[Moonbase2]

Same for me.I went the last time they did something like this and I loved it and there doing so much more this time.

[Insurgent]

None near me? Ah well. Can't say I'm surprised. Still, it's good fun when museums and stuff like this happens. If your sneaky, you get to sit on the captains chair.

Where are you buddy???

[Insurgent]

The good ol' UK. That's why I'm not surprised there's none near me.

I could upload my ODB avatar again, but I can't be bothered considering it'll probably get wiped again.

Still, a museum near me has had 2 star trek exhibitions that I went to, and I have been to a museum in LA with props and costumes in, and I've been on the Paramount studio tour when they were filming the final few eps of Enterprise, so it's not like I haven't seen my fair share of good stuff from the show. It would be nice to see some more though.

Tyler Perry’s Star Trek Movie Adventure - UGO Exclusive
Posted by Patrick on 12/29 at 10:35 PM

I heard some reeeeaallly interesting things today about J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. I’ll share all the details eventually but for the moment let’s break a piece of exclusive info: that writer/director Tyler Perry has a role in the new Star Trek movie. If you want to know who Perry is playing and how his character impacts the lives of young Kirk and Spock, beware of spoilers and click on through to read about it. And I mean that: SPOILERS ARE AHEAD!

It looks like Perry is playing the head of Starfleet Academy. Before you go asking if the character is going to be a human being or one of those funky aliens with a dozen more nostrils, it looks like Perry’s character is a plain old fashioned human.

Here’s some background on the dude: Tyler Perry is one of the bigger breakthrough success stories that Hollywood has had recently. He began his career and won acclaim as a playwright before moving into film. He’s directed and written the screen stories for Madea’s Family Reunion, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Daddy’s Little Girls and his latest hit which came out earlier in the year, Why Did I Get Married?. If the man’s a Trekkie he’s kept it quiet or maybe J.J. is just a fan of Madea.

My informant tells me about a big scene that was filmed a couple of weeks back that involved Perry, Chris Pine (the young James T. Kirk), Zachary Quinto (young Spock) and dozens of other extras. Now really, if you’re here then you already decided that you wanted to be spoiled, but here comes the bigger spoilers…

...Tyler’s character is overseeing some kind of Starfleet courtroom/assembly event where young Kirk is facing expulsion from Starfleet. It turns out that the Starfleet prez didn’t look too favorably on Cadet Kirk for “cheating” on one of his critical tests. And all you Trekkies out there know exactly what it is Kirk did: he rigged the Kobayashi Maru test so he could win it.

(For those that don’t know their Tribbles from Andorians, the Kobayashi Maru is a piece of Trek lore introduced in Star Trek II. Starfleet cadets are placed inside a starship simulator and given a no-win scenario: either try and rescue the survivors of a stranded space freighter trapped behind the Klingon Neutral Zone and thus in enemy space or listen to them die when they are found by the Klingons. The test is designed that there is no possible outcome where you save the Maru survivors and beat the Klingons; it’s supposed to give cadets a taste of what it’s like to be working under pressure as you face probably death. Kirk won the Kobayashi Maru test by reprogramming the scenario so he could actually win it because, as the dude himself said, “I don’t like to lose.")

So young Kirk is standing in front of his peers (human and alien Starfleet cadets and officers) and facing immediate expulsion from the Academy. After hearing the charge from Perry’s character, Chris Pine-as-Kirk delivers a speech in the same vein as some of the classic Kirk speeches from the TV series. He wants to know how his cheating was found out, and it’s revealed that there was a witness to Kirk’s act. Kirk immediately demands to know who the witness was so he can face his accuser.

And that’s when Zachary Quinto-as-Spock stands up. Yup, he’s the one that ratted on Kirk reprogramming the Kobayashi Maru test and he’s the reason why Kirk is about to be expelled from Starfleet. And then…

I’m going to cut it short there for now because I want to follow up with my source and ask some more questions about what happens next. Yeah, I’m leaving you hanging here but it can’t be helped. Besides, it’s the holidays and breaking news is practically non-existent so if I can stretch this out and come back with more spoilers from Star Trek, why not? Plus I want to be able to explain how the new costumes fit into Trek continuity and what they look like…

I promise to be back tomorrow with more. But before I close hailing frequencies I’ve got one final story detail to relate to you: at the start of that day’s filming J.J. addressed the assembled cast and told them that he was extremely happy to have Tyler Perry being a part of his Star Trek movie for many reasons, but one of the biggest was that this would mark the first time that Perry has appeared in a movie outside of his own projects.

Seacrest out!

Sharpen your Batleths my friends (yes, I know that's the wrong spelling, I can never spell in Klingon so I did it like it sounds), these spoilers for Trek XI are gonna make some people somewhat upset. Myself included.

As I wrote on another board:

I have nothing to say to that except...


WHAT THE SLAGGING HELL ARE THEY DOING????????


Ahem. Complete rewrites of history and things is fine and good if starting a new continuity, like the Bayformers. THat's why I didn't care about the changes. It's a new film world. But this is suppossed to be set in teh same continuity as the rest of Trek. Which means CONSITANCY MATTERS!!!!!

I would normaly agree but it looks like there going with the idea I posted way back on one of the first pages of this thread.

The events that lead old Spock to travel to the past end up changing the past to such a degree that the history we all know will be changed.

Sucks.

You should try the "Star Trek Experience" over in Vegas the next time your state side.I can't begin to tell you how awsome it was.

ST:E in the Vegas Hilton is awesome! But I haven't been since before the Borg 4D attraction opened.
Can any one tell me if it is cool? What's the "jist of it?" (no big spoilers please).

-I.P.

Wish I could help you but the last time I went was about 2 months before they opened that attraction.

Well, you helped jog my memory in the other ST thread, so you're still batting .500!

Why thank you

What do you guys think of the new Enterprise? Looks pretty spiffy!

'New' Enterprise? Did I miss pics from the new movie getting posted?

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Do you have a link to any offical pic's of the new ship????I have seen so many different designs that I have no clue which one is offical.

[Moonbase2]

Don't know if it's "official", but if it is....

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Don't know if it's "official", but if it is....

Hard to really tell anything from that pic but I like the colors they chose.

[Moonbase2]

Wonder where they are building it. Think this is going to be like the last scene or something, kind of like the whole Death Star construction thing with Vader?

I'm hopping that's ether a scene of a refit or a repair because if thats a scene of the ship being built then there changing history again.

Why, did they do that in the Enterprise show? See, I don't consider that Star Trek. So it wouldn't bother me. It looks like it's being built, man.

[Senor Hugo]

Yeah, that image is real.

There was a teaser for the movie in Cloverfield.

They showed something being built, they slowly panned around the ship, then boom, Nemoy saying "Space, the final frontier" then right on into epic Star Trek theme. Instead of "coming soon" they put "Under Construction" to end it out.

It was awesome.

and by awesome, I mean this type of awesome.
