Trek!

I, too, have seen the new Star Trek, and wow it was awesome.

Trek aside, it was just a damn fun movie -- that it had these characters we know in it, felt like sort of an bonus treat thingy.

Oh, I totally hate you seeing it in IMAX. Wasn't it great? So well done, and the music was brilliant. I actually stayed to the end to listen. I wanted more now!
I was trying to remember, though. They did change the original beginning? I can't remember if Kirk's dad really did die.

Spock Prime tells Kirk that George Kirk lived to see Kirk take command of the Enterprise in the Delta Vega scene.

He did. But I don't remember if that's true, or if we even know it. It's been so long since I've seen and read Star Trek that I don't remember. *rolls eyes at self*

I think it's in Best Destiny, one of the novels. George Kirk gets very little play in TOS, unlike Sarek.

I thought it sounded familiar. Although I read those in high school.

Me, too. It was one of those rare movies where, at the end, I found myself sort of bummed that that was it. Totally want more.

Exactly!! How often does that happen? Never.
