Why don't you just substitute the Adjective "Weird", or "Different". You are aware that this film is not composed of re-runs from the show, or clips from the old movies right? You are aware that this is a brand new Star trek film? Weird is a little vague. It's probably the Laziest Adjective around, often used to enforce bigotry. Weird has no concrete definition. It's a completely subjective word that only means what you want it to mean. So, what do you mean?

by JT Kirk
Nov 11th, 2008
04:40:44 PM
The saucer rips off The Motion Picture but takes out its slick underside curve. The neck is way too long front to back. The engineering hull is where it really falls apart though, it's bloated and rounded, everything's awkwardly-placed from the deflector dish at the front to the underside curve. Then there's the curved engine pylons which start way too far back (goodbye shuttlebay) a la Voyager, and then attach to the engines way too far forward so they look like the first time they hit the gas, the engines will snap right off - this was a flaw of the TOS design as well, but those engines weren't so overwhelmingly fat-looking. Except for the saucer, this reeks of many of the lesser-quality modern Trek design aesthetics, those that seemed to come from eyes that didn't understand what Trek was trying to say.

It's fine, it looks like the Enterprise, a starship with Trek universe nacelles, etc, as Cont. Op said.

by richievanderlow
Nov 11th, 2008
04:47:05 PM
This does setup the transition to the TMP version better. I mean, TOS Enterprise looked a little too low rent, and the TMP version was such a monumental leap. This atleast makes soem of the technology look more akin from the 5 year mission to the refit.
blah blah blah it's just a fucking ship!

get over it, it looks good, close enough to the original, just revamped. The problem is how crap all the actors look, they're like bad parodies. Spock looks like a fucking Beatles and Kirk looks like a serial rapist. Not that I really care, I'm not a trekkie/trekker, except for Voyager, First Contact and the Borgs.

Urban as fucking McCOY?!?!?!?)! You just CAN'T, JJ! I'm not here for your convenience! You can't just USE me, right, giving me great LOST, then shit LOST, then great LOST again, then meh-it-was-okay M-I:3, then fucking amazing CLOVERFIELD - it used to be great ALL THE TIME! Now you come in here with this new reboot Trek - it's a FUCKING REBOOT, alright?!? - and expect me to just carry on like nothing happened?

This happened before with that bastard Lucas. It used to be fucking great ALL THE TIME, then he had to go for the younger option - WAY FUCKING YOUNGER - and make toy movies, not the great movies he used to! I'm not here to be USED! I'm NOT YOUR BITCH, JJ! I WASN'T LUCAS' BITCH, and I'm NOT YOURS! He had a GREAT FUCKING TRAILER TOO, back in 1999, and LOOK HOW HE LEFT ME THEN?!?

This Enterprise looks great. It is the new Ferrari. The Falcon, however, is the Countach, gentlemen. A vintage Lamborghini pussy magnet that will give you the greatest ride of your life.

I may go for a spin in this Enterprise, but I'll see out my days in the Falcon. Resume discussion, fellows.

So far I like the casting choices, what I've heard about the plot, and now the Enterprise. I'll be there opening night and we'll go from there.

Does the fuselage look a little short?
by ccchhhrrriiisssm
Nov 11th, 2008
06:00:31 PM
Size does matter, you know. I like the design EXCEPT for the extremely short fusalage. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY (and I mean WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYY) too short, if you ask me.

In fact, it actually sucks if this is the final design. It look like someone knocked off a third of the fuselage, which makes the ship look front heavy. It doesn't really look "official" because this design completely ignores the ENTERPRISE from the original series AND the movies.

...and I WANT this film to do well!

Well it's better than anything since the TMP design
by Drath
Nov 11th, 2008
06:00:41 PM
Not that I approve of this talkback's backlash of anything that's not blindshit praise, but I'll give it this--I like it loads better than any ship called Enterprise that came after TMP (well, I liked the Enterprise B too I guess). In general I don't think a good new Trek ship design has come about since Star Trek 3. This one isn't perfect, the neck DOES go too far back and I think the fan design that's been circling the net was a better retro-redesign. But it's still loads better than the neckless pancakes that Berman inflicted on us. Okay, the Defiant wasn't so awful, but it wasn't a normal ship and I mostly liked it for aping the Millenium Falcon.

