I know... I know!
I keep hoping that someone will do a mini-series of one of John Ringo’s books or David Drake/Steve Stirling.
And do it right.
Some of the “Sci-Fi” that does come out these days is pathetic.

This week in Eclectic Hit Space Opera Show: Our hero Capt. Spiff Rockhard encounters a superior alien intelligence who can spout technobabble with more skill than Spiff’s enigmatic mentor, Dr. Knockov. This results in a personal crisis for Knockov, a crisis which eventually mounts until it threatens the entire crew of the GSS Tupperware Doorprize. Meanwhile, the occasional object of Spiff’s affections, the fiercely independent, vinyl clad Lola Badassmongoteets, gets serious with a semi-humanoid alien hunk with a distinctive patch of silly putty on his forehead, unknowingly arousing the jealousy of her friend, the cerebral but plucky zoot-suit wearing girl-genius Meena Alsoran. Meanwhile again, the accident prone but loveable Fred Everyguy develops a friendship with the ship's new janitor, portrayed by a well-known guest star whose name eludes us at the moment.

SciFi shows are starting to become as rare as hens teeth. Thanks to NBC's ruining of the Sci-Fi Channel.

It’s the original series. One of the most entertaining/funny tv series ever, IMO.

You never get the slightest bit of inspiration in the middle of July. You just get sweaty and uncomfortable. Now, September’s a different matter.

Well I went,against my best wishes,to see the new Star Trek Movie.It blew donkey dong!They didn`t even try to follow ANY of Roddenberry’s time-line!The later recycled menagerie episodes (I forget the titles) indicated that the Enterprise had already sailed to Talos before any of the characters had even gone to Star fleet academy.Kirk,in lamenting Pike`s accident,mentions that Captain Pike`s voyages were required reading during his academy days!They expect a cheap gimmick like a change in time lines to alter things that much?And the idea that a super nova could endanger the galaxy is absurd.Even a gamma ray burst wouldn`t do that.The plot was forced and haphazard at best,the only thing I liked was the FX.I don`t care how much money it`s earned at the box office,it sucked big time.

They didn`t even try to follow ANY of Roddenberrys time-line! Well, you knew that before going to the theater, didn't you? It's a "reboot" of TOS with a different timeline.

To: hattend
But my point is that they didn`t even try to follow the things that couldn`t be changed.Kirk wasn`t even in the academy when Pike was doing his first voyages of discovery during the maiden voyages of the Constellation class star ship Enterprise.Its as though they moved ALL the characters back in time as far as their own births.I didn`t buy it.What about Pavel Chekhov?He would have been a preteen at this time.

I haven’t seen the movie yet so I can’t really discuss it with any real knowledge but from what I have been reading all the inconsistencies you are talking about is on purpose.
This new reboot doesn’t necessarily follow the Star Trek TOS canon.

To: hattend
So we are to believe that the Romulan ship`s time travel actually caused ALL of the characters to be born years earlier than they should have?One problem,the ship reentered the timeline on the day of Kirk`s birth,not before his conception.So how is this supposed to have altered his bith date?
