Podcast appearances and mentions of George Kirk

We're gonna set it straight, this neonate film series of all new Trek adventure with our ill communication about Star Trek 2009!New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz returns to the show this week to talk about the film series that turned Trek into a blockbuster and introduced a whole new generation to the adventures of Kirk and crew. When Romulus is destroyed at the end of the 24th century, the vengeful Nero is thrown into an alternate 23rd century, where his rampage takes the life of George Kirk. Now, George's son Jim will have to overcome his personal flaws and realize his destiny to take command of the USS Enterprise to save Earth and the Federation!As the TNG series of films wound down at the box office, Paramount returned to a question that had plagued the studio for over 20 years: "How could you ever recast Captain Kirk?" To finally answer that question, they turned to genre tv and film wunderkind JJ Abrams to give the familiar characters and world of Star Trek a makeover for the new millennium. The result was a zippy and stylish film that eschewed almost 50 years of continuity to instead boil the characters of Kirk, Spock, et al. to their essential qualities. The result was a reinvigoration of the Trek film franchise and a welcoming of the often niche property into the fraternity of cinematic popcorn blockbusters. In the first half of our conversation about Star Trek 2009, we talk about the process behind reimagining the franchise for a new audience, interfacing with nostalgia, the "Wars-ening" of Star Trek, the previous attempts to reboot the franchise, Abrams as a director, the film's exemplary casting, and the importance of a memorable score.We also discuss built-in doomscrolling, Medea Goes to Qo'nos, spacing in comfort, avoiding "the chompers", rotoscoping Spock, wife vs. Spielberg, the Raimi Trek that never was, mining torpedoes, missing Remans, replicator questions, the lonely French horn in space, a different kind of cantina scene, the Shatnerverse, Kirk's "Maverick moment", and 721 lens flares!Reverse the curse!Follow Alan on Twitter and get his new book "Two Degrees"!http://www.twitter.com/alangratzhttps://www.alangratz.com/writing/two-degrees/Learn the story behind your favorite Trek episodes with BackTrekking!http://www.twitter.com/backtrekkingSay HELLO to us on Facebook and Twitter and the Just Enough Trope Discord!http://www.facebook.com/eistpodhttp://www.twitter.com/eistpodhttps://discord.gg/WVvCHVWqzfBuy us a Slusho on Patreon and Ko-Fi!http://www.patreon.com/eistpodhttps://ko-fi.com/E1E01M2UASubscribe to the show on iTunes!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprising-individuals/id1113165661?mt=2

In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films, and the eleventh film in the "Star Trek" film franchise: the 2009 film "Star Trek" directed by J.J. Abrams and written by Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman. A reboot of the main characters of the original "Star Trek" TV series, portrayed by a new cast, the story of the film takes place in a alternate reality which was created when a Romulan mining ship, commanded by Captain Nero (played by Eric Bana) and a ship piloted by Ambassador Spock (played by Leonard Nimoy) arrived in the past after falling into a black hole - essentially changing how events would precede because of their presence, including: the death of the newly born James T. Kirk's father, George Kirk (played by Chris Hemsworth) the first officer of the USS Kelvin. As a result of the destruction of the USS Kelvin - which George Kirk had attempted to use to stop Nero's vessel, the Nerada - certain events played out differently than they they had in the original timeline that had been shown in all the previous TV series and films, and as a result certain characters ultimately met one another at different times and in different circumstances than they would have been expected to previously. Over the course of the film, we see the rapid beginnings of a friendship forged between James T. Kirk (played by Chris Pine) and Spock (played by Zachary Quinto), and the coming together of the iconic crew of the USS Enterprise, including: Nyota Uhura (played by Zoe Saldana), Hikaru Sulu (played by John Cho), Montgomery Scott (played by Simon Pegg), Doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy (played by Karl Urban), and Pavel Chekov (played by Anton Yelchin), as they become a team and fight against the wrath of Nero who personally blames Spock and the Federation for the death of his family who were destroyed on Romulus as a result of the elder Spock being unable to save them from a supernova explosion. The soundtrack of the film was composed by Michael Giacchino. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/markthepoet/message

J.J. Abrams inszenierte, die Herren Orci und Kurtzman schrieben das Drehbuch. Chris Pine spielt Kirk, Zachary Quinto als Spock, Leonard Nimoy als Spock Prime, Eric Bana als Nero, Karl Urban als Bones, Zoe Saldana als Uhura, Simon Pegg als Scotty, John Cho als Sulu und Anton Yelchin als Chekov. Daneben dabei sind Bruce Greenwood als Pike, Ben Cross als Sarek, Winona Ryder als Amanda Grayson, Chris Hemsworth als George Kirk und Jennifer Morrison als Winona Kirk. Wir haben so unsere Probleme mit dem Film und besonders mit dem Film als Star-Trek-Film. Uns fehlt die ethisch-moralische Frage im Kern, die Figuren sind zu platt und aufgedreht und die Geschichte kaum der Rede wert. Dafür ist er gut besetzt, sieht nett aus und klingt auch gut. Aber das reicht schlussendlich nicht. Deshalb kreisen wir in der Diskussion vor allem um die vielen Probleme des Filmes.

