Re: OT: Now for something a bit different...

Trailer - Directed by Tim Russ - Starring some very familiar faces.
It doesn't appear to be a joke. Besides, what the hell, its about time we started to see some fan produced / well acted / low budge / made for web videos of star trek stories.
I thought it was an interesting concept. I look forward to seeing more.

Re: OT: Now for something a bit different...
This looks good.  It seems to be real and there's a wikipedia entry:

Re: OT: Now for something a bit different...
I got the impression that the trailor is is a political statement by actors, directors, and creators that want to try to influence others.

Re: OT: Now for something a bit different...
They mentioned terrorists in one passing line, so clearly the whole thing is just a huge political statement about Iraq. Certainly not an actual attempt at a "fan" movie.

Ahem... I find it difficult to think of it as a "fan" movie when it has a bunch of real actors in it (that were in ST no less!). Heh.

Re: OT: Now for something a bit different...
It looked like that was all part of the mirror universe. I always thought that would make a great series.

Re: OT: Now for something a bit different...
I've been a big fan of the mirror universe.
As for the political commentary... it's possible.
Part of Star Trek's initial goal was to make social commentary, but it was very often indirect so I doubt it's blatantly targeted at our current situation.

I watched this trailer over and over, just to be certain BEFORE I replied, but I have to say that is a bit of an extreme statement. Personally, I got a completely different "feel" from it, much more in keeping with the established "Mirror Universe", as it were. |
