Trek Core Rants: Megaverse is Actually a Thing

The April Fool's joke from several months ago actually sparked some slow burn interest, and the guys at Chimera and Starship Locations, and at another blog site, did take notice. It just wasn't in any way viral, and not nearly controversial enough.

Starship Locations has our permission to name the ship the Megaverse and there was even a sketch done of it in July 2016.

Meanwhile, new Star Trek series Discovery, due out in May, does use some elements of the April Fools joke also, from an over the top seeming commander female, to a bisexual male officer, to a quirky alien, in this case a Klingon, and his crew.

Bryan Fuller though has left Discovery and will not be working for us either. He is doing American Gods.

This story never had an official sanctioned connection, although some of the guidelines for fan films made in June 2016 were very much like what Chimera82405 and the others discussed.

TrekYards, a web site that does fan ships and production interviews, accidentally uncovered two or three of our old connections from the 1990s, who blogged on their site.

Without realizing it, the TrekYards people referenced the idea of a silly My Little Pony character reference in a Star Trek story, and a Minion, so apparently at least they saw the post. Ha.

Starship Locations will not feature the My Lttle Pony or the Minion, but it will have some interesting characters, and a very similar ship.

The Saga of Orci to Lin for Directing Star Trek 13

A TrekCore exclusive rant now here! Here are my Chimera82405 comments on Star Trek 13 from when Roberto Orci was fired to when Jason Lin was announced as director. Enjoy.

This goes on from May 2014 to January 2015. I am only including my additions to the topics, including those based on Orci and on Lin and the blow up

Orci had after this. Ha. The Wrath of Orci. Lol.

Orci has done a lot of producer roles according to his imdb. Maybe he will hire on good writers.

Posted 17 May 2014 - 06:23 PM

Thank goodness I am not on trekmovie and am not Bob Orci. I was a TNG kid, teen during the first seasons of TNG, young adult during the later, and into

DS9. I've seen Paramount methodicallyu make hit and miss decisions including letting Shatner direct Star Trek V and making a prequel called Enterprise because ooh, the Star Wars prequels made money.

Now it's about post Sept. 11 conspiracies, magic blood, black hole time warps and wrong Khan, and uninspired comic books retreading the classic original. It's going to be the 50th anniversary. Is Paramount CBS and Hollyweird just trying to kill it? Nemesis nearly did. They got the wrong script and the wrong director. Now they're repeating that mistake.

In hindsight it looks like Orci might be the wrong choice. (Note I had nothing to do with it, ha). Why just make him the director because he's popular?

That worked so well for Stewart Baird. Even so, making trash talk about Orci's foolish and nutty statements on a blog is not helping.

Can't they just ask Jonathan Frakes or Levar Burton, or even Michael Dorn? I bet they'd hit it out of the park, given a good script.

Heck if they wanna go popular and interesting, how about Alphonso Cauron? Bryan Singer?

And one of you commented on the JLA movie evidently, because you implied Batman was going to be in the next movie without saying the JLA movie. And that is gonna suck too. Zack Snyder should stay away from the JLA movie.

I'm guessing that the draft Orci handed in was totally awful and the suits were like, oh my God, this will never work! If they're smart in terms of fan service, the 50th anniversary must be awesome. Awful stories would kill it. They've seen that Star Wars thing and they're like, Oh, what have we done?

Not that Abrams really helped with the second one making too much fan service, imitating TWOK in an unrealistic way. He might have stolen the treatment from fan boards and said 'let's just have time travel, Shatner, and reboot the destruction of Vulcan' from what rumor has it. Yeah that would have been intensely silly, and would have made them no money. The suits want to make money, not run the story into the ground with even more fan service.

What Meyer and Bennett did right in the 1980s was to already have been established at good character development, and also writing action. Even Berman and Braga for their faults, did keep it going for 18 more years. I give them credit for that. They knew how to do that, and to get good writers.

The Okudas are great production art designers but are not scriptwriters or directors. They create nice visuals.

It might be a little late in the game to get Garfield and Judith Stevens, unless it is a Shatner mirror universe movie, which would be fan service, but different. They're not going there. Neither is the script.

The Q Gambit comics pretty much do the idea of resetting the Abrams world using Q, but they will not do that in the movie. Fan films will, but not the studio.

