"Enterprising" Young Men? Nice to "Meld" You? Does IT Still "McFly?"

Puntastic!

those names sound totally stupid.

How dare you make fun of the name of thes songs?! They're hella great! They're so clever! Don't you know the Enterprise is brand new so it'll have that new car smell? What, are you hella stupid?!

*urp* Oh, god. I just threw up a little.

Giacchino got big shoes to fill! looking forward to the OST

when does the OST come out?

There was a time that one look at a list like that would be a sure giveaway it was a joke. That it's for real speaks volumes about where we are.

"Nailin the Kelvin"?? Wow, only 2nd track, and already Kirk is "nailin'" somebody!!!

Well, at least it won't be wall-to-wall music...

Why does Giaccino eschew a unified composition style for punny titles?

Actually, this whole pun thing is a long-standing sci-fi tradition. I hear John Williams' original title for the Imperial March was "Dancin' in the Darth."

Is the Enterprise brand new? From the previews I've seen I think it might be in the movie but it shouldn't be as it had two captains before Kirk, April and Pike, which assuming they went on a five year mission like Kirk originally did made the Enterprise 10 years old before Kirk took over. I'm starting to think to watch this movie you need to forget the original series even existed.

Yes, Hephaestus, that is correct. This movie erases anything that ever happened in the Star Trek universe & starts it anew. Rejoice, oh mindless ones.

O.M.G. remember on friends when Janice would say that remember the shiver that went up your spine? And that was a joke This isn’t! Can any one after reading those titles even in the slightest think JJ took this film seriously? He made it into a joke, A Comedy. At this point if I was CBS or Paramount I’d sue His Butt for Breach of contract and demand that He gets Mental counseling. Anyone who is still think “Man I can’t Wait to See this!” Ya gotta see this film was done by a lunatic! And Not in a good way.

No, "Lost" (Holy aptronyms, Batman!), this is not a "reboot" in the traditional sense of the concept, that all that has gone before is wiped clean and remade, e.g. the post-"Crisis" DC continuity. That fact is clearly evidenced by the original Spock being in the movie. This is more like the "Ultimate" line of comics from Marvel, such that the original continuity is left untouched, but characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men or the Avengers are remade to reflect current sensibilities and culture while (hopefully) retaining the essential spirit that made them so popular.

In this case, the conceit seems to be going back in time and setting up a different time-line, which some theorists say is the only way one can go back in time. You don't actually go back into the timeline that resulted, in part, in your own existence, but you arrive in the past of a parallel timeline where the first of many subsequent differences from your timeline is you being in the past. So you may rest easy that in Trek continuity, all that we've seen before is not wiped out, and if you don't love the new film, it won't mess with all you have loved about Star Trek. Hell, if you're REALLY obstinate (like yours truly), you can do that with everything from Next Gen forward, including Enterprise. It works for me! ;)

I'm guessing none of you guys have ever checked out the track titles on previous Trek soundtracks such as 'the Sisko Kid' or 'Klang-napped' or 'There Goes Da Judge' or 'Max's Factor'...? it's a tradition going back to Alexander Courage - the track title is down to the composer's whim and sense of humor. You guys are just looking for something (anything) to complain about.

(Another note - you might do well to look up the track titles on Giachino's LOST & ALIAS soundtracks, which are also very punny. CD track titles decided after the fact don't make or break a film or its music. his music from LOST is amazing, and his contributions to the new movies will probably be the best since Trek VI.)

Help. After reading the list, my eyes rolled so far back that I can see inside my head.

We appreciate your passion and ardor for the subject, but the moment y'all go after each other, I'm afraid we have to delete the comments. Take it outside. :)

Thank you so much!
