Star Trek... 05/08/09

[Michelle.]

I'm now officially a Trekette.

The next new one will be seen wearing the Troi inspired mini-dress from the TNG pilot.

Back to topic, how quick this girl goes to talkin' fashion!, is anyone else waiting in anticipation for the release?

[Arch]

Definitely. Looks like they've done a pretty good job of casting. Let's just hope the story is decent.

First film I've been exited about in years 

[Just Kate]

I'm so stoked about it.  I just wish my mother had lived long enough to see it - she was a massive trek fan from back in her days in the Spock official fan club.  She passed away in January.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I will think of you both and pray for your happiness

Back in the Seventies, it seemed like such a dream that there would ever be more Star Trek; so I have to be thrilled that there are now eleven movies and hundreds of more episodes.

On the other hand, according to Rodenberry, one of the things that made Trek great was that,  since they couldn't afford massive special effects, they had to have real great stories.  So I am disappointed that this movie is so visual and so much about special effects.

Like so many other things, I see the glass as both half empty and half full.

I dunno, it's written by one of the Lost guys so I wouldn't count out the story department yet.

Anything Star Trek is a good thing.  I have been a Trekie since Kirk, Bones, Scotty, Uhura, Solo and Spock.

Live Long And Prosper,

Mom will be there with you in spirit.
I'm not the only Trek fan...cooool

My kids are very excited! I was not a trekie as a kid but have one son in particular who likes anything scifi like. I am looking forward to seeing it with them.

I would see it but...I dunno...right now I'm too much of a Data fan lol

[Michelle.]

Its a good flick. Great special effects, excellent casting. A well done prequel/reboot. I won't give away the big spoiler, but it is huge.

I believe the target date for the sequel is 2011.

Now give me more bloody Harry Potter!!!

[V M]

You want us to stab Harry Potter to death? 

[Michelle.]

Virginia... you stay away from Harry!!!

[V M]

Sorry, thought you were hungry

I saw it tonight and it was on par with Wrath of Khan.  It was a good story, even a key scene in a turbolift.

I guess my biggest beef is that Scotty and McCoy were way too young and Sulu a little too old.  Scotty and McCoy were a generation older than the bridge crew, and Sulu was significantly younger than Kirk.

Could you confuse us a little more please? Now I'm thinking of band members I've played with 

[Michelle.]

Wrath of Khanesque was my first thought, in more ways than one.

Leonard Nimoy was quoted in todays Palm Beach Post, " After the first film, I felt that Star Trek was a beached whale, and the second movie put it back in the water. This film hopefully will do the same thing."

I thought Scotty was along the lines of say 3-5 yreas older than Kirk. McCoy about 8-10 years older. Than again I'm often wrong.

If they were all the same age, like high school buddies in space, what fun would that be? actually, that might be fun