The studio has seen all the Marvel movies go on with amazing results and want more action and explosions, and they don't seem to understand the balance between good dram and good action. If your characters act more like humans, the audience relates. If they merely go on spout catch phrases from other movies, it isn't good.

We here are true fans, not Orci, who really only has head knowledge of Trek and doesn't understand what Meyer saw immediately (that is in 1980 when he planned the classic film TWOK). The story (TWOK) needed to be about Kirk, Spock and McCoy, who are aging now,in the late 40s and early 50s, and TWOK is about middle age and making a go at adventure. It's not so much about Khan as it is about the three. Khan is merely the vehicle. He is not the Joker. 

He's the McGuffin. He gives Kirk a reason for being again, McCoy a reason for helping again, and Spock to discover that humanity sometimes means sacrifice. The Into Darkenss movie entirely misses this in favor of making it about griping characters, catch phrases, and showing variations on scenes that out of context have no meaning. Spock's sacrifice in TWOK made perfect sense. Kirk's in the new one doesn't because the magic blood brings him back. This is precisely why Orci is not the man for the job.

They'd never ask a fan like me to write for the series or direct. Ha. But I, like you, am a fan who understands something about this universe, the characters, and that world. Therefore, as another fan guessing, I can come here and give my opinion also.

Here is what Paramount should do. They should bring in Manny Coto to write the script. They should get a guy who understands character and action. Coto is pretty close to this. He was on Enterprise in the last season. (The Stevens' could be asked too, but only if Shatner wants to be involved). Maybe it's best not to have Shatner. Too much explanation.

Then you get a director that really gets science fiction. Too bad Joss Whedon is working on Avengers. He'd be perfect. How about Bryan Singer? Well he's working on X Men.

They don't want to get Bret Ratner or Joel Schoemaker, or another of those type of directors.

No, you want someone with heart who understands characters. Although the Shawn of the Dead guy does do characters and can do action, he hasn't proven he'd want to or know how to do Star Trek.

Jonathan Frakes probably wouldn't do it, but is not a bad choice. For TNG alumnus I would also include Levar Burton, Michael Dorn and possibly Patrick

Stewart. (But Patrick is working on X men). They would understand how to do Trek. They all have done episodes. I call Nemesis a fluke. Baird should stay away. Lol.

What is Christopher Nolan up to? He does like characters. He's tied up on DC universe stories, so probably not.

What is Aphonso Cuaron doing? He might be better. He knows fantasy characters and action also.

They have to think what will best bring them money. They can't use grab McG or Michael Bay or some ridiculous choice like that. They have to find someone at least interesting in Star Trek.

Maybe the guy that did Shawn of the Dead won't be a bad choice, but it should not be a comedy, and not a long cerebral thing either. Moon is a fine movie for what it is, but the suits want action, and it's not an action movie idea. Balance the action and the people. Make them believable.

Levar Burton. Good choice. :)

Would James Gunn do it?

Orci Will NOT Direct Trek XIII

Chimera82405

Posted 08 December 2014 - 07:19 PM

Vie, I agree with you on Alien 3. It was a mess. Both versions. It was like watching a badly edited video game, a bit like the new video game actually.

They lacked money so they made the alien a dog at one point, and it attacks this guy missionary style, so it looks like it's having at him. The audience was laughing. It was not scary.

Actually David Fischer might be a possible choice for Star Trek, but he'd have to keep from those quick cuts and have more character development than he's used to.

When I mentioned Michael Bay I said no, not him. Don't let him touch Star Trek. He already decimated Transformers, and his friend turned Turtles into gangsta versions of those awful jive Autobots from the second Transformers movie. He almost redeemed himself using a story very much like fan series as the plot for Transformers 4, but it wasn't that good.

Jonathan Frakes might be possible, as he knows Trek, but would he make it the Prime Universe saves the Abrams Universe? Should we go that route? By now Riker would be an admiral. Would a re imagined butt kicking Titan be in it, and actually be really freaking big? Great. The giant ship is the good guy.

Maybe that was their idea. More fan stories come to mind.At this point Alphonso Cuaron isn't a bad choice, just not a realistic one. They'll probably get Bret Ratner and it will suck. Hope not though.

