If so, the lower age range of 23 is too young, though of course I guess they can get a younger actor and simply say he's late 20s or whatever. how old was Kirk when he became captain?

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Uhuru
Spock mind-melded with Nomad (which might be considered a bit silly itself) and mentioned the other, named Tamu. Tamu was, to quote Spock, an alien probe of great power. Its purpose was to collect and sterilize soil samples on other planets. Nomad's directive was to seek out new life. When Nomad and Tamu merged, their directives merged into one to seek out perfect life, and sterilize all that was imperfect. I never understood how the badly damaged, 20th Century Nomad could overpower the programming of the (we assume) perfectly functional, technologically superiour Tamu to cause such a glitch. I'm assuming Nomad was mad and that gave it the power to change Tamu's programming. As for silly plot points, yeah, Uhura somehow being trained is one, and Trelane's powers were another. Although later sources now suggest that Trelane was actually a child from the Q continuum, which would explain his powers. Another of the silliest--perhaps the silliest--plots in classic Trek was Spock's Brain, where Spock's brain is hijacked to run an alien city underground. Later McCoy reinstalls it, with Spock literally talking him through the final steps from the table where his own brain is being installed! Stupid concept, and even sillier was when McCoy rigged up the remote control device to move Spock's brainless body. Somehow Kirk could use two or three buttons to make zombie Spock walk toward a lady, grab her wrist, and press the specific button needed to unbuckle the pain-giving devices she'd clamped on the landing party. I read that a Trek producer greenlighted Spock's Brain because he was pissed at Roddenberry and crew, and wanted to show how stupid some of the pl ots had been. -- Original message -- From: Said Kakese Dibinga [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, yes I remember now!...can't believe that I missed the KiSwahili expression!

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Uhuru
In the Changeling, Nomad is the metre-tall robotic probe that nearly destroys the Enterprise, only stopping when it hears Kirk's name. Turns out Nomad was an AI probe sent from Earth in the late 1990's that merged with an alien probe after being damaged, and got a new directive: to seek out only perfect lifeforms and destroy all that was imperfect. It spares the crew only because it's damaged memory banks confused James Kirk with its creator, Jackson Roy Kirk. There's a scene where Uhura is singing, and Nomad tracks her down and asks her to explain the purpose of music. When she struggled to do so, Nomad wiped her mind clean in an attempt to find the answer. Scotty gets killed charging Nomad to save her but Nomad easily fixes the Unit Scott. When Kirk orders it to repair Uhura, it says it can't because her mind has been wiped. So--in an incredibly hard-to-believe plot device--McCoy and Chapel undertake to retrain her, claiming they'd have her back to college level in a week! T his, despite the fact that Uhura's pronuoncing the word blue as blu-ee!. At any rate, in frustration over pronouncing something, Uhura says it in Swahili. Of course, how the hell she'd even *know* Swahili if her mind had been wiped clean is about as crazy a device as the fact they can retrain her to Starfleet level in a couple of weeks! -- Original message -- From: Said Kakese Dibinga [EMAIL PROTECTED] I like the line, xenophobic telepaths...

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Uhuru
You are correct. The episode was Spectre of the Gun. Kirk insisted on carrying out a First Contact with a race of xenophobic telepaths who warned him not to approach. During their first message to the ship to go 'way, everyone on the bridge heard the message in his native tongue, including Uhura with Swahili. In two more eps, Uhura spoke Swahili. In The Man Trap (the salt vampire) she spoke Swahili with a crewman (who was actually the creature in disguise), and in The Changeling, when the computer Nomad drained her brain, she spoke Swahili in frustration while being retrained. -- Original message -- From: Said Kakese Dibinga [EMAIL PROTECTED] My question is when they say Uhura is almost tom-boyish - as if she grew up in a house full of brothers. Do they mean brothers as in siblings or brothers as in black men? If memory serves me right, Uhura insinuated that she spoke KiSwahili (the episode were an alien spoke to the crew and they said the alien spoke their individual lanquage fluently Chkov in Russian, Spock in Vulcan, etc., etc.,... www.onceuponatimeinthecongo.com - Ready for the edge of your seat?

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Uhuru
little things like that irritate me. Sometimes the desire to only have younger people in movies bothers me too. But I'm confused. they said McCoy is a medic, not a doctor? What does that mean? Is he still in training? Will Kirk be a captain in this movie? If so, the lower age range of 23 is too young, though of course I guess they can get a younger actor and simply say he's late 20s or whatever. how old was Kirk when he became captain? Picard was 26 - 28, and that was one of the youngest in Starfleet history.

Wonder if Sulu will also be gay, the way George Takei is in real life? -- Original message -- From: Daryle [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is JJ Abrams.

I have not met her personally, so maybe they were giving her DARK makeup and lighting in the beginning...but she seems to have gotten lighter between the miniseries and last season.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Uhuru
So ideally, we¹re talking about having Sidney Poitier and Angela Basset as
Admirals...Cassandra Freeman as Uhura...I take it Pam Grier is the original
voice of the computer...who¹s doing the score, Isaac Hayes or Quincy Jones?
I¹m trying to remain optimistic about 11, but I read recently that they¹ve
cast Chekov. This would make 2 movies where they ignore TOS completely, and
act like Chekov has been down since Spock became first officer. ³Wrath of
Khan² was embarrassing because Khan claims to remember Pavel, when dude
wasn¹t even on board at the time Kirk sent him to Seti Alpha 5. It looks
like Trek 11 is being told from the perspective of a Spock flashback, which
is interesting, but Spock was on Enterprise before Kirk -- before a LOT of
the cats we know to be crewmembers, even. And he was not Pike¹s Number One.
He wasn¹t even KIRK¹s original Number One. This movie could turn out to be
the biggest mess since -- ³Lost² season 4.

just kidding. Just remembering the storm
casting decision for X-men. I do not think Uhura is in it. If so, it
will likely be someone like Halle Berry

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Uhuru
why must Uhura be tomboyish? Is this another tough Black woman thing that whites so often love to cast? And since when is Bones McCoy the same age as Kirk? -- Original message -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tracey de Morsella wrote: Halle Berry of course. just kidding. Just remembering the storm casting decision for X-men. I do not think Uhura is in it. If so, it will likely be someone like Halle Berry Uhura is in the movie. Here's the casting sheet that was leaked earlier this month: JAMES KIRK] 23-29 Handsome,cocky self assured and earnest. Great physical condition. 6 ft or less [LEONARD (BONES) MCCOY] -28-32 Medic on the Enterprise. Smart, clever and a bit danger-loving. Dark hair, blue eyes. [UHURA] 25ish -African American. Brilliant, beautiful, heroic and FUN!, Uhura is almost tom-boyish - as if she grew up in a house full of brothers. [SULU] 25-32 -Asian American male (preferably Japanese). Helmsman on the Enterprise. Extremely fit, capable and dedicated. A bit of a wildcat. [MONTGOMERY(SCOTTY) SCOTT] -28-32 a brilliant shipâs engineer. Must be able to do a flawless Scottish accent! I've never thought of Uhura as tom-boyish... if Freema Agyeman can do an american accent, she's got my vote. ** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
