Oh, that's a shame. The release dates for ID seem even more staggered than usual for summer movies. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think about it when you catch it, though :). What did you think about ST09?
Whoop, I had a mega-reply typed up a few days ago and lj ate it, then I just forgot to come back to it. My bad.
Anyway. Basically all of what you said, lol :D. Oh, man, there is so much h/c and also SO MUCH Pike&Kirk gen to be written in between 2009 and STID, I am just waiting for someone to post on the kink meme or AO3. asdlksaf;lkjsdf though - I mean, Kirk actually died. That is just so. I mean. Argh. I really don't have the time to be writing a whole lot right now (and I still owe ivory_silk a Trek fic from ages ago that has to be my first priority), but I really want to do something with it
( ... )
Pike's death made me SO UNHAPPY, ugh. I mean at least it wasn't a woman getting fridged but it was still very clearly fridging him in order to get Kirk motivated for the movie and that, I have to say, is one of my least favorite tropes. But yes, the one thing I liked was the history they so clearly had together between XI and ID, and that it was clearly not the first time Pike had gone to bat for Kirk. (And I have to admit, I also like the fact that they did take the Enterprise away from Kirk for that stunt-- I feel like getting the ship so young can't have been good for his ego. Unfortunately, any good it may have done him was immediately overshadowed by the rest of the movie, sigh.)
-_-; Yes. The gratuitous boob shots. At the time it didn't bother me so much, but on reflection...