Big deal. I don't get recasting the original show like this. The franchise already spread into movies decades ago, so it isn't in the same category as Get Smart, Mission Impossible or whatever TV film reincarnations have come along in the past two decades. Why go over all this again with a look-alike cast of fashion models?
@bluebottle
by photoboy
Nov 11th, 2008
06:44:21 PM
It depends who you are, hardcore Trekkies starved of new Trek for over a decade probably loved that scene. I still quite enjoy it myself. I find myself surprised that Abrams liked that part of TMP when all the evidence points to this film being a vapid Nemesis 2.0. Plus, Michael Giacchino is going to struggle to come anywhere near Jerry Goldsmith's majestic score.

Anyway, why are the nacelles so close to the ship and why is the neck to the saucer section so far back? The nacelles are supposed to be far away from the ship for a reason.

...are not definitions of Weird. They are synonyms, all equally vague and subjective adjective. What you consider weird, or strange, or different or "otherly", depends on you alone, there is no universal consensus. Thanks for explaining furhter though. I see what you are saying about the mish-mash. And i think that's what they were going for. I very much disagree that there is no consistency to it. All the designs they're used feel like they come from the same universe, and how about his for consistency: Saucer section, neck, two nacelles, a deflector dish and a bridge on top. As you plainly mention in your last sentence, and i quote,"There will never be a finer starship design ever, so I guess everything else is a runner-up at best." Like many on this talkback: you made up your mind even before this film had a green light.

I'm sorry, but it looks like the fucking Enterprise to me. With all this talk of "masterful designs" of yore and "misplaced pylons", people seem to be forgetting the fact that, when you boil it down, this ship was based on two kazoos and a hair dryer. When I see this new design, I see the ENTERPRISE and it looks COOL. Sweating over the small details is pointless. Everyone probably has their own ideas of how it should look, and they're probably all different. This feels like Star Trek. And this feels like the classic Enterprise.

Seriously love it though, and from different angles i bet it will look even better... why people feel the need to bash future blockbuster movies is beyond me, i guess it must feel really damn good when these people are right that 0.0001% that they are right.

...now get me some Slusho! Here's what my trained eye tells me...no concave curve on the bottom of the saucer...which really never made any sense to begin with. The neck is too far back into the Engineering hull, but they did fatten up the neck. The nacelle wings are arching slightly forward..not straight up and down. And the single shuttle bay is back on the fantail where it belongs. Has anyone noticed the Null Number on the Bottom of the Engineeing Hull, facing down? Look at the wing of the shuttle craft, and you can clearly make out the 701, the wing makes it look like "a". This has to be where the crew first goes up to the Enterprise, McCoy and Kirk flying up...Makes you think, are there transporters on this baby or what? Or are they going to say it's a time honored tradition to fly to your ship??? It really feels like the first time you saw the TMP Enterprise in 78-79...without seeing it in action.

Really. WHY WOULD YOU RUIN THE MOST ICONIC SHIP IN SCIENC FICTION? Oh Yeah--Because you have no idea what good design is or what feels like "Star Trek".

The lines and the flow of the ship are all wrong.

The Saucer is too big, the secondary hull with the deflector array sticks out too far forward, the neck now goes all the way to the back of the secondary hull, the pylons supporting the engines are a joke and the nacelles have no venting between them generate the warp field. I have no idea where they cram the shuttle bay on that piece of shit, but at this point I give up. Am I being too geeky? Sure--but the strength of the original ship (and the 1979 redesign) is that they look like functional space equipment. There was space for all the crew and equipment, and a balance in the design, the saucer and secondary hull being of equal weight, balanced even more by the large engines.

When you watch the re-mastered version of the original show, you see that you can take the original design and breath new life in it with lighting and detail. They could have made minor alterations and still had their movie. This is over designed, fan-art pabulum and signals the last interest I have in this bastard project.

I was willing to go along with the tinkering of events and the characters, with yet another time travel story and an alternate universe...but you don't fuck with the things that made it great.

Oh wait, in this day and age when people don't bother to think of new ideas and constantly re-make classic projects (almost always with disastrous results)why am I surprised...I guess Trek really did die when Berman and crew ran the franchise into the ground with Enterprise. And I bet the corporate masters at Paramount will stop making books in that universe in order to support this revamp piece of shit.

Well, Fuck it. Star Trek is dead.

And I've never been much of a fan of Star Trek. Trek seems to suck at least 50% of the time (whereas Star Wars sucks exactly 50% of the time). But I really liked what JJ did to the Godzilla genre with Cloverfield. It wasn't a masterpiece, but it was a totally fresh angle on a very tired idea. I'm hoping he can bring an equally fresh outlook to this tired franchise.

