[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Vanguard: [qb] It's not really jealousy.. more of a concern that "Trek as I know it" (and by that, the original story-telling style, by and large) is "dead" and being "replaced" by something far more shallow and superficial. Like I said, if they we're really going out of their way to 'kill' TOS, it wouldn't really be an issue, and I could take the new movie much more on its own merits. [/qb][/QUOTE]Sorry, but if you want something that emulates the style of 1960s episodic TV drama, then you're just going to always be disappointed. And you haven't seen the film and don't intend to, so how will you know what sort of storytelling style they employ? Ignore how they sell it in the trailers, for one thing. I think the general consensus here (and elsewhere) would be that DS9 represents one certain pinnacle when it comes to intelligent storytelling, but you can be damn certain that when the "Next Time on DS9" bit popped up on screen at the end of an episode, they'd include the bit where the Defiant blows shit up rather than a well-crafted dialogue between Sisko and Gul Dukat! And as for your second point, that's just crazy talk. All or nothing, is that it? They either "do" TOS exactly how you should feel it should be done, or not even try but set out to dump on it from a great height?! You didn't use to post as EdipisReks, with [URL=http://flare.solareclipse.net/ultimatebb.php/topic/8/955.html#000000]some rather inflexible views on the Lord of the Rings movies[/URL], did you? The Original Series will live forever. It'll probably be remembered long after a 2009 film remake is largely forgotten. Three words for you: Lost In Space. It'll be online, in syndication and on tape/disc/crystal lattice/whatever. The charm, the often-quaint attitudes and dramatic devices, the groovy outfits, the funky sets, they will always be there. You're not going to get any more iof it, but that's part of the attraction. You want something that goes on forever and never changes, watch The Bold And The Beautiful. Or you can learn to stop worrying, and love the (probably not a box office) bomb. Join us, Vannie. 8) [/QB][/QUOTE]
