Didn't know where to put this, because there's only a "book review" sub-section, but not a "movie/TV-series review" sub-section.

So, any Trekkies here ?

Just recently I have watched "Dark Frontier" which is an episode from Voyager, in which the Borg Queen tries to lure Seven of Nine back into the collective to oversee the assimilation of a new species. The 2 episodes also detail how Seven's parents, the Hansen's (probably of Swedish origin), followed the Borg vessels and even entered them to study the Borg drones and it's organisational structure. They developed a technology that allowed them to enter a Borg cube, without being detected by the Borg drones.

But here's what I don't understand: Captain Janeway and her crew went into the Borg vessel with the same technology like the Hansen's to get Seven back to Voyager, and the Borg first ignored them because they were not detectable, but why exactly ?

The Borg assimiliated the Hansen's years ago and also their memories and technological knowledge. So why didn't they "see" Janeway and assimilated her ? Wink

I've seen all of the movies, used to watch the Original Series, Voyager, and TNG pretty regularly, and read somewhere along the lines of half a dozen books tied into the franchise but was never especially hardcore about it. Overall, I'm more of a Trekkie than Star Wars fan but the core of my sci-fi geekery lies elsewhere. Hehehe.

Prefer TNG/DS9 myself, although "Dark Frontier" wasn't that bad compared to your average Voyager episode.

I've seen all the orignal series, have them on DVD.  Seen all the movies, starting to watch TNG again.   I even had a Star Trek t-shirt, I wore yesterday.

Seen all the movies, all of Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise, and watch TNG infrequently. I respect the Original Series, but have no real love for it. I tend to view TNG as incredibly overrated and don't care for it much either.

But yeah, Voyager.. A constant disappointment.

I never got into Voyager, watched some on TV and wasn't impressed.

     I've seen most of TNG, VOY, & ENT, but my favorite is TOS. I've seen all of the movies, except for VI.

Movie 6 is a very good one, you have to watch it at some point.

     I've tried to get hold of it, but with little success. I'm rather cheap, so I don't really have the means to buy it or stream it. Undecided

The title sucks imo but the teaser trailer just hit and the actual movie is looking pretty incredible.

Film looks good (for action and box office), but it's hardly "my" Star Trek anymore.

Yeah... when did Star Trek become a generic sci-fi action thing?

With Voyager and DS9.

I saw the OP and thought, "Aw no, not another Star Trek movie." But. Marketing and economics drive the American big budget film industry.

Lots of folks actually do still make movies, though, but they're not marketed very well. You actually go make movies with a good script and good dialogue and a real story, and if they look good you graduate up to these kinds of things.

TOS or nothing Smiley  That said, 2009 movie was enjoyable and I'll probably end up seeing this.  I really hope the rumors that Cumberbatch is playing Gary Mitchell are true.  That was one of my favorite episodes!

meh I'm not big on the franchise. I enjoyed the last movie but haven't watched it since. Nothing really grabbed me in this trailer and the title absolutely blows.

Maybe I'll catch it on TV.

Eh, stop whining because they're action sequences and special effects. It's not as if such elements were totally absent from Wrath of Khan or First Contact.

I really liked the 2009 movie and everything, but the trailer doesn't leave me very excited. That trailer is barely recognizable as Star Trek.

And yeah, the title is super dumb, and the reason that it's super dumb is also super dumb.

Michael Bay will be directing again? Disappointing.

Sheesh, some of you guys are harsh. Action sells, so it's not surprising that the teaser trailer is very action-centric.

The 2009 movie was a lot fun and certainly doesn't deserve to be compared to that brain dead Michael Bay crap.

So shall we take bets as to who Benedict is playing? I'm playing it safe and calling it for Khan. Tongue

I think the Gary Mitchell theory seems more likely.