Especially that one about the old Enterprise looking like "functional space equipment." It has a saucer, the most impractical space design possible. The Borg had functional space ships - a sphere or a cube. Anything else is just decoration. That said, it's hard not to like the Enterprise, practical or not, and this one is not much better or worse. I'm kinda neutral about it.

It's got the basic design very right, which is more than most people do with a lot of remakes. I don't much mind the nacelle updates, but the secondary hull just seems too stubby, like it needs to go back just a little bit farther to give the nacelles more space from the saucer section. The saucer is very big compared to the secondary, alot of Enterprise D did. Other than that, it really looks like a nice meshing of the original series ship and the refit from the motion pictures.

Redesigned Enterprise = Redesigned Millennium Falcon
by Negative Man
Nov 11th, 2008
10:53:07 PM

It should never happen. Both are classic designs and are iconic to their particular series.

A Millennium Falcon redesigned to generally look like the original design, but slicked up to look like it could actually do the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs would take away from the mystique of the ship.

The Enterprise looked like it was built for rugged space travel, yet also looked like it would need a damn good engineer to keep it going. It felt like an old Ford truck. Trusty, powerful and built for longevity. This new design makes it look like a rice burner. Always having to drive awkwardly over a speed bump as to not do any damage.

Along with the casting of someone from every popular film and TV series of the last six years, this 'new' if you can call it that Enterprise is just part of a long campaign by the hack director and studio to get people talking about a shitty original series that spawned some pretty awful films that less and less of its own fans saw at the cinema. Star Trek never had repeat business in the theatres because it rarely has business, it wont be any different now, non fans just won't be interested, Trek is too deeply uncool, doesn't matter who you populate the cast with, or how you redesign the ship with, or whether its a reboot or not, its actually not, its a prequel. Get over it. As with the prequel Star Wars films, will you really ever give a fuck knowing none of the main cast is in danger, and that regardless of what the enemy is nothing serious will happen to anyone? Not one single piece of information released so far indicates this film will be anything other than pointless. It still feels lazily cast, poorly conceived and marketed in such a way, that you losers moan and whinge about it, much as Star Wars fans do, so you'll see it 2-3 times. I seriously doubt it'll make anywhere near the money that Iron Man made, or Bond, or any of the big films this year. Trek has zero appeal to people outside Trek fans.

The litmus test will be how this movie holds up in comparison with the remastered eps of the original series. Shit, I figured the whole reason they were pushing the remastered series so hard was so that it would make for a smoother segway into this new franchise. I'm not gonna slit my wrist over this meh-tastic new design but it does kinda miss the mark. The main I'm worried about is whether this film will really capture the spirit of TOS. Science Fiction dealing with the human condition as opposed to mindless "sci-fi". I think Abrams is smart enough. We'll see.

by Longtime Lurker
Nov 12th, 2008
01:56:27 AM
I agree with Bill Clay. It's the Enterprise. It seems a cross between the ST-TMP design and the original 70's Phase II design for the aborted Phase II TV series. The original Phase II design was in many ways the basis for what became the sleeker ST-TMP ship. Somewhere on the net is a bit of video and also a few production stills from that 70's series, including pictures of the (unfinished) Phase II Enterprise model. There is also a digital rendition at the Star Trek Phase II (formerly New Voyages) site. This new ship reminds me of that. I'm not crazy about the nacelle "hoods" but I'll get used to it. I do HATE what I have seen so far of the new bridge. My biggest concern at this point is the re-characterization of Kirk as a bad boy hero type. That, more than anything else I've seen so far, locks the film into the present day. I suppose that re-boot can also mean re-characterization but that goes a bit far. Kirk has indeed become more like Finnegan from "Shore Leave," whereas it was often implied in the original show that Kirk was a bit of a grind when it came to studies and occasionally a bit too serious, though always a ladies man of course :) Then again, re-characterization has happened before. Kirk the interventionist liberal of the 60's became Kirk the "cold warrior" in Star Trek VI. Even accounting for a reaction to his son being killed by Klingons, I thought that was a bit much and forced in order to set up a commentary on the then current political situation. In my view, Abrams was not the first to rewrite or at least reorient canon to suit the present perceived need. So anyway, back on topic, some of the elements in Abrams design actually reference Trek Arcana in the form of Phase II. Maybe that thought will make it a bit easier for the hardcore Trek purists to take. Cheers, LL

