So, this is allegedly the first photograph ever taken and it seems to have what appears to be a stardestroyer in it :)
I've seen pictures of Elvis having lunch with Bigfoot that are of better quality than this photo. ;)
Where is this from?
Kodos the Executioner? That's the only Kodos I know, and not a Klingon...
JEDIT:Simpsons joke, eh?
Shhh! Someone recently bought the DVD of that for Frink. It's a secret. ;)
I think everybody has just been busy with other things. I know I have!
A stereo simulcast recording might be useful, if there are any audio differences between the original broadcast and the later video releases. I only know of differences in Battle For Endor though.
In the last shot of the crash, where the bridge section lunges towards the camera, it cracks the lens?
The beauty of TWOK is that it made the most of a paltry budget, (compared to TMP) recycled sets and miniatures, and the main antagonists never actually meet face to face. It's been compared the WWII submarine film The Enemy Below. I'd like to see Nick Meyer direct another Trek film since there may be a job opening up.
"What would you do for family?" was well answered by Star Trek III. TWOK, TSFS, TVH form a trilogy of sorts. TUC already explored what people would do out of fear to preserve the status quo in the Federation.
I think one of the problems I'm having is STID really isn't asking any new questions. It's not bringing anything new to the table. The franchise needs to look forward, not back. I realize that for younger fans who wouldn't be caught dead watching the "old" stuff, this won't be an issue. It's their loss.
And Paramount needs to get the next movie out sooner. Four years is too long to wait, and that other space franchise may soon steal it's thunder.
Mayhew refers to it as a lightsaber in one of his other tweets. The TSA are clearly working for the Empire!
I sincerely hope Peter will be up for the rigors of playing Chewie again. I can't even imagine someone else in the suit. He is to Chewie what the late Kevin Peter Hall was to the original Predator and Harry. You can't just put any bloke in that costume.
They freaked out over a lightsaber cane? Idiots...
Ah, but were there not comments about the smell after the dinner scene in TUC?
Kor, Koloth and Kang (all first encountered in TOS) also appeared on DS9.
If you want to see the fandom split down the middle on a Trek film, dig into some old Starlog issues at archive.org, and read the reactions to TMP. Even TWOK wasn't universally beloved by everyone back in the day.
Neat! I've long wished the prequel battledroids were based on him.
I don't know whether to offer him a bounty or pour a drink from his head. ;)
Because after four years all they could come up with is Wrath of Khan redux?
I'm sure younger fans will love it. It's a well made film, but I don't love it like I did the 2009 film. I simply have no desire to see it again at the moment.
If the powers that be don't give a damn about the older fanbase, I'll find something else to spend my money on.
General Madine, if only to finally find out what's with that hairdo! ;)
I still think they could work something out. Disney has partnered with other studios before in the past. None of the current Marvel films actually has a Disney logo at the beginning do they?
Been watching the Francis The Talking Mule movies from the '50's lately, and was tickled pink to spot a very young Leonard Nimoy in a bit part. Along with a young David Janssen and James Best. That's right, The Fugitive, Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and Spock all in the same movie!

The only other 50's film I've seen Nimoy in is the Republic serial Zombies of the Stratosphere.
Outside The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, have you ever spotted a future Trek actor in other tv shows and movies?
On a related note, I was watching one of the later seasons of Mission: Impossible a while back, when Nimoy was a regular. There's an episode where he's in an apartment, and a Saurian Brandy bottle is on a table. Nimoy even glances at it! That had to be some sort of inside joke.
I keep hoping with Disney in the picture that Criterion could somehow license the OOT from them. They're about the only company that could do it right. They've done some Touchstone films since the Laserdisc era, so there is a line of communication there.
Fans have been debating that one for decades now. ;)
The transporter has always been a story problem in that it can be a magical problem solver in one episode or movie, that is forgotten about when a similar dilemma comes up. One reason it frequently gets damaged, or external phenomena renders it useless.
TAS and TNG opened a can of worms in using molecular patterns to reconstitute a character or restore them to health. (The person doesn't remember anything that happened after they last beamed out.) Which leads to the thorny question why you can't beam up someone who just died in your landing party and restore them to life, as the "alive" pattern is still in the buffer?
Well, if your goal was to confuse me, congrats. ;)
Maybe Hayden says it somewhere in the DVD extras?
It could be the movie in the opera house scene? Palpatine had to be inspired by something, since I don't buy that they had a scary black iron lung suit handy when Anakin gets the near fatal sunburn. ;)
Isn't there a Darth Vader riff in Toy Story 2?
I had some of those when I was little. Never thought of them for a color reference before!
Speaking of super 8, Derann released a lot of Disney films. (There's a Peter Pan print up for sale right now.) I've seen prints listed on Ebay of nearly all the classics up to TLK. How they handled the slightly wider aspect ratios on the later films, I have no idea.
Has there ever been an official translation of "E Chu ta!"
What kind of sick mind programs a droid to be a potty mouth anyway?
