I was so pissed off when they trashed the ship in "Generations"- I had pretty much the whole "Technical Manual" memorized by that point. - inactive, on 11/12/2008, -0/+54nerdgasm

By far the most decorated Captain in Starfleet History. Defeated the first Romulan Bird of Prey. Defeated the Doomsday Machine. Won a battle against an 11,000 mile long living cell. Saved an entire task force from the M-5 computer. Defeated V'ger. Khan. The Whale Probe. Some alien that was impersonating God. A Klingon Coup.
Died falling down the stairs. His last words: "oh my." This is why people don't watch Star Trek any more. - fleischner, on 11/12/2008, -0/+36Check this out -- the real evolution of the original Enterprise:

- pitdog, on 11/12/2008, -0/+21I just love Star Trek (especially TOS and TNG, and some of the feature movies).
Am I a nerd?
digg - AmyVernon, on 11/12/2008, -0/+21That wasn't Scott's fault. The writers kept changing what the series was about. And the theme song sucked beyond all belief. Scott could only work with what they gave him. And it wasn't much.

Spock's death is one of the most memorable scenes in my lifetime. Probably the best acting of Shatners career was him giving Spock's eulogy. Thats how you send off a legend. - happywaffle, on 11/12/2008, -0/+14Man, I still have that on my bookshelf. What an excellent bible of technobabble. Hell, I'm gonna go peruse it when I get home.
- JackCrow, on 11/12/2008, -1/+15I look at the old designs and think of fond (for the most part) Star Trek memories. I look at the new design and think of Galaxy Quest.

- Denominator88, on 11/13/2008, -0/+14I still think they should have went with this awesome design:

- spritom, on 11/12/2008, -0/+11Geeknote: The captain/crew from 1701-C (Yesterday's Enterprise) rocked!
- Br3ach, on 11/12/2008, -2/+13Still think the 1701 A is my favorite, it is just a damn good looking ship. I am somewhat glad the new Star Trek enterprise carries some of it's lines.
- WoundedCow, on 11/13/2008, -1/+12For all you Trek fan pretenders, let me tell you from an old man's P.O.V. In 1966, that fateful September night on NBC, when dad was finishing his seventh Lucky Strike and third Pabst since coming home from working on the farm, we turned on the 17" Zenith black and white, adjusted the foil covered rabbit ears, and there was Capt. James T. and his crew of mostly Americans and one pointy-eared alien gracing our living room. I was awed by what Gene Roddenberry had come up with and almost cried when dear old dad slapped me in the head and told me to get up turn the damn channel. In the few minutes I was able to watch a real sci-fi show, I saw something that would change my life.
Phillip J. Fry has nothing on me. I live and breath Star Trek, writing it on fanfiction.net, I have a K-tinga class warship hanging from my bedroom ceiling (which both my ex-wives hated), I have most of the books, everything from James Blish through David Mack, I have a real metal comm badge Majel Barrett Roddenberry sent me in 1986, I have calendars, comic books, action figures and before the house fire I suffered 10 years ago, every model Star Trek ship, station and many I modified to be new, were in a diorama in the basement. I had stickers and prosthetic ears, communicators and tricorders, view finder slides, mugs, and was at the Houston, Grand Rapids and San Diego conventions. (No more conventions...too damn many geeks)
During my first marriage, TNG debuted, and my son was born in time for the second season. By the time DS9 (my fave) was ending and Voyager came into its own, I'd finished wife one and was on wife two, and my son was in love with Seven of Nine so much he created a Star Trek board game. What a good boy he is.
Now working on wife-to-be #3, a Star Trek fan from TNG, I look at the person I was when I saw the ships. NCC 1701 was everything to a six year old who saw it orbit a planet for less than 10 seconds and only saw the show in its entirety when he was 11. Seeing NCC 1701-A in the theater on a military base in West Germany was a thrill that few other soldiers understood or even gave a rip about.
Model D came and awed us fans and we all wept a little when Garret died at her post on C. E was a warship spawned in war, and J was the penultimate evolution we got a glimpse at through the eyes of NX-01 and Archer.
Each ship has its own special place in my history and each one has many memories attached. Which one is the best? Which is the coolest? You'd have to ask each memory I carry for every one of them. Because of Star Trek I became a writer and author (two books) and a computer expert and IT/IS manager and carry my little gift from Majel to poker games as a card protector.
That's a real Star Trek fan. - inactive, on 11/13/2008, -9/+19Captain John Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise.....