I'd say I'm an average Star Trek fan. I've liked the occasional Trek movie, seen most if not all of the original series. I watched most of Next Generation and a lot of DeepSpace Nine. Hated almost all of Enterprise and a lot of Voyager. Yet what did I think when I saw this picture? 'Wow, looks exactly like the original ship. Oh wait, I guess those warp engine things are a bit sleeker...' It does the job for me - looks mostly like the original Enterprise but with some minor touchups. But a LOT of people are are complaining about what seems to be tiny things - you'd have to have stared at the original ships for hours at a time or studied the technical readouts or something to not only see all those changes, but be *offended* by them! Guys, it's just a dang Star Trek movie, get over it. Star Trek has never really been serious, nor have they ever cared about sticking to canon or changing things up. If this movie tells a fun story (Star Trek has always been about the stories) and has some cheesy but fun effects, that's all that matters.

I’m picky about many things, and especially Enterprise, my baby, the greatest of all spaceships, and far and away, the most famous. I jealously guard my adoration for this vessel. As a kid, I built the AMT model kits, even the ones with the fiber optic lights. I illustrated the ship unofficially in my homemade comic book stories, and I illustrated it officially for DC Comics’ adaptations. I knew USS Enterprise. I worked with USS Enterprise. Senator, that’s no USS Enterprise. LOL! Joking. But this new version will have to grow on me--- like a fungus. My initial reaction is that I don’t like the altered lines, or the added bulk. There’s a clear sequel series influence that smacks of the usual retroactive prequel irritation. Obviously, this is a marriage of the original show design, and all the subsequent growth of ideas from TNG to Voyager to that Bakula craptaculah, Enterprise. It’s a little funny to see that some fans still spout about how much this new Trek is deviating from the original Trek canon. Hello??? Anybody home? This is the whole point. The producers aim to cheat things wherever they choose, revamping with abandon, while managing to throw diehard Trek purists the occasional "bone." Chew slowly. Then decide whether to swallow-- or spit.

I would like to know, because that person will be out of a job soon, and with the holidays coming up I'd like to send his family some money for food. The one thing I am waiting for, however, is the new Capt. Kirk figure, as portrayed by that wonderful actor from the tweeney bopper films, Chris Pinesol, which will have a sort of kung-fu style grip so he can squeeze Uhura's boobs, just like in the movie. Roberto Orci, you've clearly outdone yourself with this masterpiece.

Dear Sir (possibly ma'am. It is the Interwebz, after all.), You're correct in stating that design is but one component of the overall impact a film may have. However, you say "poor design" as if this is empirical truth. It's, like, your OPINION, man! I mean, which Enterprise iteration is your basis of comparison? Are you basing your design view on archetypes, a la "circles=earth mother"?

I'm not wild about it, I don't hate it. But, I seem to remember that the Enterprise is the one thing that wouldn't be messed with. So I assumed we would be getting TOS Enterprise with better textural upgrades. Seeing what they've tried to do makes much more sense than just updating the textures, given the look of Trek, but I wonder where all that came from? It was obviously erroneous information. Anyway.. if the movie is good, the detailed design of this version of the ship is less important to me. We'll see what happens. Kevin Smith's report gives me an immense amount of hope.

This is terrible - everyone knows that the circumference of the hull on the original Enterprise was 4567.3269 meters. This Enterprise looks like it's circumference is 4567.3276 meters. And the color shade is .47 chromules lighter that the original. This picture has convinced me that there is no god, JJ is an empty shell of a sub-human with no intestines, and all of the worlds children should be ritualisticly sacrificed so that they won't have to grow up in a world where an Enterprise such as this can exist. Can you believe some of the crap that these people can actually complain about!!!!! It's the Enterprise - I like the ship well enough, but its a simple design. A frisbee, three cigars and a few popsicle sticks can do a good enough job of representing it on the big screen.

Why would I even expect someone in Hollywood to respect Matt Jeffries' production design? The only reason it looked "fake" in the original series was because it was constructed out of plywood. It's disappointing that no one in Hollywood seems capable of accepting the challenge of making the original design work instead of simply layering today's iPhone/iMac design sensibilities overtop of it.

Ah, well - as a "reimagining," I still hope it's good, but it'll never be TREK.

When people see this bastardized version of the Enterprise and they say it looks identical to the original series, it explains the functional illiteracy rates in the world. The classic ship is identical to this turd? Really? So I guess Rosie O'Donnell looks identical to Megan Fox. After all, they both have dark hair and tits, right? The only good thing about getting to finally see Jar Jar's new 'old' ship is that it definitively answers the question that he and his production toadies have refused to answer: yes snot eaters, it IS a total Battlestar Galactica style REIMAGINING of the Star Trek franchise. Everyone is now free to decide if it's worth the money to become nostalgically reinvested in some hack's attempt to make money off a dead horse.

