StarTrek: Enterprise - Ruined before it even began

[Todd]

I just read that Hulk Hogan has a recurring role in the new Star Trek series, so already before it has begun it is ruined. Gene Roddenbury is probably rolling in his grave with this news.

 

[Low-light]

All I have to say is...

uuughhh!!!!

 

[R Nitelight]

I'll bet Andre The Giant is rolling in his grave too.....

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

Really!?

I Totally Love Hulk Hogan!!!

He Is One Of The Handful Of WWF Actors That I Have Always Liked. I Have Seen All His Movies, They Sucked, But He Is Always Such A Presence That I Wished Someone Woulda Placed Him In A Role That Was "Him', Ya Know?

I Bet He Does A Fantastic Job As Some Sorta Alien Or Something!
He HAS Ta Be Better Than WOOF, Right? lol

This Is Now Gonna Be A MUST Watch Fer Me Now

 

[Valdimer]

Geez!!

The man can wrestle, but act? Hmmmmmmm, I DONT THINK SO!

I'll say this much, Suburban Commando was good.....

Hell has finally frozen over...Hulk Hogan on Star Trek.

I cant wait to see it, lol.

 

[doctor_insanus]

Whatcha gonna do...

When Starfleet runs wild all over you?!

*poses*

Dude!

 

[Orlanth]

RNAB, Hulk Hogan was in the WWF long, long ago, he is now in the WCW.

Ang, I agree with Todd. This Star Trek series is fucked before it beginnes. Hulk Hogan sucks ass.

 

[ChaoticLil]

I'll have to wait and see....

I remember when I first saw the advertisements for Dead Poets Society. My first thought then way Robin Williams in a dramatic roll? No friggin' way! He was wonderful in it.

I'm no big fan of Hulk, but depending on what his role is, he may be decent (not going as far as saying good/great). Could give the series an interesting slant on things.

I'm a big "next generation" fan . . .

What is the New start trek goin to be about? Prequal to Capt. Kirk, or after Capt. Picard?

BOTF - Birth of the Federation, or so I've been told.


And raspberries to all the nay-sayers!

If it's Trek, I'm there with bells on!!!

Hogan isnt wrestling anywhere. WWf dont want him. WCW Wont sign Him. He is trying to start his own promotion but no luck so far!

Gene Roddenberry, the guy who hired zero talent George Takei, the guy who helmed embarrassing Jungle-Princess-on-another-planet original series episodes like "The Apple" ("Kiss? What means this word 'Kiss'?"), the guy who wrote forgotten cheesy lyrics to the ST theme music ("I know his journey ends never, His Star Trek will go on forever..."), HE'S the guy rolling over in his grave? I don't think so...

Star Trek has always had a cheese factor (Ensign Chekov, Desilu's answer to Davey Jones; Mini-Skirted Babes with Clipboards; Worf, the Kilingon Warrior with a Jewish mother; Seven of Nine's metallic cat suit, etc.). I mean, we're not talking Robert Heinlein here. It's Star Trek. It's thought provoking and uplifting, but it's also, ya know, TV. Let's not cast in bronze a franchise that gave us tribbles, Harry Mudd, green women and 23rd century chairs without seatbelts.

I think Hulk Hogan is a great idea. The man has charm and presence, and the series is supposed to be about the birth of the Federation, when humanity is rougher and more cowboyish. If you want the series to lead towards a kinder, gentler universe, it would help to start somewhere at the more violent, less refined bottom of the barrel. Let's have Hulk Hogan, by all means, if only to watch how the writers turn this slab of human shallowness into a nobel Federation officer.

Unless he's playing a blue, antenna sprouting Andorian or something, then I just give the fuck up and will go back to renting episodes of "Space 1999".

 

[unusuallyconfused]

I like Hulk Hogan. I think he is charming also. I'm not into Star Trek, but I wouldn't be opposed to checking out to watch the Hulk.

 

[SpectreT]

Uhm, isn't this the series that has Scott Bakula? And isn't it set before there was a United Federation of Planets? back when there were humans and vulcans working together and that's it? And Terry "Hulk" Hogan is going to be getting some screen time again? should be interesting, if he can avoid the urge to ham it up. And regerding his wrestling, to quote "Killer" Kowalski, "He wouldn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch." and he was talking about Hogan in that quote.

 

[Young Knave]

I don't know.

I agree that for the most part Hogan can't act, but this doesn't have to be a disaster. He might make a good Klingon, in a role in which all he has to do is look grim and doesn't have to speek much. I'm thinking of a part similar to Wilt Chamberlain's in Conan the Destroyer. He couldn't act either, but didn't need to in that movie, really.

 

[Sephiroth]

Geez people! The show hasn`t even aired yet. Give it a chance before you say it sucks. And who knows, maybe Hogan will be better than you think.

 

[cactiphile]

I'll bet Andre The Giant is rolling in his grave too.....

Don't tell me he's dead?

It's inconcievable as his mate would say.


Sob

Cactiphile.

 

[SleepingWarrior]

Hogan is just a cheesy actor for a cheesy, over-done concept.

 

[roosterboy]

i can't help it . . .

I'm totaly on board!!!

 

[OUTSIDER]

DCL Space 1999 rules, ya gotta love all those 70's furniture and the plot's kill me, used to watch it every saturday morning as a kid.

As to the new star trek series I'll just wait and see, you never know he might make a good comedy alien.

 

[doctor_insanus]

Used to watch a lot of Star Trek...

Now, all I know is Seven of Nine is the one with the big thingies!

Huh huh huh!

Probably have to pass on this one as well...
