Last Bit Of Sluttery....

Ok well...it'll be the last bit of it for a while. After a nice phone call with the matriarchs of the clan, it just felt imperative to do some mean updates to the site. Once I walk away from the laptop, there tends to be a nagging feeling that so much could be done and right now, so with that I present the changes with...

Re: Damn Trekies

Well, if the opening is any indicator, this film is opening doors that were never present in the past.(and this is a boy who grew up on Trek, and was even nicknamed Spock!) What is getting "lost" in the debate(I made a funny!), is that budgetary and cultural limitations led to the manner in which the early Trek unfolded. It took near 40 years to get to a point where the public at large was ready for many of the themes and ideas that were present in Rodenberry's opus, but one reason or another kept the whole thing locked in a forest of high idea, yet hopelessly hampered format which for the first time has been negated by the masses love for stimulating science fiction. Abrams' work on LOST is major proof of this - it's all come full circle. And while I do have minor quibbles with the new movie's internal logic, and ADD approach to the material, it is a bold step forward, and a brilliant way to recreate Trek as something more widely encompassing. The heart is still there, it is only better realized, and the mind is there, it's only the exposition we needed to get past. Now my only hope in this is that the next film returns Trek into classically cerebral territory and not just a flurry of action sequences. There's a major argument between fate vs. free will at hand with this,and I hope they really play into it as this runs against Rodenberry's ideas in many ways. Either way, this was a damn fun movie, and I can't wait to see it again.

First tip: Kill Chekov...prove that all bets are off...lol..