The Okudas weren't involved in the new shows? Well they should be. They would at least have said the Vengeance doesn't make sense as a design. :)

Star Trek should not take a break at all. They should launch a TV series. Sign me up as a consultant. I have no Hollywood experience, but I can write a better story than the guys who wrote the last two. Ha. I'm used to the Berman and Braga era so they won't but if they did. Ha.

Orci and his people probably looked over the boards, including this site, and rival TrekMovie and old Trekweb, and used elements of some of the fan stories as his script for the film, because as some of you said, he isn't original or clever, he just knows hot to hack out a script that pleases he suits and seems to be good. Unfortunately, without Abrams or Kurtzman, who are probably better writers and have more cash, read influence, he was unable to actually come up with anything that made sense.

I'll spoil you with the (rumored) details. This script would have sucked. The studio knew they had a turkey on their hands from back in August. Khan was going to come back (with a super weapon), and he was going to get hold of a Vulcan time machine, which he was going to use to make history happen differently. The Vulcans were going to use it to restore history by changing the timeline back to normal, going back to when Nero first appeared and preventing him from destroying Vulcan, but Khan gets in the way. The universe then is completely wrecked, so that future Jim Kirk has to go back into time to the five year mission and help stop Khan from destroying the future. (The last was from a fan fiction and has been omitted).

The studio was like, holy cow this is crap. We can't use it. Close it all down. That was actually months ago in August. They finally realized that he was not only the wrong choice for script writer, but also director. They're about making money. Such a fan service convoluted time travel mess would have been awful. Then he tried to rewrite it so they time travel back to Eugenics Wars, which happen in this timeline in 2016, and future Khan and past

Khan and old Shatner are somehow still there. By that time it became such a mess they just shook their heads and tore up his contract.

(Fan script was fake, but...) What they ended up with was a reset button episode where somehow old Kirk and olf Spock return to stop the time machine, this keeping both universes intact, but sending Spock Prime back to the future. Yawn.omitted.

The idea is remarkably similar to some fan comedy films on the net, but Orci being a hack took it to be a good idea for drama.

Now you know. Or at least, you know a version of these events (according to rumors mainly from fans.

Just google Star Trek 3 rumors and you will find most of these stories from my speculation and dissemination. I should have been more clear that it was a collection of rumors not spoilers. Sorry.

Trektoday, screenrant, trekmovie, trekcore, rekbbs, all speculate on what happened at the studio that so enraged them enough to fire Orci.

I'm thinking the Cumberbatch stuff is actually old and isn't so, and that the Ceti Alpha stuff was just a fan fiction.

The accurate story is the Vulcan one, with time travel and the resent button, and Klingons, as there appears to be more on that. Shatner was going to appear from another timeline, allegedly.  Not sure how that would have worked. I even came up with an idea how it could, but I doubt the studio looked at my version, which didn't have Khan in it.

I am not leaking the script but you can find it if you look for it. I'll edit my post so it states which is rumor.

I have gone back and edited out of my first post the ridiculous conjecture and left the bare idea, time traveling vulcans, reset button, and that other bs that would have ruined it.

Yep, resetting the timeline ala a convoluted Sept. 11 conspiracy with a bad ass ship at the end again,  was his idea, but the Khan planet wasn't (that was a fan's guess). They were just going to have Khan in it. By the time he posts the script, he will have changed it. My sources indicate though that some of it was guessing, but not that core story. He wanted to do the second movie yet again, include time travel, Klingons and Vulcans, and reset the universe in the end. The most amusing speculation was that in the third one Khan was going to team up with Kirk to stop the bad guy Klingon. Ha.

Skydiving through space probably would have happened again, with this time a ship flying through the Enterprise, as it explodes and careens into the screen..in 3d, but it turns out to be a dream, and Kirk is really being interrogated (tortured) by the Klingons to get information. Ha. Then it would have a sideways ending where none of it happened.

But the sites speculated on Shatner. I don't think the script bits I found had much of anything about Shatner really. Those were fan speculations too.

Go ahead, Orci, complain again to the 'fans' all you like. We're onto you.

The TrekMovie stuff is probably written by one of their own people pretending to be Orci, so whatever he says is not true. But Orci was probably just planning on having old Shatner show up and saying 'it's not time travel', which is like his people in 2012 saying 'it's not Khan'. He got caught on it once. He's not about to admit it was his bad idea. That script must have been truly awful for the studio to let him go, and the script. But also Orci does go on blogs and rant. If it was really him, there wold be a longer post, explaining how we fans are 'all dumb and incapable of understanding the business, and should shut it', or something.

