I had a VERY vivid dream the other day of posting in my DW account and cross-posting here; I no longer remember WTF the post was about, but remember VIVIDLY being confused when the next time I logged on, IT WASN'T THERE. ...and then I remembered I dreamt it. Yeah. GO ME ( Read more... )

Yeah, it's been happening a lot recently, too - I did it again last night, though this time LJ was a minor part of a bigger and more complecated (though realistic!) dream.

Thank you for egg love!

I gave it more huggies today. It has a crack!

A big round crack in the middle, too, which means it'll be hatching soon! *happy dance*

Hmm. For all the various and sundry reasons I disliked nuTrek, I can't say 'anti-intellectualism' ever came up. Sure, it's not a paean to the sheer value of wisdom and knowledge the way some episodes have been, like Darmok or The Nth Degree, but then none of the Trek movies aside from perhaps TMP have been. And for good reason, of course, because while Darmok was gripping for torty-two minutes, stretched out to two hours it would've been interminable ( ... )

We've already had a black captain and a woman captain, so a black woman working the phones isn't the brave step out onto the ledge it was in the 60's; for myself, I'd have preferred to see Trek relaunched with a new crew that were as societally daring as TOS' was back in the day. A gay character, or an Arab, or someone of South American ancestry perhaps.

While I definately see your point, it doesn't fit with what they were doing, i.e. a reboot of established continutity. They need to established the known and beloved characters before more radical departures, IMHO. That said, if one of the characters you decribe isn't introduced very shortly into the new francise, I will be very disapointed.

That's the thing, though; I don't really see either the value of or the need for a direct reboot. I feel like, to create a strong new Star Trek brand, they should've gone forwards, not backwards. After all, aside from Spock, there's nobody in this film who has any essential character traits that connect them directly with the TOS characters. All the direct reboot has really done is lock the main cast into the casting decisions that were acceptable, even if only just, over forty years ago.

As for introducing new characters, later? If the whole point of this nuTrek is to revisit the adventures of the crew of the NCC-1701 (take to terrifying extents by some folks on TrekBBS) then where're you going to fit anything more than cameos and non-recurring characters?