This week on Episode 473 of Priority One --- We ‘Trek Out’ Star Trek’s cinema shuffling, Prodigy’s newest hire, and where our vagabond shoes WON’T be straying. In Star Trek gaming, our friends, the Women at Warp, share an invaluable resource for gamers, Timelines gets a Mega-Event, and Modiphius is raising a small fortune for Black Lives Matter. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we’ll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ:  Would you rather see a fourth Kelvin film, Noah Hawley’s Pandemic Pitch, or a 2021 version of “A Piece of the Action”? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Star Trek Movie Plans are Undecided Werner Herzog once said “I WOULD TRAVEL DOWN TO HELL AND WRESTLE A FILM AWAY FROM THE DEVIL IF IT WAS NECESSARY.”. We Star Trek fans may need to get in touch with Mr. Herzog - because the Star Trek film franchise is in a bit of limbo. On Friday August 7th, Deadline broke the story that Paramount’s newest film Captain - Emma Watts - was putting the Noah Hawley led Trek film on ice. According to the piece, Watts, who formerly ran many Franchises for Fox, was in the process of evaluating which Trek was most feasible for the studio moving forward. Hawley’s film was put on the back-burner in large part due to its plot. ”What we’re hearing is that [...] the Hawley pic  [...] calls for a new cast and might be about a deadly virus which might feel awkward given current circumstance”. The Hollywood Reporter’s sources confirm the rumor about the plot, adding “the virus wipes out vast parts of the known universe”. So what’s next? Is it all bad news? Not necessarily. According to Deadline, Hawley’s film moving back may mean another oft discussed Trek film could move forward. There are two options, and we’ve discussed them both ad-nauseum. The first is Star Trek by Quentin Tarantino, which we’ll get into in a minute. The other, and according to Deadline the most likely of the three films to get made, is the formerly-SJ Clarkson-helmed Star Trek Kelvin IV. The script brings back the Kelvin Enterprise and her crew, as well as Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk. It was dumped in favor of Hawley’s pitch due to the high price tag that went along with bringing back the Kelvin-crew, but according to Deadline it ”might have the cleanest path toward a relaunch, with an emphasis on boosting overseas gross numbers which have never been the franchise’s strong suit. These decisions will take place over the next few weeks.” So stay tuned for the next chapter of this ongoing saga! We Learn More About Star Trekantino Quentin Tarantino once said “THE GOOD IDEAS WILL SURVIVE.”. Let’s hope that’s true, because it feels like THIS idea has been around for a long time. THIS idea, of course, is the Tarantino helmed Star Trek film - Star Trekantino. This weeks Deadline piece shed some light on the on-again-off-again film, including it’s feasibility and - more interestingly - its plot. ”Tarantino dropped out as director, but the project is still viable based on an episode of the classic Star Trek series that takes place largely earthbound in a 30s gangster setting — might serve the franchise best as Logan-like spinoffs when the core franchise has been revitalized.”. So, tarantino wanted a “Piece of the Action”? Tarantino, as stated, dropped out as director, but still expressed excitement for the Michael L. Smith penned script. Tarantino told Deadline in January of this year ”I think they might make that movie, but I just don’t think I’m going to direct it. It’s a good idea. They should definitely do it and I’ll be happy to come in and give them some notes on the first rough cut.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2eRJozOZa0 Star Trek Prodigy Gets a Director/Co-Executive Producer Heading back to the small screen, Star Trek’s upcoming Nickelodeon offering - Star Trek: Prodigy - has a new creative lead - Ben Hibon. Hibon has been creating CG animation for video games, shorts, and movies since 2005; having most notably directed the animated “Tale of Three Brothers'' in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. Along with his Creative lead role, Hibon will direct and serve as a co-executive producer on the Hageman Brothers series. Ramsey Naito of Nickelodeon group said of the addition ”Ben’s contributions to the world of animation are immeasurable, and we are so lucky to have his vision and creative genius on Star Trek: Prodigy. As an incredible storyteller and a world builder with a distinct vision, his original approach paired with this beloved property will bring the characters to life in a whole new way,” Hibon also expressed his excitement, saying in a release ”Getting the chance to work on an IP like Star Trek has been an incredible opportunity, particularly when partnered with the talented teams at Nickelodeon, CBS and Secret Hideout – who have been pushing the boundaries of what animation and serialized storytelling for younger audiences can deliver,” For another look at Ben Hibon’s work, we suggest trekking out “Codehunters”. We’ll have a link in our show notes, but as a heads up Viewer discretion is advised. