The New Star Trek...


We saw the new Star Trek last nigh with our good friends Jen and Mark. Alex and I are sci fi nerds and we were totally jazzed about it. I think I was more excited about it than he was--I think I have seen all of the Star Trek The Next Generation episodes. In any case, we love the show LOST and couldn't wait to see how JJ Abrams retooled Star Trek. It was very well done and the new Captain James T. Kirk...well he is a total dream boat.

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it! When I opened up my Entertainment Weekly and saw the A- review I was VERY pleased. I too am a big TNG fan, so I have been counting down the days until this movie. Mike was kind enough to wait for me to get back from California to go and see it with him. I think we are going to try for a Saturday matinee. And yes, Captain Kirk is a hottie!

I liked it too! i myself am a closet trekky, shhh, don't tell. I'm a heroes fan, so I was excited to see scary sylar as spock--I thought he did well. One thing that bugged me was how kirk was just an a-hole. well, not that he was an a-hole bugged me, but that he's like the big hero and acts like an arrogant jerk all the time. do we really want to make that kind of guy a hero? I found myself rooting for spock more so that kirk could not be captain and have a bigger head. but it was still an awesome movie.
