Star trek 25th century tv#
He carries Spaced fans, themselves Star Trek TV nerds, and thereby re-invents post modernism by having Scotty tell Kirk to hurry Spock along through one of his trademark monologues. The presence of Simon Pegg illustrates this. The studio is trying to carry existing fans while appealing to the new. The Star Trek franchise these days is confused, even splintering. This is Star Trek, not Thirtysomething, and youâre striking at the wrong target. Kirk was a fighter, but a fighter for the right reason - peace Only he pops up just as the Enterpriseâs staff are looking for a change of scenery burnt out by several years in deep space. Good start, with a clear story arc and counterpoint. Without war, this warrior is irrelevant â so he goes in search of it and thereby seeks to destroy Starfleet and what he sees as a weak civilization softened by lack of suffering. Is there a parallel in the real world? Perhaps Islamic State trashing ancient cultures in Syria? Into Darkness is about terrorism â certainly a theme of todayâs world â but brought about by a run-away militarism.īeyond sees Krall as basically a Fascist lost in time and space. Star Trek (2009) confronts us with the annihilation of civilisations - Romulan and Vulcan. What is the canvas for the last three films? James T Kirk could always finish a fight but - I reckon â what he really wanted was peace. With the 1960s world tearing itself apart, Star Trek introduced the Federation as something that reinforced the premise that humanity could "live long and prosper".
Star trek 25th century series#
In this respect, Star Trek the original TV series was written during one of the most turbulent times of 20th century history: Cold War hysteria, the Vietnam War and the chaos surrounding the civil rights movement in the US all ensured a political context that was unavoidable and was translated into the science fiction of Star Trek on TV and in the films. Science fiction in general has always served as canvas for big, social and societal issues. Yes, I laughed at the Tribbletastic opening sequence and the Enterprise crash and burn took my breath away, but Star Trek was always about more than âjustâ the action. The Glenn remains my favorite ship of the bundle I'll probably love it the minute I fly it around.Beyond was supposed to be "film number three" of a slightly disjointed trilogy created from overextended riffs and alternate versions of the original timeline. I wish I could relate more with the design choices (I'd love to pick Hector's brain over that! If I could understand the whydunnit, I'd relate more and probably would like it more too). In sum, I think most of my beef for the design is it being contentious because it didn't match my expectations. They remind me of the engines Hector created for the T'laru, and I love how those look. I also totally love the impulse engines at the back, and I hope they resemble that on the final model. The weapon ports are the front are nice, and some of the chunkiness does seem appealing at the edge. I do like the edges of the saucer, and how Hector managed to make it angular at the back while still keeping the circular parts. I'm betting most of the spinning parts of the saucer have lights so that it creates more of a lightshow once they spin. I think the greebly over the back end of the neck is made for the temporal visuals. The bridge module and warp nacelles both heavily draw from the Buran-class. I get the impression the ship is much more built around the neck than its predecessor. The deflector is tiny, making it look like the belly is also very flat, but I honestly don't have a good enough PoV to feel comfortable making a critique on that level. It's very busy detail-wise.Īnother thing the 25c Crossfield seems to have missing are the corridors the Summerville (and 23c Crossfield) had, making the gap in the saucer this huge U-shaped hole (making it more like the Scryer than the Crossfield) with no way foot traffic can get through. I think the way the 25c Crossfield's saucer is designed is clever, but it seems to lose a lot of the Summerville's beautiful domed shaped that reflections would play over in favor of a lot of techy visual noise. Also, the Origin bridge has a window so, why does the 25c Crossfield lose its visible bridge window? I don't understand why the deflector is so diminutive, when Cryptic's design bible calls for science ship to have proeminent ones. But now that I see it, there's stuff in the design that I can't relate to. I always envisioned a 25c Crossfield would look amazing since kitbashing the Summerville and Edison seemed like what it would end up looking like. I kind of love-and-hate this model at the same time.
