Star Trek Into My Pants

Bought my ticket in advance, got to the theater half an hour early... and maybe two dozen people showed up by the time the movie started.  I know it's a Thursday night, but I hope that's not indicative of attendance in general.  Anyway, on to...

All the spoilers! )

fannish ramblings, star trek

It's so odd that I didn't really think of it as a terrorist subplot. I thought of it more in terms of revenge -- which is certainly part of terrorism. But if that was the goal of the dedication, why not also include the London first responders from those bombings?

I TASK YOU WITH WRITING THE "BONES AND A DRAWERFUL OF TRIBBLES" SUBPLOT. GO.

They just HAD to work a tribble in there somehow. I'm still holding my breath for the unicorn dogs.

And while we're on the subject... that was one fucking mutant tribble.

"There was so many themes it didn't feel like there was a central storyline (character wise)"

yes! that put it perfectly. I'd had the same impression but didn't know how to express it.

"Who is Khan?" HAHAHAHA SIT DOWN ON THE COUCH AND WATCH THE TV.

I don't know that the "death" scene was better, but I think it had a different significance here, for all the reasons you gave. I'm still not sure how I feel about Spock shouting "KHAAAAAAN!" but at least there was a quick jump cut so it didn't feel silly.