Maybe the other rumors about a Sept. 11 script with another villain, another big dark bad ship, skydiving, and the like, was actually closer, and originally that villain wasn't Khan. The Shatner story was tossed in there too. So he just shows up. No explanation. Not time travel. He just walks through the fourth wall. That's why I doubt seriously this is Orci talking on that twitter, orat least his boss is telling him say as little as possible.

The studio wants to make money. Perhaps without Abrams it is no longer possible for them to make it, and have stopped caring. Hopefully not.

Posted 19 December 2014

I do hope they pick someone like Wyatt. He would do a good character story with a good amount of action, and a pace that could work well for Star Trek.

Now all they need it a script that knocks it out of the park.

Edited by Chimera82405, 19 December 2014

Posted 24 December 2014 - 12:49 AM

How can they announce a release date when they tossed out the director and his script only weeks ago? This must be a rumor. The new guy is an action director who has not really proven he can do character stories as well as action.

The old guard fans are out of the loop here. Paramount could care less about the 50th anniversary, or else it would have been late 2016. Star Trek is no longer a thinking man's cowboy space opera, and has become a fix for hyperactive young people. Maybe the studio thinks it will make more money to have a similar bent.

Release dates can change. I will look into this and see what I can find out. I think someone at Variety has jumped ahead without checking. Still movies released in September do poorly, as one of you. No, December would be better, right around Christmas in 2 years.

Maybe they had a backup script. But do not include Shatner just because some fans want it. The studio will do what sells, not what a few people want.

They might not make the right choice, but they are running it, so it's their choice.

Posted 28 December 2014 - 08:27 PM

I tend to agree with the other posters. Shatner and the old cast are just too darned old. The younger people going to see the new movies aren't going to have the nostalgia we'd have for the characters. Sure I'd go for a Shatner inspired appearance, but they're not selling the brand to me. They'd lose their butts if they marketed it to middle aged fans, or even older ones, who don't like hyperactive stories so much.

What some other posters have suggested, put Star Trek back on TV, perhaps a TNG miniseries event, and closure, but don't just do a Shatner cameo because some are still butt hurt over Generations. As one of ya said, get over it! It's canon, He's dead in the other timeline. Sure they could say it's a new one, but then it would confuse all those hyper teenagers who wouldn't believe it.

Did you see Shatner as Kirk as the Oscars about 2 years ago? He looked really dreadful and extremely long in the tooth. Actually the Boston Legal fans might go to see it more than Star Trek fans would.

"Denny Crane is in it!" They'd say.

But they won't go there.

Posted 30 December 2014 - 08:21 PM

How about CBS and Paramount compromise. They can have their possibly final Bad Robot movie and that timeline. It's the 50th anniversary, so give the fans a 2 hour movie retrospective special on TV will all the surviving cast, best episodes clips, no real new content there. They just get all of the cast in a big theater somewhere and let them comment on how Star Trek has changed the world, like they did for the 25th and 30th. 

The Captains was just the captains. No, everyone. Two hours. And at the close they announce a new Star Trek series is to be launched in 2017 which will take place about 30 years after TNG but be in another part of the frontier. It would be essentially a reboot but have new people, a new ship, new adventures, good thinking stories, good adventures, and have fan interaction. We likely won't get that kind of holiday gift, but we fans deserve it. The special would be directed by Jonathan Frakes or Levar Burton, who could both handle specials. The new content would be discussions with the surviving cast. Then at the end they would spend 10 minutes on introducing the new show. The new cast would not step onto stage, but would be featured in a trailer that looks awesome. The fiftieth closes.

I didn't mention the cell phone, hypospray, or parables. Ya seem to harping on the nuances of a few things fans know, but that the general younger populace doesn't. The Captains was actually a good retrospective idea. Yes you could have YouTube clips from years ago also. Maybe this thing could be on Netflix.

Maybe reviewing and seeing the surviving cast might bore some of the fans, while others would be disappointed because Q no longer looks middle aged, and has turned into an old man, or Shatner looks really, really old. But they need to see it. The fans need to see Brent Spiner looking his age. Sure it ends some of the mystery of how people have aged, but ultimately it's a reunion that I was going for. The old cast reunites like on the box set commentaries and we see them again.