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmeP1YkaeTo NYCC ReedPop Statement Stop spreadin' the germs, I'm wearing a mask Don’t want to be a part of it New York, Comic Con Or not. If your vagabond shoes were longing to stray through the very heart of  the Javitt center this October - to celebrate ReedPop’s New York Comic Con 2020 - you’ll have to find another approach to melt away your little-town blues. New York Comic Con is cancelled - sort of. In a statement released on their website, ReedPop said in part ”NYCC doesn’t stop just because we can’t do what we’ve done in the past. Instead, we look to the future: We may not be meeting in the queue hall each morning, but we’re excited to join forces with our sister event, MCM Comic Con in London, to bring you New York Comic Con's Metaverse, our new online portal dedicated to delivering pop culture experiences, right into your homes NYCC weekend, October 8-11. We are partnering with YouTube to bring to life four days of incredible content from the biggest studios, publishers and creators in the business.” It probably comes as no surprise that the in-person event was cancelled - it would be more surprising, frankly, if they just pushed it back to - say - December. But it is disappointing. For a full list of guests, follow our link in the show notes Star Trek Gaming News by Shane Hoover and Thomas Reynolds Star Trek Timelines: “The Capitoline Wolf” Mega-Event Star Trek: The Next Generation began the franchise’s new era with a damning observation: for all it protests otherwise, humanity is a grievously savage race. Our first contact in Bozeman, Montana might not have happened if the Vulcans spent five minutes with an Earth history textbook. But given the chance, would you undo humanity’s achievements to annul its sins? And would you want the RomuLannisters involved? No really, would you? Star Trek Timelines’ upcoming Mega-Event, “The Capitoline Wolf,'' opens a strange new chapter in human/Romulan relations. During the Enterprise-themed event, players will see the history of an alternate Earth shaped by ancient Romulan influence–for good or for ill–and decide if humans should ever change. The event begins on August 13th with the “Cultural Property” Skirmish Event, with more details to follow. And look, we’re not saying it was aliens–Disruptor Beam is saying it was aliens. The Continuing Bundle Captains, there are approximately 7 days left to purchase Modiphius Entertainment’s Star Trek Adventures RPG Book Bundle and support the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. As of writing the Bundle has raised $201,005.54 from 12,600 purchases. Modiphius Takes The Long Road Whether you’ve been playing Modiphius Entertainment’s Star Trek Adventures from the start, or you’ve just been enlisted to Starfleet by that Humble Bundle, you might be excited by some other news this week.

Star Trek (2009) directed by J.J. Abrams was a game changer for Star Trek, which had lain dormant since the cancellation of Enterprise. This movie brought it back to our screens. It was an exciting time. The decision to do a "soft reboot" in canon using time travel and an alternate timeline was a clever concept and brought in a new generation of fans. But what does this movie have to do with the new Star Trek Picard, which will be set back in the original prime timeline? Plenty. The inciting incident of this movie takes place in the prime timeline, and this event will have a profound effect on the life of Jean-Luc Picard. Join us as we conclude our countdown of the 10 episodes and movies you should watch before Star Trek Picard. Next week, we look at the first episode of Picard!  ----more---- Welcome to Nerd Heaven. I’m Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of the stars. And I am a nerd. This is episode 10 of the podcast. Today we finish our look at the 10 episodes and movies that you should watch before Star Trek Picard. Today, we’re looking at JJ Abram’s Star Trek 2009 movie, because although it creates a whole new Star Trek timeline, it’s inciting incident takes place in the prime universe, and its impact will have a profound effect on Jean-Luc Picard’s life.   The IMDB description for this movie reads The brash James T. Kirk tries to live up to his father's legacy with Mr. Spock keeping him in check as a vengeful Romulan from the future creates black holes to destroy the Federation one planet at a time. This movie first appeared in cinemas on the 6th of April 2009   Punch it.   I was very excited about the impending release of this movie. Star Trek was back! Ever since the cancellation of Enterprise, Star Trek had been dead. The franchise was off the air. We didn’t know when or if we’d ever see it again.   Paramount decided to bring it back in the form of movies, and hired JJ Abrams to create the first one. Some fans were very cautious about this movie. Claims that this movie would be more open to wider audiences, suggested it would lack the heart and soul of Star Trek. I too was cautious, but optimistically so. I just wanted a good story. I wanted Star Trek back.   