News about Star Trek and any of it’s many spin-offs, movies, books, and more.

Star Trek Nemesis Footage

UPN will be airing some footage of the tenth
Star Trek feature during the Enterprise season premiere on September
18th. I didn’t need another reason to watch, but who am I to look a gift horse
in the mouth. My guess is that the footage will be online (legal or not) the
following day.

Beltran Talks Trek

From the “Bitting-the-Hand-that-Fed-You” dept, Robert Beltran (Chakotay from Star Trek: Voyager) talks honestly about the late show and his costars.

Any of you old time readers will know my views on him from my reviews. Personally I don’t think he was a good choice from the beginning and he only has himself to blame for getting himself written out of the show.

For those of you new to this story, the short version is that Beltran made numerous nasty remarks in the press about his costars (particullary Kate Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan) and the writers. From that point on, each script featured less and less of him on screen. In fact, in the last season, you can watch nearly every episode and count his lines on one hand. And most of those amount to “We’re venting plasma” or “The shields are down.”

“Shockwave” Rerun

If you missed it, the first season finale cliffhanger will be rerun this week, September 4th at 8pm (though you’ll want to double-check your local listings).

Great episode and a killer way to round out the first season.

Season Two begins September 18th.

Nemesis Bits (New Ship/Title/Trailer)

Some little bits today, so I’ll cover them in one shot:

New Romulan Warbird

No word on its size or capacity, but this ship, the Valdore,
will appear in the upcoming movie.
It’s nice to see some evolution to Romulan ships since they’ve been stuck with
the same old warbird
since the first season of TNG. Details can be found in the official
release
and at FilmForce.

Title Change

It is now “Star Trek Nemesis”. No colon in the title. No idea why.
Any guesses?

Second Trailer

That same official
release
from StarTrek.com/Paramount
also mentioned that details about a second trailer would be coming soon. As
soon as I spot something concrete I’ll let everyone know. The first
one
was a blast!

Wil Wheaton cut from Nemesis

Yeah, it’s been reported everywhere else, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t put our two cents in. Wil’s own web site has his heartfelt feelings on the matter.

Looks like it was nothing personal, just that the movie clocked in at three hours long. Anyone else smell a special edition DVD release?
