Is Star Trek truly in trouble and what does this mean for S/U?

Sep 04, 2013 23:36

I just got off trekmovie and they have an article about How Star Trek is broken and how it needs to be fixed. Does anyone here even agree that star trek is broken after STiD? Here is the link

I honestly think that S/U is the least of their problem but it's true that a lot of critics lamented the fact that a romance teased in the first movie wasn't used to its full potential in the sequel. Mind you, I don't think anyone (including us the S/U fans) have unrealistic expectations. We know that the story is not about them and frankly one of their appeal is precisely that. I, personally, love that they're subtle and their relationship is not the point. It's like watching a real life couple, the relationship is there and they love one another but it's sort of their business LOL They're a bit like a combination of Arwen/Aragorn and Hermione/Ron, if you get what I mean ( ... )

btw, though, I don't really think that trek is broken or that stid was a failure. I think that trekmovie might be exaggerating here. It's still a hit and pretty much a success for JJ&Co. It's not true that it wasn't, overall, well received by critics. Rotten Tomatoes is at 87% positive for the critics and 91% for the audience. I mean seriously.

SSTiD is more like the Dark Knight Rises. Sure the reviews are positive on RT but there has been a lot of fans that have said the film was awful or no where near as good as the previous two.

I do agree on S/U been similar to Argorn/Arwen and Ron/Hermione, I don't think any of this 3 couples mentioned have had 10 minutes together on screen in any film.however did we really need top see uhura screaming at spock on a way to a serious mission?

See, I don't think uhura was screaming at spock at all. She spoke up because spock has been careless with his life in risky situations and this was another risky situation. I think her emotions definitely got to her, but even Kirk backed her up. I just get tired of this one situation getting pulled out as uhura being unprofessional, when the men all have unprofessional moments, but get away with it.

however did we really need top see uhura screaming at spock on a way to a serious mission?While I understand that the argument between s/u was not the best timing, I think its a bit unfair to categorize her as screaming at Spock as if she were some angry child who was having a tantrum. Both Kirk and Spock also participated in the discussion and at no time did Kirk, who is captain, reprimand or order anyone to end the conversation, which he had the authority to do. In fact, he even supported Uhura in her claims ( ... )
