Still alive, if anyone's wondering. Terribly behind in all things online per the usual, but still alive. Will hopefully catch up over the weekend. Yes, you've heard that before. My intentions are still pure. :p

Oh, I was a serious ST fan for years and years. I was a SW fan first (since I was seven, ST since I was twelve), but for a long time ST took priority, because ST always had something new coming out. There were four shows in quick succession, three of them running for seven years each (I think; might have been six or eight), plus new movies, plus the books. But I gave up on the books before I gave up on the shows, because there were SO MANY. There'd be three or more new books a month, and I had neither the time nor the inclination to keep up any longer. And then by the time Enterprise and Nemesis came out, the quality had declined and ST had simply been overexposed, and my interest waned considerably. By that time, the PT had come out, which rekindled my interest and led directly to me discovering fanfic, which was not only a new obsession but which also led to me catching up on the EU, which was in the middle of the NJO at the time - so there was a lot of new SW stuff to be excited about, and very little ST stuff. SW is very definitely still my favorite, but it's so cool to see something ST that I actually like again.

Yeah, the continual mixing up of SW, ST, and the other big franchises by non-sci-fi fans is always a kick, isn't it? :P

This movie is extremely accessible to non-ST fans. You might well like it just as a sci-fi action flick. A lot of people who rarely if ever looked at ST before seem to love it.
