I'm still trying to decide if I think they're good choices or not. Matt Damon is a good actor, the other two I'm not so familiar with.

Pretty decent choices all, I think...especially Gary Sinise.
One of the advantages of Star Trek is you have the entire Federation: Fleets of ships spanning hundreds of years and thousands of worlds. Why do they need to choose a crew that we already know and love in our minds? Pick a new one. Explore something unexplored!

Crew what?

As a matter of fact, I did notice that, he was on Crusade way before being on Lost. :D
All in all I think the casting appears to be alright. I had a much harder time to accept Daniel Craig as the new James Bond and look how it turned out. :)
When I first heard that Matt Damon was being considered for the role of Kirk, I was apprehensive to say the least. But now that I think about it, I feel that he would be a great choice. He's about the same age as Shatner was when he was on TOS (Damon: 37, Shatner: 35). To me, he could also pull off the "look" of the dashing, space cowboy in the same way Shatner did 40 years ago. Moreover, after seeing him in a number of movies, I think he's more than capable of performing the role well.
I just hope this isn't speculation on who IGN wants to play the characters, and none of the aforementioned people are really serious about the part. We'll see I guess.
We also got DS9.
Ugh. Dont mention that pile of crap. :(
DS9 I have a few tiffs about especially nearly duping JMS in his style with the Dominion War. Though individually some of the episodes are interesting and deserve some recognition.
The one in which the defiant picks a planet that phases into this reality every 70 years or so. They never age but can't bear children. Sheer classic.
the Bajoran side story was sappy and boring. I wasn't really moved by any of their "struggle" more annoyed then anything. Granted their are some fallacies in the series but they are still enjoyable to watch. Tell me are you gonna watch MTV Real World over DS9 anytime soon?
breeder!
Ugh.
At least in voyager, you cared about the characters..
And most of the worst. While Voyager had some absolutely excellent episodes (like the one with the planet where time moves significantly faster, and [i]Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy[/i]), most of its seven seasons were drivel.
As for discarding DS9 as being a "ripoff" of B5, I suggest you watch it again, and if you still feel that way also discard B5 for being a "ripoff" of half the stories ever written. DS9 has plenty of its own uniqueness to it, just like B5 did.
Yep. Cared about the characters. Cared about them brutally wiping out first the writers then each other. Would have done the universe good. There were a few good episodes, but the bad ones far outweighed the good.
the sixth VOY Season was actually relatively good. If they had't done the seventh season, it would have ended on a high note. But they went ahead and did it, and did so much wrong.
Two examples:
Neelix: He may have been only a bit less anoying than Jar Jar Binks, but he was part of the Crew. Yes, if they would have taken him with them to the Federation, he would have been... 70 years away from his people, but where they left him, it allready would have taken him 30 or 40 years at maximum warp to return.
The Ending: This has the standard Star Trek two-parter ending problem: It is resolved in the last minute of the episodes. The last 10 minutes should have been about the characters returning home. But then again, this would have implied that in VOY, actions have consequences, and there's not the Magic-Reset-Button™ at the end of each episode...

they've got there that james mcavoy is in line to play scotty. i like the sound of that, i think he's a really good actor! he's currently in 'the last king of scotland' with forrest whitaker, and was also in the 'children of dune' sci-fi mini-series.
Worf[/QUOTE]Right well if you actually watched Voyager you would have seen alot of their various personalities. That episode where Bilana is split into two (her klingon half and human half) watch that episode and tell there was no personality there. I almost cried from that.
Chakotay The guy had more character then Riker ever did. Riker was a man whore when you get down to it. Chokatay was a leader and his peaceful nature side was a strong part of his personality. The episode where he finds the original home planet of the Maquis sheer classic. Its funny he just stands there naked. Do I really need to bring out more examples dude?
Cause I can go on and on. I watched every episode consecutively. What did you do like watch episode 1 of of season 1 and say "oh dur its star trek!"
The ending was lame yeah but tell me you could have come up with a better ending. I didn't like Kes being taken off the show either. Seven was a bitch strait up but she was still fun to watch.
Just for the record, I've seen every episode of Voyager except for one half way through season 3 which I kept missing when it was on TV. Enterprise is the only Star Trek series I've given up watching and even then I stayed until the Borg episode.
I'm not saying that Voyager was all bad, there were some good episodes. However, not seeing how the characters reacted to getting home doesn't really bother me as they didn't hold my interest enough to wonder.
Getting back to Star Trek XI, I'm actually wondering what they'll do with the Enterprise. Will it look the same as it did in TOS both internally and externally or will they design something new?