One of the first things you notice when this movie stars is the lens flare. A common trick to make CGI look more realistic is to add a little lens flare. To give the illusion that these computer-generated images were shot with a real camera. JJ wanted to go for a very realistic believable star Trek universe, so he added a lot of lens flare to his cgi. And so it didn’t look out of place, he also added a lot of lens flare to the live-action footage. Except, in my opinion, he went way overboard. They actually had people on set with torches, (sorry, flashlights, for you American listeners) shining light into the lens of the camera. It’s a bit distracting. But, it’s his style.   The next big thing you notice is that the viewscreen is a window. And communication messages appear as translucent overlays on that window. It could be argued that the bridge of the enterprise shouldn’t be right up the top of the saucer. It’s a vulnerable position. There’s no need for it. It’s not like they’re looking out a window. JJ Abrams and his team were trying to provide a justification for the position of the bridge, and so, they made the viewscreen an actual window. I wasn’t a fan of this approach and was disappointed when Star Trek Discovery followed suit.   But we get an epic space battle. Right up front, we realise this will be a much more action-packed star trek. And that was welcome. Star Trek movies had always fell a little flat on the action front. Even the borg battle in First Contact was over way too quickly.   I love the scene where someone gets blown out of the ship due to a hull breach and it suddenly goes silent, because, of course, there is no sound in the vacuum of space. Nice touch. Very atmospheric.   So this ship is the USS Kelvin. Named after JJ Abram’s father. It has been suggested, by some fans, that in-universe, this ship could be named after William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, after whom the kelvin unit of temperature is named. But to my knowledge, this isn’t canon.   The captain of the Kelvin is taken on board the Romulan ship. They ask what he knows of Ambassador Spock. I love that they call him Ambassador, linking back to the next generation.   There are some cool looking aliens on the Kelvin. Some nice creature effects on the bridge, and a midwife with funny eyes. It’s nice to see some more alien aliens on Star Trek. But the lack of any familiar races at all, kinda makes it feel a little more like Star Wars than Star Trek. It would have been nice to throw in an Andorian in the background somewhere.   We get some very emotional music during the birth scene. And there are little to no sound effects in this scene. We just hear hte music as Kirk’s mother gives birth, and the ships battle it out. This technique was sometimes used on Babylon 5, to amazing effect. I loved it there, and I love it here. Very effective. This whole sequence as George Kirk asks about his newborn son and says goodbye to his wife is fantastic.   I always give this movie a lot of credit for making me cry before the opening title even appears. Powerful stuff. I Love this teaser. Always have.   But one question. Where do the shuttles go? How do they escape the Narada? Do they have warp drive?   As as the title card comes up, we are treated to the new theme music. This film was scored by Michael Giacchino. He wrote quite different music, but it was great stuff.   I like the kid kirk driving sequence. I love how his communicator is a Nokia brand. Yes, this is product placement, but to me, these touches add elements of believability to the world. The boy he passes on the street is supposed to be his older brother George. There was a deleted scene where he was leaving home because of their abusive stepfather. That scene was cut. And yes, I like the rock music. Maybe it doesn’t fit star trek, but that’s ok. I also liked the Enterprise theme song and thought it gave the show a more contemporary feel, which was suitable since the show was set closer to present day. Maybe it’s less suitable in the 23rd century.   Spock is wrestling with his identity as both Vulcan and human. At first, his father suggests that although he is half-human he should live his life fully Vulcan. But later tells him he should choose his own path. Spock chooses the Vulcan way of life, and yet, he has concerns that his mother will consider this an insult against her. I like this.   Then the Vulcan leader insults his mother, referring to her as a disadvantage. The way Spock says “Live long and prosper” speaks volumes. It carries a very different message. Nice acting by Zachery Quinto.   Kirk flirting with Uhura seems…...weird. But I can understand it. He’s a young guy, she’s an attractive woman, and she’s not an officer under his command. Kirk isn’t even in Starfleet, just a very intelligent delinquent kid.   So we get Bruce Greenwood as Captain Pike. And he does a good job of  It.   Pike gives that weird line about the Federation being a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada. First of all, he’s confusing the Federation with Starfleet. The federation is a political coalition of planets. Starfleet is their “armada” if you want to call it that, although that word carries very military connotations. Starfleet both is and isn’t a military. It’s confusing, but yes, it’s focus is on peacekeeping and humanitarian missions, as well, of course, as exploration.   