Yes there were toys of the Enterprise when the '79 movie came out--I had them.

One of which was very cool, you could take the Enterprise apart and reconfigure her into different classes of ships...which is where I started loving how well the ship was designed...and why this ship is disappointing...almost as much as people's lack of understanding as to why this design doesn't work.

I get it--you guys never cared about the ship--if it slooks somewhat the same you are satisfied. If he was going to do this, he should not have Leonard Nimoy in it at all...just have it completely seperate from the original universe...but he is trying to hedge his bets.

I am not a fan of the redesign of Battlestar Galactica, other than it's abillity to pull it's fighter bays into it's sides--but that show went out of it's way to say it was something new. This film is all about "come back to the beginning, but a new beginning that is not the real beginning, it is the beginning that we are going to give you, so you better like it or you get nothing..."

And to that, I say...I have hundreds of hours of Star Trek that I already love...good luck with this...

The sad thing is that this will be a hit, like that abortion of a movie, Transformers, because modern audiences are not discriminating in their tastes. IF it has millions of dollars of marketing, people will go and see it. If only there was a giant young actor in the cast who could die of an accidental drug overdose so the film could be the second highest moneymaker of all time...

Alright, so in looking at it, the neck of my TOS model is actually set just as far back from the deflector dish. I think it is that the ship is not long enough so the scale is all messed up - making it look squished. Anyhow. I am going out to do something productive now and get some sunlight.

Pissed Off And Bitter is right, the Enterprise always did look a mess. How is it that the Romulans have better looking ships, and even the Klingons and everybody else for that matter??? I always thought that hurt the show somehow and even the movies. The Enterprise is just not sexy enough. It doesn't make you say..."Damn, that is one of the coolest things that I have ever seen!!!"

I think it is time for a total reboot of Star Trek from top to bottom, and just focus it a little further in the future with a more realistic, functional real world look...ala Aliens.

THAT is not the starship enterprise not the one i loved when i was growing up this is some cheap half arsed attempt to make money out of a franchise that produced wonderment for millions and had its day. Why in gods name are they doing this captain Kirk IS will shatner plain and simple. Leonard nimoy IS spock. Nothing will ever change that, they have had those characters for decades why cant they leave this alone, i am telling you all right now this is going to be a massive dissapointment something you will have to convince yourselves that is good when in the back of your mind you will know the truth, it just isnt right. The Star Trek motion pictures should have been allowed to live on in dvd with fathers sitting their sons down and showing them the story's they loved as a kid not raped on the big screen. peace and love

I would like someone to explain intelligently what exactly they have a problem with in this picture. It's the FUCKING ENTERPRISE. Saucer. Hull. Nacelles. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU WANT? I'm a FAN and I don't want to be associated with you whiney bastards because it's just gotten ridiculous. Don't like the cast? Fine. Haven't seen them act yet but whatever. Don't like the small amount of the story you know about? Fine. Haven't seen the movie yet but fuck it, whatever. Don't like that the production team "doesn't care about the fans" that, you know, didn't turn out to support the last batch of films? Well, never mind that they included LEONARD FUCKING NIMOY in the film even though there's not a SINGLE non-fan movie goer who could give a shit about seeing him on screen, but yea, they must not care at all. But to look at that picture and HONESTLY say things like "This isn't Trek!", "People who like this are PLANTS!" ,"I'm going to DIE ALONE!" , etc.. just makes you look infinitely beyond pathetic. No one can look at that picture and honestly say it doesn't look like the Enterprise. No one. Show it to any person on the street who isn't obsessed with the different Klingon dialects, and they'll say, "oh yea, the Enterprise, haven't I seen that a million fucking times?" Yes. Yes we have. And it's the same goddamn ship. Call me a plant. A fucking venus fly trap plant that will kill you on sight if you bitch about the nacelle scoops or whatever within earshot of me.

Here's what Entertainment Weekly says...J.J. Abrams wasn't a huge fan of the original Star Trek TV series as a kid, but he does have one unabashed gee-whiz Star Trek memory: watching the first feature film (1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture) and marveling over the big reveal of the Enterprise during a long sequence in which James T. Kirk takes a slow-boat tour around the iconic starship. "The coolest thing about it -- maybe the coolest thing in the movie -- was when you flew around the ship, you could see all the different panels that made up the ship," says the director of the forthcoming Trek reboot, It's bad nes for me. I went to see that movion my very first date and guess what..? Yup, you guessed it - I fell asleep because of the long, boring tour around the ship. Shit.

