Star Trek XI.
Y HALO THAR ELJAY. 8D;; Long time no see!
Watched the premier (here in Sweden) of Star Trek♥XI last friday.
Anyone else here (Trekker? First time ST-fan?) feel like discussing it/ranting about it? Any thoughts, positive, negative, bland, anything... I welcome everything since my feelings are quite mixed as well.

I adored it overall as well~~! I really think it was a very dignified and reinventing interpretation of TOS & handled the characters in a way I approve of. I laughed and cried as well... though some things made me do a double take..
So here are somea couple of points that surpised me. Sorry if I'm too in dept D: ;;
1. ROFL @ random guy Olsen. I knew from the second he jumped out of the aircraft that he was destined to only be a red shirt. I was both amused, but my more anal side was slightly disappointed since I really don't like the idea of such characters even having a place in Starfleet (there's supposed to be smart & proper guys dammit!)
2. Spock & Uhura. Sure I saw some hints to it in TOS, but seriously didn't think they'd go so far in the movie. It felt a bit rushed, to me, although I sort of just accepted it (Spock was quite torn up after all......and for good reason!!!!) and at first I laughed and though it simply was a nod-of-the-head to the ( ... )

I actually went to the bathroom [I tried so hard not to!!! and made my dash as quickly as possible!] during the part where said Olsen came into the picture. I left to go right when Pike had rounded up the troops -- and then came back in when they were about to jump outta the shuttle. I heard my friends loling about him wearing the red suit and how he was gonna die though! I dun really have much to say about him being a whatever character [since I wasn't aware that he was?] though someone did have to kick the bucket to intensify the situation, I'd say?
Though not knowing if there was any TOS claimed relations between Spock and Uhura... I did find it rather WTF??? during their first moment with one another. Frankly, that made me shifty towards Uhura with the unsettling description of slut... and that didn't sit well with me. I was like "wait... he was your teacher... and now you're macking on him? D: Whaaaat???" And then I had a lol moment ( ... )

Spock / Uhura: There wasn't really much of any relationship in TOS. Of course Kirk went around "charming" and being charmed by alien ladies a lot... but he always falls back on his T'hy'la (Vulcan for friend/brother/lover ;D), Spock. ♥
Spock & Uhura had some scenes that could be interpreted as, very vaguely, "something".. but I think it's stretching it far to compare it with the movie, cause they took it to a new lever completely. And I definite, definitely, defined, divinity, defiant, definitive, define, finite, defiantly, definer, deficit, defines agree that their first moment was quite surprising! And I totally agree with you about rushing it, but we'll just have to accept it as NewTrek ( ... )

Spock/Uruha: I'm about halfway through the first TOS series and I've come across those snippets in episodes that you linked me too, and even then, I didn't think much of any potential Spock/Uhura. And it's slowly starting to bug me in relation to the movie... XD; There's definitely hardcore!Kirk/Spock though 8) With some McCoy for flavoring, lol. I nearly died of awesomeness when I saw this. I was so thinking what Kirk was thinking... before he thought it. And then I smirked so slyishly when he did XD In any case, like you said, gotta accept the Spock/Uruha as NewTrek... ;X No use getting our shorts all up in a bundle when we could be enjoying the continuation of ( ... )
