What the heck is a warf?

Warf

Sorry, I’m just so used to spelling it with an A. WARF is such a phenomenon here in the states!

I love that scene, especially with Worf chowing down while everyone else is thoroughly disgusted.

“Delicious.” — Worf

IIRC, he also liked the horribly replicated food Geordi complained about when they were visiting DS9.

Where were you in '77?

I read somewhere that this guy wanted to make Abramsverse TNG. As much as I would hate that (a lot) and as much as I doubt that is the case (even more), trying to cast this mentally is fun.

The casting of the Abrams Star Trek movies was pretty great. I enjoyed those movies a lot as cool sci-fi action movies, but the trek name was merely a label for an action-thriller series paying homage to the original on occasion. I can separate it completely from the original series and enjoy as it’s own thing. Doesn’t hold a candle to even the most mediocre of two-part Trek episodes though

So for the 50th anniversary, we aren’t getting the much sought remasters? I fear this was our last chance…

Is James McAvoy as Picard too obvious?

What about Tom Hardy, some daft producer thought he was a dead ringer. 😉

Let’s just have Rick Berman play everyone! Copy and paste him all over the place and he can be every character.

I’ve heard that the color timing on the blu rays of the movies (I-VI) is heavily altered from the original versions but I can’t find many examples of this. When I was watching them all some time after I got the set for Christmas, I noticed a lot of DNR on VI and the colors looked odd but I haven’t seen any other version so I have nothing to compare it to (except one film cell I have on my wall).

Ah, the Special Longer Version. Now, I love, TMP more than most people do. It actually was my introduction to Trek. But I don’t think I could watch an even longer version of an already slow movie.

You never saw my fanedit / restoration of The SLV of TMP in widescreen? 😦

Alright Wook, I think I’ve fixed it. It seems to take a while to upload for me so it should be fine soon.

As for your restoration, FanFiltration, no I have not. I’ve never been able to download any edits or restorations to watch because my computer sucks too much to download anything really. As soon as I have a good one, I might check it out after I get Harmy’s Trilogy (assuming an official release isn’t out by then).

It’s so wide now it’s going off the left side now. Try again?

Why is there a bloody stump in the middle of it now?

Okay, is it good now? It should be… If not, I’ll just delete it and try again some other time.

Bloody stump?

And what about the pig man eating bacon? Is that really necessary?
