albeit the original series cast and the “new” USS Enterprise i have read and i believe that the new Star Trek movie is an alternate universe that doesn’t “connect” with the TOS series.
i have seen the movie so no spoilers for me. so, what happens now to the old Spock? how come Nero & Co. “waited 25 years” for old Sock to reappear (then capture him afterwards) whereas in the movie there was ” 3 years later”? also, i have noticed some obvious deleted scenes not included in the movie but was in the trailer like when Nero was supposedly on the Klingon penal planet, etc.

I’m not sure if it’s from Star Trek, but when I do the peace sign or something (index and middle fingers to one side, ring and pinky fingers to the opposite; forms like a V) it feels uncomfortable and leaves a feeling in between the middle and ring fingers for a little bit. So will this have a negative effect if I keep doing it? (Like using both index and middle fingers to push both shoulder buttons on a PS3/Xbox controller simultaneously). What’s the worst that can happen if I keep it up?

I think a great plot for the next Star Trek movie would be the Romulan War, from begening to the creation of the neutral zone.

Authoritative Answers Only Please! Is there any hard evidence – not hearsay, no “I remember seeing it” – that Martin Landau was Gene Roddenberry’s first choice to play Mr. Spock on the classic Star Trek? Roddenberry himself denied the rumor all his life, stating Leonard Nimoy was always the first choice. Does anyone really have any proof that (as the IMDB asserts) that Landau was the first choice?

I was flipping channels yesterday and came across the Doomsday Machine episode looking like the FX went all 21st century, rather than the cheesier 60s FX. I was astonished! Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet…I wasn’t aware they did this to the original, and WOW does it look better.
