Ha. I don't have to do that TJI now -- reality made my point for me. Abrams is apparently the producer, but he's not the director, and the Academy thing was just one more resurfacing of one of Trek's oldest rumours. It may all happen anyway, but this "announcement" still won't have mattered.


In the Andromeda episode I watched yesterday, Dylan quotes his mentor, Admiral Stark: "If your mother says she loves you, verify it." How much more should you verify what Variety magazine says?

Note though, he just said some of the information in the report was not true.

He did not deny the academy plot outright, in fact...

Wow, that explains so much

Makes you think don't it?

No, what's scary is that on another forum I frequent, one poster sugested a series of basic plots that could actually make such a movie good! I'll see if I can dig it up.

EDIT: Found it.

One wonders why the academy students idea was thrown around at all.
One also wonders why we want another Star Trek movie after Nemesis (Not saying it wouldn't be good, but look at the last one.)
There's kind of not much more you can do with TNG, pretty much the only thing they could do is the years they skipped between the second-last and last episodes of Enterprise.
...Hey, a thought! What if that thing I said?

Nemesis was great. Not First Contact great, but great.

Boy, I was pretty smug in that newspost, wasn't I? I think I need a slap or something.

Hmm.... I sense a Kirk Revival...

Maybe even an Enterprise Revival. (The ship, not the show.)

I sense a disturbance in the Braga... things are going exactly as I have forseen...

*'Yodck' proceeds to light-spork 'Richardson'*

I want Bryan Singer to do it. If Paramount doesn't go with him, they're practically just throwin' their money away.

Also, if this does come out in 2008, it's the most half-assed "forced hiatus" I ever saw. I may not think the hiatus move was the best idea at the time, but now that they've done it... they should at least stick with it, right?

It's silly.

Not "Wii" silly, but silly nonetheless.

I'm laughing about this "Wii" thing so hard that I'm crying as we type right now!

But back on topic... er... I don't know. ._.

*runs crying and screaming*

*from a distance* They'll change it back! They'll have to!

I didn't understand this when I first read it.
Then I went to www.gameinformer.com
Now I understand. :lol:

*blinks* :shock:

They are calling a gaming system... Wii?

*blinks again*

The had every word available in the English language and they chose... Wii?

They clearly pay those naming people far too much.

...or, thinking about it, way too little, and this is their way of getting revenge.

Because.

...Man, that joke was dead before it hit the ground. (So expect to hear it a lot.)

What the hell are they gonna call the next Game Boy? The Mii? I don't care how meaningful it is, it's had me screaming, "Wheeeeeeeeee!" all day making people give me weird stares and stuff. I dropped out of school specifically to avoid that stuff.

*runs back into a normal viewing distance*

I'll be fine, only because my preferred choice of words aren't a valid choice on this board. I...I...*sigh*

I guess I'll be preordering a Wii.

Hey, I'll be preordering it just the same. I just worry Nintendo has shot themselves in the foot by giving their new system a name so silly, nobody's gonna go for it.

And Revolution was such the perfect name too....

But now that I've thought on it more, I thought "iPod" sounded silly too. So what do I know?

But nobody says, "Out of the way, I'm going to iPod myself if I don't get to a toilet soon!" do they?

...we should start doing that. Seriously.

^ Honestly I've never said "wee" in that situation either. Always "pee". But it's doubtful people would have had as much a problem with the Nintendo "P" or even "Pii".

What, like Piikachu? :D

It's probably because, against our will, Those Of Us Who Have A Problem With The Name have been stuck saying, "Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" in a high-piched voice ever since we found out.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Just popping in to give another vote in favor of an Academy movie. I've been all for that the last ten years. If they did Kirk as a kid right, that is, respecting the backstory that has been built around him in the Expanded Universe (i.e. make a movie of the book Best Destiny, or something like it), that'd be cool. I mean, "do it right" literally. They lost A LOT of fans in that debacle called "let's rewrite 22nd century history the way we want to and spit in the face of what we've already said."

Not that I'm dissing Enterprise. It's a decent show. It's just not Star Trek. It's a freaky alternate version of the Star Trek universe I've come to love.