We see the Enterprise begin constructed on the ground in Iowa. Obviously something in this new timeline changed, causing it to be built here instead of at the San Francisco shipyards (which we assume are orbital)   This movie presents us with a very different Kirk. In the original timeline, Kirk wasn’t a brash delinquent. He was a nerd. Constantly carrying books around. This, of course, is explainable, given he grew up without a father (he had a step father but he was a real deadbeat.) And then we meet McCoy. I like how we finally get an explanation for Kirk’s nickname for him - Bones. Makes good sense. And it canonises that McCoy has been married but is now divorced.   The Romulans we see in this movie are not like any Romulans we’ve seen before. But these are not military officers. They’re labourers. And they’ve been through some really bad stuff, so again, I’m cool with all that.   It’s pretty cool that we get to see Kirk taking the Kobayashi maru test. Notice he’s eating an apple, just like he is when he tells the story of this day in Star Trek 2.   Spock hits pretty low when he references Kirk’s father during the hearing. And then we get the Paul McGillion cameo. At the time this movie was in production, Paul McGillion was playing Dr. Carson Becket on Stargate Atlantis, a character with a Scottish accent. A very popular character. And there was a fan movement to get him cast as Scotty in this movie. It would have been a nice choice. But JJ Abrams had worked with Simon Pegg on Mission Impossible and was determined to cast him as Scotty. He did, however, give McGillion a little role as the officer assigning people their posts as the cadets are called into active duty because of an emergency at Vulcan.   So we learn that Spock and Uhura have a relationship. This was a very odd choice, which somehow kind of works. And we finally get our first proper full look at the enterprise. And she looks pretty good. Pretty close to the original version, and again, because this is a changed timeline, I’m willing to accept the differences. It’s a pretty decent modern re-imagining of the original. I can’t say the brewery engineering room quite works for me, but hey, they tried something.   I don’t have an issue with Checkov being on the bridge, even though we never saw him in TOS until season 2. First of all, yes, that alternate timeline defence, and second, Checkov could have been on the ship during season 1, we just never saw him on screen.  In fact, we know that he must have been because Khan recognises him in Star Trek 2, canonising this theory.   I Love how Kirk is still flirting with every woman that passes him, even though he’s really sick. He reminds me of Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor Who.   So Vulcan is being attacked by a Romulan ship. The ship we first saw in the teaser. Nero’s ship. The Nerada This ship looks really cool. It’s mean and it’s powerful. But it’s supposed to be a mining ship. It makes no sense that it would be this powerful. The non-canon countdown comic tries to explain this. I don’t quite buy into it.   The characters know a little too much about Romulans for the time when this movie is set. Remember, they don’t yet know that Romulans are related to the Vulcans. But they were probably pushed into closer investigation into them after the Kelvin incident.   We get some Awesome visuals as the Enterprise drops out of warp in the middle of a debris field from the attack. It was very nice to see Star Trek with modern big-budget effects. This was a big step forward from Nemesis, the last time we’d seen Trek on the big screen.   So Nero demands pike come aboard, leaving Spock in command, and cadet Kirk is promoted to first officer. Quite unlikely, but I guess Pike sees something in Kirk.   So this movie kills a redshirt in true Star Trek tradition. Of course, he’s not wearing a red shirt because they’re in spacesuits. And he’s an aussie. But given his accent, I doubt the actor is Aussie. It’s a shame that one of the very few Australians to appear in Star Trek is such an idiot.   The battle on the drill is pretty thrilling. And I do like Sulu’s fold-out sword. Say what you will about this movie, it’s an effective action film.   They beam Kirk and Sulu from their freefall. They crash onto the platform. But if they maintained the same velocity, shouldn’t that impact have killed them. The new transporter effect is kinda cool. The way it swirls around each individual part of the body.   So Vulcan is being destroyed by creating a black hole at the centre of the planet. So they beam up the Vulcan leadership and Spock’s family, but Spock’s mother, Amanda. Doesn’t make it. This shows without a shadow of a doubt that we’re in a new timeline. There are new rules. We can’t assume anyone will survive. And they actually destroyed Vulcan. That was bold.   I was torn about this. I didn’t want Vulcan to go, but we’d all been criticising star trek for using the almighty reset button. Finally, they were willing to make a major change in the Star Trek universe, and not backpedal it.   