Went to see Star Trek XI last night...
...on my own, because only having non-Trekkie friends around sucks like that.
( Let's say I was pleasantly surprised by this movie -- but only because I expected to dislike it in the first place. (SPOILERS follow, obviously.) )

They picked such an odd cast! The guy from 'Shawn of the Dead' for Scotty, and freakin' Eomer from LotR as McCoy, how strange! The guy who plays Spock is actually a good actor normally, but I would never have equated him with that role... Still, it sounds like a good time, if just to spice up the Trek world after 'Enterprise' failed.
On the up side, it is good to see/read you again! (look who's slow on the draw, lol) I've been busy, but not so busy as you by the sound of it. ^_^ High on my list of new discoveries: kissing girls is a lot like kissing guys, only softer, lol.
hugs!

In my opinion... Pretty much everybody else is squeeing happily, though.

I didn't know him before, but I don't think he makes a good Spock... Maybe it's better in the original, but his dub voice was awful.

Agreed! That's the one thing I'm grateful for.

Heh, you've been kissing the wrong girls then... *ggg*

Shatner approves of the choice of newKirk, btw--says "he's young, handsome, and he'll be very rich someday" lol.
lol! they're actually rather a snuggly bunch that i've been hanging out with--but I've found they have their rougher side. *ggg*

...ST II was made by a non-fan too. That's why they go all naval in that one, and there are some strange things in it which fans hardly ever notice, like cadets having to open gutters to let the photon torpedoes out!

Easier for you! Even I can see the K/Mc there, whereas my beloved K/S is pretty dead. (Except with the Spock from the original universe. Yes, I'm currently writing that story and I'm so going to hell for it. *g*)
The manually operated torpedoes were in the new one as well. (I don't remember ST II all that well. I've only seen it twice because it leaves me too depressed.) I'm not getting over the fact that they built the Enterprise on the ground. And I'm pretty sure the space drill is fishy phsyics, too. *sigh* I never thought I'd end up being the grumpy old fan at my (compared to most orginal fans) relatively young age, but it looks like I did...