This Enterprises’ Warp Nacells are oddly shaped and worse, poorly positioned. From an engineering stance, aren’t the Warp Nacells separated from the rest of the ship’s fuselage in the event of a localized catastrophe? I can’t see any ship-wide explosion being avoided if those puppies go up in flames – they’re merely too close to the saucer section. I also have aesthetic reservations about their positioning, but I digress. I do agree with some of the other TBs in that the story is most paramount (pun not intended). But is the same true for a film that features one of the most iconic spacecrafts in sci-fi?

Several folk myself included have already mentioned the plants in this and the last few talkbacks, compared to the amount of posters the offical forum for the movie has there is no way they can be everywhere on the net posting positive drivel....so they getting some much needed backup.

Even forums that have nothing to do with movie news usually will have a general thread where someone will post about looking forward to a certain film, only this one seems to be way off everyones radar and worse still if it actually is they don't care for it.

****Yes, there definately needs to be some kind of "Member Since, and Date" stamp on each posting...as well as date info on one's last post entry**** I agree this would be appropriate, and yes I believe strongly these posters saying positive things about the film are plants! Some measures need to be implemented. This film is supposed to be a reboot of the classic series but yet JJ ABRAMS shit on everything from the series. Having two blow dryers as nacelles or having the bridge look like a futuristic oxygen parlor is not cool nor is it respectful. None of the actors look anything like the original cast especially the guy playing Kirk and Simon P. PEGG? WTF! As for the comment by some JJ Abrams scrotum sucker, it's the cliched thing to say by these hollywood guys, who are normally ten years too late on fads, will attack a reader about needing to get laid when we're telling the truth about their movie. But for these guys who wrote Felicity and Six Degrees, and Fringe it's expected. It's becoming clear who you are everytime you fudge packers write a comment. Knock it off! Grow some balls and come out like B-Dub Bruce Willis and talk a whole lot of bullshit about a movie that rapes everything cool about a franchise. I hated him doing it but at least he gets respect for coming out clean as a supporter than pretending he/she is one of us!

Ah, the usual RTD thing - I loved the emotion of it (because if there's one thing RTD does BRILLIANTLY, it's great big epic adventures) and really enjoyed the full-on return of Davros! Some great scenery-chewing dialogue for him, and throwing in the Doctor's face all the chaos and terror that follows in his wake was great. "I have shown you yourself!" Fantastic stuff... and almost the end of the TARDIS too!!!

However...

Can't complain about a gay agenda here - at last RTD's letting the characters be themselves - not so great in the case of Captain Jack, who isn't so much a tick-on-the-"gay character"-box this time, more a 2-dimensional caricature, the sad uncle in his 40s who still thinks he's 17 and sexy. It was nice to see everyone in the TARDIS at the end, the most like a family the Doctor's had since the Time WAr, and then the fantastic way RTD puts on Donna a fate worse than death...

There was so much in it that was close to greatness, but then the usual half-arsed can't-be-bothered RTD approach to consistency and logic took over. Towing the Earth was spectacular AND stupid - why no one line of technobabble about forcefields and gravity shields or whatever to explain why the Earth didn't freeze or lose its atmosphere? Just a little more attention to detail could've made the best RTD finale to date also the most consistent, intelligently written and great! But no - emotion > logic, spectacle > sense, broad stroke characters > nuanced character performances, as with every RTD finale. Lots to recommend it though - Davros' scheme really was EPIC this time! - and loved how he left the Doctor how we first saw him in ROSE - the Lonely God, on his way to save an uncaring universe. Moffat's got the same blank slate to work from as RTD gave himself, and you have to give the man props for that.

All in all - not much for me to hate on, really - actually quite enjoyed it! Waaaaaay better than that Master storyline that closed off Series 3 with a big shit on the mythology - Dobby the Time Elf my arse!!!

There's a fantastic picture on FilmDrunk where some sarcastic fan (probably an AICNer) has taken the Enterprise picture on here and modified it, Michael Bay style. FLAMES ON THE ENTERPRISE!!!

Well worth checking out. Welcome back, Smashing, and look forward to clashing / agreeing (depending how it goes!) on the DR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. Only 42 days to go!!!

Oh, and Smashing... PLAAAAAAANT!!!
