Those episodes had awesome space battle scenes. Since DS9 tends to get ignored, I'm wondering if you missed out. Yeah, it looks like the new movie will have the most action of any Star Trek movie. I'm guessing you loved First Contact. Mike, not sure if you’ll be reading this, but I was wondering if you enjoyed the later seasons of Deep Space Nine when the Dominion War was in progress.

Interesting about what you've noticed in Denmark. Thx for sharing. Yeah, I really should proof-read more. Andrew, those videos are quite creative. I imagine Henrik would get a big kick out of them. Not quite my cup of (Earl Grey) tea. Kasper, my impression was that Star Trek was very popular in Europe in places like Germany and the UK. Interesting about what you’ve noticed in Denmark.

Nielsen Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:41:08 +0000 http://www.filmjunk.com/?p=15725#comment-538026 Interesting article as always, Reed. However you should start proof-reading your own stuff before publishing, you sure are over-using the word "movie" in the beginning! About the issue at hand, I don't know if the movie will be a big succes in USA or not, but I doubt it'll receive all that much notice over here in Europe, there has been just about zero marketing for it in Denmark so far and not much net-hype either, where as other blockbusters like "Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen" and "Terminator Salvation" are getting a lot of people excited. Popularity aside, I think the movie will be good and appeal more to non-Trekkies like myself as opposed to previous movies. Interesting article as always, Reed.

Right now, I wanna see the new movie even if it is bad. Sean, the title of this article should really be "The Good of the Many." (It's a reference to the quote, "The good of the many outweigh the good of the few, or the one." Star Trek used the word "needs" instead of "good," but some people remember the word as "good" and most people would probably think that people don't really need Star Trek. The point of the article is that it may be better to make a movie for the masses rather than just the Trekkies.) Joel, you’d win that bet. Right now, I wanna see the new movie even if it is bad.

Just kiddin'. Are you seriously going to wait to see this movie when it comes out on DVD? I can't believe it. I'd put money on that you see it in theaters.
