The Big 'E' Revealed!

Here's a link for everyone who wants a closer look at the new Enterprise! There are a couple of videos that show the lighting pattern of the warp engines, as well as a gallery of great close-up shots of the ship!

(Shots below from the first trailer)


I like the new ship! The only part that bothers me a bit is the extended deflector dish. I'm pretty good with everything else. I notice a lot of inspiration came from the previous movies, but I guess there are only so many things you can do to that design and still have it be recognizable as the Enterprise.

Thanks!

It's Here!

The highly anticipated Watchmen movie opens today! The adaptation of the classic graphic novel by Alan Moore has had many starts and stops, but it's finally here! Added to that, the third Star Trek trailer is attached to the movie, meaning a lot of people are going to see it!

It's available for viewing at the Official Movie Site, but be warned, it contains content deemed to be major spoilers! (I've heard the trailer and I would agree)

Once I download a hi-resolution version, I'll post my impressions.

Poll Results

The last poll asked which Chief Medical Officer was your favorite and the results are in!!It was a close race, but in the end The Emergency Medical Hologram takes the lead with 41 percent of the vote! I have to admit, The Doctor is one of my favorite characters from all the series. And following a close second with 35 percent of the vote, is Doctor Leonard McCoy. 'Bones' was my personal choice for favorite. DeForest Kelley is a hard act to follow!
Beverly Crusher, CMO for Captain Picard, brings in 11 percent of the vote! Beverly was another great character, but this is a tough category, so don't be too hard on her.

Doctor Bashir from Deep Space Nine and Doctor Phlox from the NX-01 Enterprise each got 5 percent of the vote. Again, these characters were really good... this is a really tough category.
And finally, getting no votes at all was Doctor Katherine Pulaski, the doctor that replaced Beverly Crusher in Season 2 of Star Trek TNG. No surprise really, she was written as a female version of Doctor McCoy with none of his charm or compassion. I was glad to see her character leave the ship.

Thanks for voting and check out the new poll in the sidebar!
