My son wasn't too happy about what happened at Vulcan, but again it is a new time line. James T. Kirk was always my favorite captain. He resembles more of the tough guy instead of the overly sensitive Picrad and the boring Sisco. I do like Picard and Sisco, but they will never be a James T. Kirk ;) <abbr><em>geekmom´s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Geekmom-WhyCantMomsBeFunSexyAndGeeky/~3/_OZOtTKbRqw/" rel="nofollow">Gallup Poll: Conservatives are Single-Largest Group</a></abbr></em> I loved the new Star Trek movie.

I also loved the new Trek movie. I'm sure there's plenty that can be picked at, but I thought they did a great job updating all the original series characters for a new generation of viewers: I'm really looking forward to the sequels! <abbr><em>Erin´s last blog post..<a href="http://erinkelley.net/journal/2009/06/06/crossposting-excerpts-to-livejournal/" rel="nofollow">Crossposting Excerpts to LiveJournal</a></abbr></em> Ugh, the bug in the ear from Star Trek II and the flying needle from Dune (I think) I definitely remember disturbing my sleep as a wee one, heh!

Didn't know it could work either way. :-) @Tina: 500-600 times? whoa!!

This gives me a perfect record, I've seen every Star Trek movie in the theatre within its first two weeks of release -- saw the original movie on its first night -- AND every episode of every Star Trek TV series, even though I had to have a friend on the other side of the country tape Voyager for me and ship it by snail mail. Maybe that makes me an uber-geek. Any way -- about the bug, did you notice that they had the same bug in this movie, but they made Pike swallow it instead of putting it in his ear. <abbr><em>sue´s last blog post..<a href="http://sunflowerroots.blogspot.com/2009/05/one-single-impression-denouement.html" rel="nofollow">One Single Impression -- Denouement</a></abbr></em> My hubby and I went this past weekend also.

Poor Pavel. I've always closed my eyes. And I've seen Wrath of Khan, oh, 500 - 600 times. As a second generation Trekkie, I adored the new movie. It was modern and action based, yet still Trek at the core. I was worried sick with a Star Wars person in control especially when I read Abrams didn't know Spock was half human until he signed onto the project. Of all the things they could have messed up, if they'd messed up Spock, it would have been a deal breaker for me. <abbr><em>Tina Kubala´s last blog post..<a href="http://tinakubala.com/2009/05/31/not-a-real-triceratops.aspx?ref=rss" rel="nofollow">Not a Real Triceratops</a></abbr></em> The bug thing could turn anyone off Star Trek.