The reason there wasn't much mention of the old Dr Who is most of it was lost. They saved the audio from some of it. Many of the actors have likely died. I'm not into that but it seems that is what happened. They would have called in classixmembers if they could have. Or they decided it would be too confusing, there having been several Doctors.

A new series and new merchandising to go with it would be ideal, but if the studio picks another bad director we're looking at Nemesis part two. Maybe Lin will be surprising. Maybe he can quote Shakespeare. I dunno.

The point of doing a reunion story is to sit down with old friends from years of Star Trek and see them on one more ride. The 30th did it pretty good. They tied in to DS9 and Voyager. They have no new series currently though.

Also Paramount needs to increase their game, but not by stealing Marvel pots or being more like DC, but by actually makking a new series with excellent writers, and making quality action figures, models and toys. If they've learned anything from Disney, and Marvel, toys in stores also bring younger people into see the movie, making new fans. Star Wars toys since the prequels have never stopped, even though there were no new movies since 2005, and a cartoon show off and on since. You can still go to any toy store and buy a Luke Skywalker and he hasn't been in a movie since the classic, and he's not in the cartoon which was a prequel. Anakin was.

Star Trek needs to get off its butt and do something! They should not remake Marvel movies.

I don't ask for a hokey boring tech story on how they invented cellphones, but a classy and fun reunion of all the cast, having a chat an remembering what it was like. The cellphone thing is like a 3 minute thing, or less. They could even make it a gag.

The retrospective of it's 90 minutes of air time, for commercial breaks, would really only bring up Classic trek for 15 minutes anyway, as they have all the other series to cover, and their impact.

This wouldn't even be all that expensive. Then they could launch the new show. Hasbro wimped out on the toys for ID so go back to Playmates and reintroduce all the star treek figures, special new ones, models, etc. They'd have to do a new series also.

They won't do these things becuse the studio doesn't care that there's a 50th anniversary. The Dr Who one worked because the studio actually cares.

So when has Hollywood truly understood the fans of Star Trek? Probably not since the hayday of the mid 1990s.

Trek Web Story: How Chimera 06 Quit in 2013

This is an old reposted article but it stands to illustrate the musings of a blogger who intended to buy out Steve Kurtzner and revive TrekWeb, since nobody else offered what he did, to run it for free! 

My 2013 Trekweb story as TrekWeb was an odd duck
My 2013 Trekweb story...TrekWeb was an odd duck, but I liked it and stuck with it since starting there in the 2000s. It still exists though, but nobody is running it, just the stragglers who kicked off all those who suggested they could run it better. It seems with that even GK was not in the running, which is incredibly shortsighted. It looks like SK never actually made a deal with him, not that he flipped out, and he flipped out later because he was shunned for even suggesting he could run it better. Then there was the odd offer I joked about, immediately shot down as though I was a crazy person. The resulting flame war was irrelevant as I wasn't posting any longer and my account had been hijacked. (Noted when I came here on my first days in 2013). GL and Arcangel closed the account and locked it (as the blogger apparently posted defamatory stuff unknown to me). Ironically once I had gone, and several of my connections, the site completely died, but still is open as a link. The Facebook site they had confirmed the odd behavior wasn't from me, but from some angry blogger who had mad skills, and then GL closed the Facebook after a call from SK. I did not make an offer as one of those who could have run it. What I had originally offered, about when GK did, was that I was willing to help edit it. SK emailed me no, he was not interested, via that facebook.

I am the Editor

Kneel before my awesome power! Heh. I control this blog totally. I have been freed from the confines of the dead blog called trekweb and have come here to have my own rants.

Note that I haven't been on trekweb in some time, but that I have run interference recently for someone I thought was a friend posting, but it turns out he was not piosting for a month. Someone had hacked the account.

Like I would have literally three days to just kill making up bull on a web site for kicks. I don't even want to take over trekweb. That person was obviously not me.

When I tried to get on using this password last night, to erase all the crazy crap he allegedly said, I was locked out. Have been all day.

Gus from the facebook site says it's dead other there, so I will not pursue it, except to say that my friend nor I are posting. Whomever has hacked my other channels and is messing with the former site, chimera06, and changed it to chimeralives, is not us.