The scene with Uhura and Spock in the turbolift is WEIRD. She goes in to comfort him. And ends up kissing him. She asks him what he needs. She seems almost disappointed when he doesn’t ask for anything romantic. Really really weird scene.   So Nero explains he is from the future, and that in his future, Romulus was destroyed. The federation did nothing. Spock failed to save their world. I like the callback to the creatures Khan used to control people in Star Trek 2. They look ever so slightly different, but I’ve always taken them to be the same creature.   While Spock is right, he has very flimsy evidence to drive him to assume Nero is from the future.   Spock makes it clear that Nero has caused a new timeline. An alternate reality.   Spock’s choice to throw Kirk off the ship onto a planet where he’d likely die is extremely harsh and illogical. All he had to do was put him in the brig.   So this planet is supposed to be delta vega But it’s way too close to Vulcan. Now I’ll accept that planets don’t have uniform climate across the whole world. Earth certainly doesn’t. So I can accept that the desert planet we saw in “Where no man has gone before” could have frozen polar caps, and that’s where Kirk is. But Delta Vega is near the rim of the universe. Nowhere near Vulcan.   I read that the writers of the movie thought fans would appreciate the callback. But this shows a lack of understanding of fans. No callback is preferable to a callback that blatantly breaks canon like this. They could have called this planet anything.   The alien animals we see on the planet are AWESOME. Star Trek has needed a few good space monsters for a long time, so their inclusion was very welcome in my opinion.   And surprise surprise! We see old Spock. Played by Leonard Nimoy! This is what really made this movie. Nimoy provided a link to the past. To old Star Trek. This is the original Spock. Last seen on screen as Ambassador Spock in Star Trek The Next Generation.   So a star went supernova in the 24th century. Spock promised the Romulans he would help them save their planet. But he failed. The supernova destroyed Romulus. Spock and Nero were both pulled into the black hole and ended up in the 23rd century. This event happened in the prime timeline. The original timeline. And this is the event that will be important when it comes to Star Trek Picard.   We get a nice little Spock/bones scene. These movies never quite reach the same levels of portraying the relationship between Kirk, Spock and bones as the original series, but little scenes like this give an inkling. There was another good scene with Bones and Spock in Star Trek Beyond.   Then we meet Scotty. Simon Pegg does a pretty good job in the role. He’s mostly used for comic relief in this film. I’m not a huge fan of purely comic relief characters, but I was very amused by his line when he asks Spock if they have sandwiches in the future. Scotty mentioned beaming admiral archer’s prize beagle to another planet. This, obviously, can’t be Porthos. I can accept that maybe Archer is still alive as a very old man, but Porthos? No way. So clearly Archer’s love of beagles continues through his life.   And this is where we encounter the problem of transwarp beaming. The ability to beam long distances from one planet to another. This is a big issue in the JJ Abrams movies. It was a convenient plot device to get Kirk and Scotty back onto the Enterprise in this episode. But it’s used very badly in the next movie, Star Trek Into Darkness. I’m afraid I’m not a fan of transwarp beaming. Not at all. It makes starship virtually obsolete.   Spock knows the potential that kirk and young Spock have to do great things together. He wants kirk to take over the Enterprise. Spock assures Kirk that he just saw his planet destroyed. He is emotionally compromised. Both of him.   Why does the Enterprise have water tubes running around that go into a big spinner choppy thing? Feels a bit too much like Galaxy Quest.   Spock’s emotional outburst is understandable, given what he’s just been through. It’s a good thing Sulu was there to hear Pike promote Kirk to first officer. Otherwise, I doubt anyone would accept him as the new acting Captain.   So now we have a cadet in command of the ship. Giving orders to crew who all outrank him, who have more experience and seniority than him. It’s a little absurd.   Then we have a nice emotional scene between Sarak and Spock. Ben Cross probably plays a more believable Sarak here than James Frain does in discovery.   So Nero is now planning to destroy Earth the same way he destroyed Vulcan. This movie is the first time we really see normal Starfleet hand phasers firing bolts instead of beams. Discovery continued this trend. Now, when The Defiant first appeared in DS9, firing bolts out of its cluster phasers, I loved it. It was so much meaner and tougher than normal phasers. But now that everything is bursts, I miss the beams, because they feel more star-trek-ey.   So they find Ambassador Spock’s ship from the future. The computer voice is played, for one last time, by Majel Barret. Although, to be honest, it really doesn’t sound like her to me. But anyway.   