...yeah, I saw Star Trek. ^_^ My parents' friend came in to visit this afternoon so I had guest-sitting duty 'til my parents came home, and she wanted to see a movie - who am I to protest? Saves me from having to try to make conversation. ;) Anyway, it was all very shiny and enjoyable. The time-travel-alternate-reality thing didn't make me glaze over too much, which I was worried about. I appreciated the little bits of humor, although not being a lifelong Trekkie I'm sure there were references I didn't catch. I think my favorite characters are Sulu and Spock. Sulu was totally adorkable and the bit with him swordfighting had me all shinyeyed. Spock was incredibly relate-able - the writers and the actor really did him justice, I thought, with the caught-between-two-worlds, logic/emotion conflict thing. ...Jim, on the other hand, was kind of a jackass.

Also, I literally squeed out loud at the G.I. Joe and Transformers trailers. Homg. Okay, how many fanfic writers called it on what's going to happen to Sam? The 'Allspark in my brain!' trope is uber-prolific, srsly. ...I guess it was the logical conclusion. ;D *runs!*

	...Jim, on the other hand, was kind of a jackass. Hate to break it to you, but Jim was always a jackass...and sexist and...yeah... it's just who he is. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Agreed. (If anything, I'm impressed at HOW much they got Kirk down--as pretty much the wonderful jackass that he is.)

Although during the bar scene I kept expecting Kirk to comment to the recruiter "Wherzha bathroom...ah godda PISSH". :D (This is what happens when you've had friends who've worked Kentucky Derby meet a very inebriated William Shatner. Friends who've worked Derby, and who are also major William Shatner fanboys. :D)

	The 'Allspark in my brain!' trope is uber-prolific, srsly. Hell, Marvel did it in their comic book adaptation back in the 80's, IIRC. I can't wait for Devestator, though. (Reply to this) (Thread)
