I've heard that Picard is looking on some photos when he was a cadet and that the was bald on this photos. Can anyone confirm this?
BTW: Was it ARIES or misspelled AIRES?

I didn't notice USS Archer - though that could be named for anybody. I wlll certainly try to get all of the names in repeat viewings! lol
Neither my brother nor I saw *any* NX-01 models. There were six arranged on the wall, on each side of the conf, lounge, IIRC, and there was a crystal Ent-E in his ready room - this is all from memory, but I didn't see any NX class. *shudder*
Picard, unfortunately (to avoid confusing newbies) had absolutely no hair in his academy photo. We saw him with a mop in "Tapestry" when he got stabbed, and he still had a comb-over in the flashback w/ Beverly at Jack Crusher's death. Of course, we could just assume he had a very close academy shave and grew it out again for his graduation...
I think it was spelled correctly, Aries. But, then, this is again from memory. =)

yes in fact there is such a picture, and strangly enough Baird decided to spend a little of showtime so that we can get a look at it, and big surprise it is just a dressed up shinzon (Tom Hardy)

No need for that: USS Intrepid USS Valiant USS Galaxy USS Aries USS Nova USS Hood USS Archer
But you could try to get the registries of the Intrepid, Valiant, Nova, and Archer.

Good to hear that. Not that I don't like Enterprise but the E-E display was the only one that made sense because it was limited to Federation Starfleet vessels.

*censored* Did he wear a uniform on that picture? If yes, what did it look like.
And I've heard that the musicians at the reception wore all-gray dress uniforms.

Well, guys, I'm not that far away either. I live in Moncton!

To answers some questions: 1. We do see a picture of Picard as a cadet. It is actually of Tom Hardy and his bald head. He is wearing the TOS-movie style cadet uniform. 2. USS Aries is still there on the shiplist and is still misspelled. 3. USS Archer is on the shiplist and most likely is named after Jonathan Archer. 4. I don't recall seeing a model of the NX-01, but given they added Archer to the shiplist, it's very possible they also added a model to the display. 5. As I recall, the musicians did wear dress uniforms, but pretty much all the Starfleet people there did as well.

Part of the wine was due to, like, 3 people online bragging how they saw the movie whilst I slaved away at Wal-Mart for 10+ hours, running only on my one 15 minute break.
My computer is an old P.O.S. and is quite finicky when it comes to downloads. Can't wait to fire it in the new year...along with Wal-Mart. hehe.

Well, I've been thinking about the film for awhile, and it seems to me that it barely qualifies as a Star Trek film at all. Again, it's good, and well worth watching. But the plot is simply disconnected from the universe. Even the much maligned Insurrection had a plot that spun out from events in DS9. (The Federation is in trouble!)
Here we get Romulans, but they could have been anyone, there's no internal Trek reasons for them to be acting the way they do, it doesn't flow from where they were at the end of the Dominion War, which gets namechecked in the film, but not in any meaningful way.
I suspect shortchanging the political aspects was a conscious choice designed to make the film more appealing to the general public, and it may work. But I suppose I was hoping for something that felt a bit more like Star Trek VI, a highly political film and thus one of my personal favorites.
(One could also make the more minor argument that most of the inspirational moments of the film were done before. Romulans swooping in to fight along side Starfleet? Been there. Romulans coming over to provide medical and other assistance? "Timescape." And yet I was totally swept up in each, so, as I said, this is just nitpicking.)

A correction I have to make regarding what i had said earlier:
Picard (in the picture, being played by Tom Hardy) doesn't not wear the cadet's uniform. I had earlier confused the officer's unifrom that Saavik and young Picard from "Tapestry" wore with the noncomm's uniform. The uniform that Tom Hardy was wear as Picard was unfortunately the noncomm's uniform. I don't recall what the rank or class designation pin was, if any. But suffice to say, the pic is all wrong.

Regent Empire - that's the one in the Regent Mall, correct? No, I don't live in Rusagonish. I'm about 20 mins from SJ, maybe farther from you. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to Hoyt. I live in Nerepis, which is a little place outside of Saint John.
