown away. It came out of the clear, blue sky - just like an asteroid.


Cool. I wish I could get an asteroid named after me. ;)

I like watching the reruns of that really old Star Trek series. Much of the time they're OK episodes, but they are entertaining enough on a boring night, and there are often memorable scenes and dialog.

TNG is my favorite Star Trek series, followed by DS9, TOS, and Voyager. I only saw a few episodes of Enterprise; Scott Bakula as a Kirk-wannabe was unbelievable and Dr. Phlox just gave me the creeps. A series with Sulu in the captain's chair sounds good, but you know what I think would really revive the franchise and bring in a new generation of fans? A series set in Starfleet Academy.

I could never really get into any of the Treks, the plot usually makes sense and is usually well rounded, but everything just takes to long to happen (slow Paced).
