So, finally made it here into this entry!

Short version: you're basically reflecting my feelings; almost exactly! Though I think I loved this a teeny bit more than the 2009 film. But then I've already seen it twice *G*.

Longer version (even if incoherent):

I think Sulu had one of the best lines in the movie with "If you test me, you *will* fail." Woot! You really don't want to cross him *G*

The beginning was awesome! So awesome I'm also going to handwave the "how did they get the ship down" thing. Maybe the whole population was in that temple-thing at the time? I'm going to go with that, I think *G*.

And like you, I loved that Kirk learned that his actions are going to have consequences - and he can't just do things like on that planet (Niburu? Nibiru?) and expect to always get away with it.

Transwarp- didn't Scotty "Invent" that in 2009 film? So I guess that's what Khan got his hands on. But yeah, that journey to Kronos was awfully short *G*

It took me a bit to realise that he's Khan - it's not until they figured what's in those torpedoes that it clicked for me. But I admit - I squeed. I also love Benedict's acting. It seemed like he took care to pronounce every word over-clear, which, given how he's genetically enhanced and not a "real" human, made sense.

I love Scotty and his little friend (what's his name??).

Oh, and something random that intrigued me: In an interview with Zach Quinto he mentioned that there was a "gay storyline" in this film but then it fell victim to the cutting floor. I wonder what it was!!!

I think my favourite K/S scene is when Kirk tells Spock that he's no longer the captain and Spock gets transferred, etc. And Kirk says something like "I'll miss you" (??)... anyway, how Spock's mouth just opens... and closes again and Kirk's display of despair. Heh.

Other random bits:

The London Skyline! Woot!
The cable car in the San Francisco chase scene.
The way Alcatraz got crushed! Heh. Poor Alcatraz.
