Star Trek TOS team and the Enterprise Shuttle Craft

企业号(USS Enterprise NCC-1701)的队员们和真的企业号(OV-101)在一起合影。从他们的穿着来看,这张照片应该摄于70年代末,Sulu还穿着大翻领西装,麦考一医生的裤子好像短了一点,手上的戒指倒是不少。Spock这时候还真年轻啊,但是我们的Kirk船长呢?是不是已经在EnterpriseBridge上了?

这艘企业号只是一个测试平台,没有真正飞行过,连发动机也没有,请见wiki

Star Trek XI again!

为了补全我昨天迟到的十分钟,为了追求我崇尚的Borg似的“完美”,我今天下班又连蹦带跑滑进IMAX

以前上新东方的时候,有英语电影课,老师曾经说过,你一边又一边得看同一部电影时,你会不知不觉得从熟悉的情节中脱离出来,开始对人物、对台词、对细节的分析。我倒是从来没有密集得看过一部片子(当然也没有这么密集得上过电影院),体会老师说的这些话,这次倒确实有一点。

我是一个Trekkie,但今天回来,总觉得这次的Star Trek,有点儿变味道,是变甜了,难怪官方影评里有一句词是” a Star Trek for everyone”,适合了暑期档的大众路线,开始与“金刚狼”、“变形金刚”和“终结者”来一较高低了。

今天的Star Trek与以前的十部电影完全不同了,里面的“诺基亚”与“百威经典口味”,把人仿佛拉回到现在,酒吧的泡妞和打斗,就像在“the girl next door”里发生的一样,只有看到河畔船坞的Enterprise,才知道故事发生在现在200多年后。不过,对以前的Star Trek来说,应该叫只有200多年后了。

快餐文化充斥的21世纪初,特别是经济危机的美帝国,派拉蒙能有这么一部有历史意义的电影让全世界的Trekkie和没有接触过Star Trek的人统统掏钱来电影院(据说现在全球票房第二),是再高兴不过的事情了,先不管走出电影院后Trekkie们会说什么,新生们会不会因为这次的刺激,去amazon搬来ENTTNG甚至TOS(以前的电视剧系列,从60年代开始拍的)来看,排名已经铁板钉钉了。

我敢说,那些搬来ENTTNG甚至TOS来看的同学们,没放半个小时,估计就关掉电视压箱底了,因为那里没有成天色迷迷的Kirk,没有师生恋的Spock,也没有浪得让我受不了的Uhura,只有按当年Gene Roddenberry创造Star Trek描绘的那个人类的未来。

我会继续好好做我的Trekkie,追求我理想中Ω结构的“完美”,为了XI中老Spock的最后那句重复了现在的地球历40多年的话:

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.