- inactive, on 11/12/2008, -5/+14That looks retarded. It doesn't look like something that PREDATES the original Enterprise. And it doesn't look good in it's own right because it's a mediocre imitation of the original. The stuff I've seen of the Kelvin looks fine to me, it looks derivative of the TOS federation ships while having cool artistic touches like the turret phasers and such.
This, however, looks like it was designed by committee. They made no attempt to match it up with the CHRONOLOGY of the previous designs, instead putting pictures of all 3 of the regular Enterprises and picking and choosing features they liked. This would be a good design if it took place around the same time as STIV-VI but not Pre-TOS. If anything it looks retro in the worst way, like a 50s design with those overly Cadillac nacelles.
It's not a deal breaker. I'm not going to freak out and not go see the movie because of it or anything like that, I'm just not feeling that design right now. - saikyan, on 11/12/2008, -1/+101701-E would totally kick D's ass!
- shame126, on 11/12/2008, -0/+8Nice :)
- inactive, on 11/12/2008, -2/+10Is everyone else as scared as I am of the JJ movie?
- IronGoldfish, on 11/13/2008, -0/+8I think you might be my hero.
- ryancawdor, on 11/13/2008, -0/+8"...bible of technobabble."
I've always enjoyed calling it "Treknology". :) - Scira, on 11/13/2008, -0/+8M-M-M-M-M-M-Make it so, Make it so.
- inactive, on 11/13/2008, -0/+7Basically they turned Kirk into William Shatner.
- d2002, on 11/12/2008, -0/+7No faucet? :D
- CrimsonBlur, on 11/12/2008, -1/+8How can the Star Trek diehards complain about this design? I don't get it. It looks almost exactly like the TOS Enterprise. It just has some more modern, cleaner lines and they made it a bit less bulky.
Honestly they could have done a lot more with it, but surprisingly they wanted to stay very faithful to the original design, so I can't figure out why Fanoys aren't pissing their pants over this.
By the way I am a huge Star Trek fan. - geekchic, on 11/12/2008, -1/+7And I was sure it had been intelligently designed.
- netneutrality, on 11/12/2008, -1/+7NCC-1701-B has always been my favorite. It's by far the best looking. (NCC-1701-A is the second-best)
- FallenTurtles, on 11/12/2008, -1/+7I agree. The ships in Star Trek II look far more realistic than any of the CGI models.
- EriktheBard, on 11/12/2008, -0/+6Wow, that short movie of the evolution of the ORIGINAL Enterprise design was sweet. What a blast from the past. The signature was Jeffries, the famous "Jeffries Tubes" were named after him I believe.
(Quickly checks to see his old Wrath of Khan uniform is still in the closet) - falstaff, on 11/13/2008, -1/+6http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thum ...
- dungbeetle, on 11/12/2008, -1/+6The new 1701 seems a little awkward. The saucer section and neck really shouldn't be that far back on the hull.
- Br3ach, on 11/12/2008, -0/+5I am sure it would have exploded for no reason at some point in the movie too, followed by that tight camera pan thing that is in all of his movies for some reason.
- dasamps, on 11/13/2008, -0/+5Thank God someone said this.
- reddevild, on 11/12/2008, -0/+5Scott also got his ass kicked in almost every fight, and why aren't they before the Original Series? i know the show aired over 30 years later, but it took place 50 years prior to TOS (if memory serves me correctly).
@AmyVernon
didn't they also change the theme song? i forget if it was after the first or second season (but i havent watched it in a very long time). All i remember is the original theme song was better. But also agreed, he could only work with what he had, but at least we were given Jolene Blalock :P - gametavern, on 11/12/2008, -1/+6Abrams model looks most like a...model to me. Very cool though, less CGI the better.
- damonic, on 11/12/2008, -0/+5That was my first thought. That is by far my favourite Enterprise...
- blankman, on 11/13/2008, -1/+6and how about how the Enterprise, even without its shields, could have demolished that bird of prey in one torpedo volley. Or how they could have just remodulated their shields, which is supposed to be standard procedure when something is tearing through your shields.
The movies pretty much ruin everything. - gquaglia, on 11/12/2008, -1/+6The premise of that whole movie sucked ass. If they could have left the Nexus at any time, why just minutes before the rocket was going to be launched. The turned Kirk from total badass to total, bloated pussy.