One of the oddest rants there was that he claimed to be me, after having taken some stuff off the online sites around here. I am quite present on the net. He could have just read stuff. Then apparently he removed his own rants, causing those who replied in earnest to look foolish.

I was locked out still today, and went to my other site on trekcore to inform them of this, and that someone is playing games, and has been libeling everyone in the name of chimeralives. I would never do that.

The hackers deleted OLVSKATSONLINE on YouTube and then deleted only posts from the Unofficial Star Trek Chimera web site on google, of which I was only temporarily locked out. They posted three names from the trekweb blog, probably to trick us into thinking it was them. It would be insanely dumb for the actual people at trekweb to post their names. I'll leave it up though.

However note that one of the unnamed trekweb bloggers, mad that the poster, an impostor, might be me, linked to the google account in question hours before said hacking. That was probably the most insane thing.

Oh yeah, and I would never print slurs about homosexuality online. Really people.We've been played. They stacked the deck.

PS. Now I know it's all been some sick game with some hacker. It had nothing to do with current trekweb people, but that account there needs to be toast.I am the editor in chief of this site and blog master.

TrekCore site hacked by YouTube bots

About a week ago this month, YouTube officially closed down TrekCore as a pay site for copyright violation, claiming that CBS and Paramount sent a desist notice to them. I ran it past the IT guy and he said it's likely not just a bot. The site was not really violating their copyright, so it was likely someone banned from TrekCore wh was jealous and out for revenge.

Drama!

 Anyway, I am not banned from TrekCore so it wasn't me.

Technically they could have been selling merchandize on the sly and that's what did it, or running bootleg pictures and music, if they hasd been flagged for that, but their IT guy posted that it was a bot attack and not that.

Well if you believe their IT guy.

No world yet on if anyone is interested in restoring defunct TrekWeb to life and Steve hasn't gotten back to Gus or anyone really.

Trekweb is still dead and Trekcore is annoying

No amount of commentary will bring back Trekweb and over on Trekcore they are just as annoying. The former TW people are there, including the hacker, and are posting insane rants. I am also there and not poised to take it over, as that would be stupid.

Recently they were ranting about Orci taking over the helm of Star Trek 13.

Earlier last month they were ranting that they were right about the DS9 finale which they thought was awesome literature and total genius, which was not the case. The finale was a hack job just tying up dumb events.

Nonetheless we have no plans to take over trek sites. If you want to find what's left of their facebook, it's now a petition to revive Star Trek V. Lots of luck there.

Ironically at this point chimera82405 agrees with some of the TW people about Orci being wrong but acceptable given his history. This is an opinion and not meant as journalism.

Trekweb is not dead but show runner is absent Chimera is over on TrekCore but over on TrekWeb there are still some stragglers and nobody is running the show. I suspect the moderator is trying to weed them out by not answering and ignoring them, until they've given up, but they have OCD and keep persisting. They have nearly given up. It is time for us to move in and take over. Hah.

Trekweb is on Life Support

The creators of Trekweb, the longest running Trek blog BBS in net history, run by Steve Kurtzner, is now a mess with four or five trolls posting there over the past week, left over from the Chimera incident. Chimera then reappeared on TrekCore under our purview and has been razzed there also.

The other Chimera who posted libel has disappeared, as it turned out this was a hacker troll who got access to that old account on Trekweb after I posted, and wanted me banned.

The facebook site for Trekweb is down also, because Chimera's new posts were there and aren't anymore. Someone running that site plagiarized his stories from Trekcore and puchished one there, to which Chimera then contacted the moderators and had them pull it. He did not pull the site. He just played net cop.

Trekweb still doesn't have Steve to come back and fix it, and he obviously doesn't care anymore, so this Gus is still there as one of their moderators.

Chimera is not.

One month since Chimera left and they're still on life support dying. Maybe the sit should have left him around just for entertainment, then even thje troll would have come back and at leasdt bad news would have been good.

We except Trekweb to expire by mid January when the server finally times out.

Update. Two other ex TrekWeb people, editors from the site, and a half dozen over posters, have fled with Chimera to TrekCore.com, another web site run by the remains of the admins from the site Steve abandoned. 

The TrekWeb site went down in 2014.