For once, it actually makes sense why there are no ships protecting earth. They all went to Vulcan and were destroyed by the Narada, leaving Earth defenceless.   So they save Earth, and a black hole forms around the Nerada.   Kirk tries to do the Starfleet thing, offering compassion to one’s enemy. Even Spock wants him to blow Nero away. When Nero refuses Kirk’s help, they gladly pummel it with phasers, destroying the ship. Except now the Enterprise is stuck in the gravitational pull of the black hole. Nice that Scotty threw in his life “I’m giving it all she’s got, captain” The solution, of course, is to eject the warp core. Which looks nothing like a warp core. In fact, it’s a whole lot of separate…..things.   This doesn’t make a lot of sense. The enterprise is now without its warp core. It should have virtually no power,  But now it can power out of the black hole.   Apparently the destruction of the core did something technobabble-ish to disrupt the gravity or something.   We get a nice little scene where Spock and Spock meet.   Old Spock wanted Kirk and young Spock to find the friendship he knew that could have. A friendship that would define them both.   Spock tells his younger counterpart to forget logic and do what feels right. This is kind of the culmination of his character journey, his increasing embracing of his human side was seen in both star trek 6 and tng unification. It’s a nice book-end to this character.   So, Kirk, the cadet who has not yet even graduated the academy, who hasn’t even made ensign yet, is named captain and given command of the Enterprise. This is completely illogical and ridiculous. It’s the thing that bugs me about this movie the most. But anyway.   So now the crew of the enterprise are all together, on the ship, as they should be, with Kirk in the captain’s chair and Spock at his side. The glimmers of a potential friendship kindled between them.   We’re going to leave the Kelvin universe here and return to the prime timeline, because the event of this movie that really matters, is the destruction of Romulus by the singularity.   This event had a huge impact on the prime timeline, and on Captain Picard in particular. The countdown to Picard comic book gives us some details on this. At the time of recording, I’ve read the first instalment.   Well, that was star trek 2009 I still enjoy this movie. It’s a very different kind of star trek, but it showed us a modern, high energy take on the franchise.   Next week, can you believe it? I’m very excited to announce that will be talking about the first episode of Star Trek Picard. We’re almost there, people And that’s very exciting.   See you next week on Nerd Heaven.   Until then, live long and prosper. I’m Adam David Collings

Alternatív univerzumot hoz létre a Spock nagykövetet üldöző Nero, akinek a jövőből érkező romulán bányászhajóját maga George Kirk próbálja feltartóztatni a USS Kelvin kapitányi székében: mivel a csillaghajó az ütközet során megsemmisül, James Kirk az édesapja nélkül nő fel, így példás iskolai előmenetel helyett húzós balhékban és kocsmai verekedésekben éli mindennapjait. Egy napon azonban Pike kapitány figyel fel az éppen bunyózó tehetségre, aki hatalmas lehetőséget lát a fiú csillagflottás iskoláztatásában. Aktuális adásunkban a Star Trek (2009) című mozifilmről beszélgetünk. Rövid hírszekció: • 2020 januárjában végre megtekinthetjük a Picard első évadát, az év hátralévő részében pedig a Discovery harmadik évada, és a Lower Decks első évada is megérkezik. Ezek mellett 25 éves lesz a Voyager, és talán a mozis univerzum is újra pályára állhat. • Mínusz 43 éves a kapcsolatfelvétel napja, amit áprilisban ismét a Vault 51 Gamer Barban ünneplünk. • Továbbra is a Lost in Space második szezonját nézzük: javuló tendencia a történetmesélésben és a karakterfejlődésben, valamint vélemények a magyar szinkronról. A kibeszélő tartalmából: • A pontosság kedvéért Roberto Orci és Alex Kurtzman sokszor használták a Memory Alphát a film írása közben, pár dolgot viszont szándékosan változtattak meg: a Delta Vega helyét például áthelyezték az eredeti sorozat ’Where No Man Has Gone Before’ epizódjához képest. Orci szerint egy ismerős helyszín elhangzása fontosabb lesz a rajongók számára, mint a pontos elhelyezkedés. • Váratlan vendégszereplők a filmben: Paul McGillion a Csillagkapu: Atlantisz Beckett dokija San Franciscoban közli Kirk számára, hogy a Kobayashi Maru incidens miatt felfüggesztették (bár eredetileg a színész Scotty szerepére pályázott), Wil Wheaton pedig egy romulánnak adja a hangját. • A film előzményeként az akkor 10 éves IDW képregénykiadó - amely már akkoriban is birtokolta a Star Trek licenszet - több, a mozifilmhez kapcsolódó kiadványt is megjelentetett, majd a sort további, a Kelvin-univerzumhoz kapcsolódó képregénnyel folytatta: ízelítő a hatalmasra hízott képregényvilágból, valamint kapcsolatok a Kelvin-univerzum és a közelgő Picard sorozat között. • J.J. Abrams vitatott nyilatkozatait, valamint a film vegyes megítélését is átbeszéljük: mennyire fontos az eredeti idővonalhoz képest keletkező következetlenségek számon tartása, és mennyire időtálló a produkció?

