to boldly go...

I saw Star Trek today. To disclaim, I am not a Star Trek fan. I haven't seen much of the original series, but I've always found the spinoff series (especially Next Gen) kind of flat and boring and plastic-- the characters don't have enough personality and the world just doesn't feel real to me

I saw it at the drive-in last night, and damn it was good :-)

Ooh, drive-in! I'm jealous. I haven't been to one in years.

note to self: Give into JJ. I LOVE Fringe and Transformers but other than that I dont know him. Never watched Alias cause it was on at the same time as Buffy or Angel I think...? And I dont know why I have never seen any of Lost. It's like Heroes or Battlestar (another Ive not seen) I guess, you know its horribly complicated before you even go in and you have to want to deal with/watch the complications in order to get the show. My brain is just not wanting to deal with that lately, it's been all about Banter for me lately. Shows like Bones and Castle and In Plain Sight and Life and the Closer, Burn Notice, Las Vegas...lol.

In other news TREK IS SO FANTABULOUS! Can I be a green woman please?! *thud* I saw it on the puter, I cant wait to see it on the big screen! I flailed about it a bit in my lj. And needs more Simon Pegg.

lol, I started watching Lost with the first airing of the first episode, so I never had to deal with jumping in later after things had gotten complicated. I think it's worth it, though it's probably a different experience to watch the episodes on demand instead of waiting for them every week... might be less frustrating during the parts where the story drags.

But yes, light bantery episodic shows are good too. I haven't been able to really get into any of the shows you mentioned (my mom loves Burn Notice but I find the lead guy annoying so I don't watch it despite the presence of Bruce Campbell, and I've seen random eps of Bones and Castle but they haven't sucked me in yet), but I do love me some Psych, which is about as light and bantery and episodic as it gets.

And so much more Simon Pegg. I'm sad he didn't show up until almost the end, but it was cool because by then I'd forgotten he was in the movie at all... lol.
