There is no Star Trek thread

[erika]

Saw this last night and it was so good! I highly recommend it! Nice character development and the plot was all time-travelly and very cool. Plus, sparkly sparkly ships! I never liked Star Trek much (except for a slight crush on Patrick Stewart) but this movie was so much fun. Go see it!

I'm kind of pissed that I'm graduating law school and getting married this weekend because I want to  see this so bad.

Haha I'm sure it'll wait for you! Congrats on your happy happies.

How was Zachary Quinto?

There's a hot, hot rumor that McLovin is in the background somewhere in this playing a Vulcan.

My favorite.

That's a call screener's name if I ever heard one.

I had absolutely no interest in seeing this a few months ago, but all the glowing reviews have piqued my interest.

Well, the reviews and that one scene in the trailer where a planet is being sucked into itself. Set your phasers to FUN!

I have never seen Star Trek in any form. Original series, Next Generation, any of the movies. Nor have I ever had any interest to. Will this convert me?

Eh I don't know. You'll at least be into the story I think. But I still can't get past the cheesiness of the original series. I do like a lot of the concepts and such. But, if you haven't seen it, you don't know you won't like it, right?

Shame on you! It's the only one worth watching! Everything that came afterwards was sooooo booooring. Half of all the TNG episodes involved hanging around on the bridge chatting with Q, and the rest were bullshit holodeck episodes.

I'm so glad they figured out that they had to go back to Kirk et al. in order to make this franchise fun again.

I guess. I mean, I know next to nothing about other than the names of the characters, and that it's in space.

Maybe I could be a perfect test subject as to the objective quality of the movie. Like, the nerd in the Skinner box.

[erika]

It's a good movie all around. You don't have to know the characters to get into it.

I haven't seen Star Trek in any incarnation either. Kind of odd, I suppose - but it never appealed to me as a kid, and I've never followed up on it as a teen/adult.

I've tried like ten times since I was 13 or 14 to get into TNG. I guess it's never going to happen.

I do sometimes end up watching TOS at like three in the morning.
