Trek Review

I wanted so much to like this movie. Maybe I wanted it too much. I have to spoil a major plot element to tell you why I didn't like it unfortunately.

I tried posting it this last night, but my computer got all f'd up and the internet connection died

Watching the original didn't have much to do with whether I liked it or not. If anything, I thought the cast did quite a good job channeling the older versions of themselves. It was just the spectacle of old, old, old Leonard shepherding the new generation into their own nonsensical time-space continuum plot hole that bothered me. Had that taken 5 minutes of the movie I would have looked past it. He doddered on for like an hour. He even broke up the biggest action scene in the whole movie to appear!

I generally liked ZQ as Spock, but it just now occurred to me what was wrong about it. Leonard Nimoy as Spock never smirked. It was just beneath the dignity of Spock to do so. ZQ has to go to great pains NOT to smirk, it's just the way his face is shaped.

I didn't like ZQ as Spock because it wasn't ZQ as Spock; it was Sylar coming to the Halloween party dressed up like Spock.

I bet dollars to donuts Sylar shows up at a Trek Convention dressed as Spock in Heroes next season.

Now that he's touched Spock he can simply shapeshift.
