Star Trek - forgot how good it was!

Just been watching some old (very old) DVDs of Startrek and a the first full length film. Had forgotten what an egocentric plank Shatner was!

Give over, you fancy him something rotten. Go on, admit it. :smiley:

Yep, definitely a raging ego. :smiley: The first film was so bad, too. Slow as hell and boring as well.

I’d rather have you, Judd!:smiley:

Very true ! All that creaking scenery as well - worse than ā€˜Crossroads’ and that is saying something!:smiley:

Naturally. :lol:

Wasn’t there usually a scene when Kirk appeared to become stressed, overworked and sweaty?
A hazard of the job I suppose. :wink:
Gabrielle Drake as Lt Ellis (UFO) wouldn’t even have raised an eyebrow.:cool:

Where I last worked we used to class some jobs as red shirt jobs, in reference to the guys who beamed down to a planet, and it was a one way trip…

If you’ve not seen ā€œGalaxy Questā€ yet, I’d recommend it as a parody of Star Trek, and as a comedy film in its own right.

Joe Leydon of Variety said that Galaxy Quest ā€œremains light and bright as it races along, and never turns nasty or mean-spirited as it satirizes the cliches and cults of Star Trekā€.

I go along with Joe … :smiley:

Have seen that one, Omah, and laughed all the way through! Love Alan Rickman!

I’m more of a Sigourney Weaver admirer … :007:

Ah, yes. Sigourney Weaver. Smokin’ hot.

There will only ever be one captain of the Starship Enterprise…William Shatner as Captain Kirk…:038:
All the rest are just imposters…:009:

He was but I still see him as the real captain Kirk. :wink:

Wot I just said Foxy, you beat me to it.

Great brains Longdogs…:-D:-D:-D

I saw that years ago and often wonder why they never did a sequel. :frowning:

Alan Rickman to Tim Allen: ā€œI see you’ve managed to get your shirt off againā€ :smiley:

While some may prefer Captain Kirk, I much prefer Captain Jon-Luc Picard.

William Shatner, as Kirk, was shallow and endlessly over-acting.
Patrick Stewart, as Picard, displays a wider range of personality and is a much better actor.

Hi

Sorry to spoil things.

Uniforms were changed due to flagging viewing figures.

Councillor Troi.

Much more cleavage to attract adolescent boys.

It worked.

Galaxy Quest…what a film one of my all time favourites

By Grabthars Hammer and the Sons of Warven you shall be avenged…got to be one of the best lines ever.

Never give up never surrender :slight_smile:
