Dept: Star Trek BBS Update
Here are some of this week's active discussions on the STAR TREK BBS...
- No shields explains NX-01's rough look, and warp speed deflectors?
by SteveKrutzler, who attempts to explain the somewhat "futuristic" look of the NX-01's hull.
- Mr. Hippo's Best and Worst ST Actors
by Mr. Hippo, where some have claimed William Shatner belongs nowhere near a list of "best" actors.
- I was hoping for a really alien look for Dr Phlox
by O. Deus, who expresses concern that the Doctor Phlox makeup may not break any new ground; a discussion of the thematic importance of alien makeup has emerged.
- I'm Totally Blown Away!!!
by Captain_Stingray, who isn't the only one who was completely enthralled by the first footage of ENTERPRISE in the UPN ads debuting last Wednesday.
- Will ENTERPRISE include the Star Trek theme music?
by baboymo, who asks whether the Alexander Courage theme will be used in ENTERPRISE and an interesting discussion surrounding modern music vs. traditional scoring for the new series has emerged.
- Enterprise Crew has little Ethnic diversity
by BanzaiCanuck, who has started a revealing discussion concerning the surpisingly Anglo-centered Trek casts and the potential lack of real diversity in the newest Trek crew.
- Klingon makeup change--it seems almost too obvious to think B&B will ignore it
by SteveKrutzler, who thinks it's almost too easy for Rick Berman and Brannon Braga not to want to explain away something like the Klingon makeup change, if for no other reason than to gain fan adulation.
- Mr. Hippo's Top 10 Need-to-be Star Trek Captains
by Mr. Hippo, who thinks Charleton Heston, Marlon Brando, and Sean Young (among others) would make good Trek captains.
- Snap Poll: The Nude Decontamination Scene
by Archangel, who asks the BBS whether the rumored "nude decontamination scene" is going to be, in their opinion without having viewed the episode in question, will be sexually exploitive or genuinely integral to the story.
- Mr. Hippo's 10 Shamelessly Exploitable ST Women
by Mr. Hippo, who has compiled a list for the ENT producers to refer to when ratings slide and sexploitation becomes necessary (ala Voyager).
- Holographic Rights and Professor Moriarty
by Praetorian Guard, who asks whether the return of The Doctor should prompt a re-thinking of the situation of computer-bound 'Moriarty' from TNG.