Bienvenidos a una nueva (e)misión del programa #trekkie hecho desde Argentina para todos los rincones de la galaxia. En esta oportunidad empezamos ¡contando una gran noticia! ¡EVOLUCIONAMOS! A partir de la semana que viene empezamos a salir en vivo por www.mixtaperadio.com.ar en el mismo horario de siempre (o sea lunes a las 21hs, hora de Buenos Aires). Después charlamos sobre un nuevo #ViajeALasEncuestas donde le preguntamos a nuestros oyentes "¿Cuál es el mejor personaje secundario, hermano de uno de los protagonistas?". Las opciones que dimos fueron George Kirk, Sybok, Lore, Robert Picard, Kurn, Rom, Paul Mayweather y Siranna. Obviamente nuestros puristas oyentes nos marcaron los que faltaban bajo el hashtag #ElTargDeWorf y nos nombraron a Ishara Yar, Thomas Riker (muy debatible), B4, los hermanos holográficos del Doctor de #Voyager (igual de debatible que Thomas) y Nikolai Rozhenko. Todos estos últimos tuvieron más votos que Paul Mayweather, porque a ese no lo votó nadie... Luego vuelve una sección que nos gusta mucho que es en la que hablamos de los actores que interpretan a nuestros personajes favoritos, "Sin Tirpulación No Hay Viaje", en la que hablamos un poco de la vida y carrera de Max Grodénchik, quien interpreta a nuestro amado ferengi Rom. En nuestra sección "El Capítulo de la Semana" seguimos con la temática #ChauChauAdiós donde analizamos capítulos donde protagonistas se despiden (o los despiden) de las series. En este programa hablamos de "The Gift", el 2do episodio de la 4ta temporada de #StarTrekVoyager donde deja la serie Jennifer Lien quien interpreta a Kes. Después, y de manera muy rápida, hablamos del #BirthOfTheFederation, en nuestra sección "Juego a las Estrellas". Contamos su historia, el por qué está basado en #StarTrekTNG a pesar de que cuenta los principios de la Federación y repasamos su gran jugabilidad (al día de hoy) a pesar de ser un juego del año 1999. Cerramos esta sección comentando la base de fans que todavía tiene el juego y los proyectos que ellos tienen para publicar una continuación. Y por último cerramos con nuestra sección "Esta Semana En Star Trek" donde comentamos nacimientos, muertes, estrenos y demás fechas importantes de este hermoso universo que tanto amamos. ------------------------------------------------- Buscanos en nuestras redes: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/remerasrojas Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/remerasrojas Instragram: @remerasrojas ivoox: https://remerasrojas.ivoox.com Youtube: RemerasRojas -------------------------------------------------

The Adventures of the U.S.S. KelvinWe know so little about the U.S.S. Kelvin but it's impacted the Kelvin-Verse immensely. Hell, it's the reason it exists in the first place. But what about Kelvin Prime? How did this ship continue on in the Prime Universe? We know George Kirk lived to see James T. Kirk become the captain of the Enterprise but not much more than that. In this episode, we explore how this ship could have been built, how George and Winona met, and why Captain Robau is a badass.

Standard Orbit 233: Another Speaker At A Star Trek Convention No Kirks and a New Spock. This week hosts Ken Tripp, Zach Moore and Hayley Stoddart talk no Kirks in Star Trek 4 and a new Spock in Discovery. What would the next Kelvin Timeline film look like without Chris Pine? Should Captain Kirk be recast again, or just written out entirely? Same goes for his on screen dad Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk, who was teased as appearing in Star Trek 4 all the way back in 2016. Speaking of recasting we have a new Spock coming to Discovery in the person of Ethan Peck, grandson of Hollywood legend Gregory Peck. How do we feel about a second "young Spock" existing concurrently with Zachary Quinto's? We also revisit the conversation about whether or not we'd have preferred to see Kelvin Timeline actors on Discovery, or for that matter any TOS characters at all.

This week on the Shuttle Pod, your podcast crew discuss the exciting news that came out last week. In the same week we got a quick look at the start of production on Star Trek: Discovery season two, and then official confirmation that Paramount was planning not just one, but two, feature films. Brian, Jared, and Matt discuss. We were excited to get a glimpse at the USS Enterprise crew uniforms on Discovery, and that both the fourth Kelvin movie, with Chris Hemsworth returning as George Kirk, and the separate Tarantino project will be allowed to move forward. Lastly, the crew indulges Matt in a little soapbox speech about placing The Original Series in its proper context to help reframe the current pop culture idea that TOS was “cheap.”

Join us as we discuss the fate of the next movie in the Kelvin timeline in our latest Supplemental episode. Will Chris Hemsworth’s George Kirk beam back into the series from beyond the grave? Will Quentin Tarantino rein in his use of the N-word for the opportunity to direct a Trek movie? Will Karl Urban get his wish of exploring the McCoy family and could that mean a return of their famous Tennessee smoked baked beans to the franchise? Will JJ ever fulfil his commitment to Paramount? Will there ever even be another Star Trek movie?! No answers but a ton of rambling speculation about these questions and more await you.
