Star Trek

Libraries also have movies, so I can talk about movies on here, right?

I've seen Star Trek 2009 a few times before, and I watched it again this week. I don't usually do movies, but I like this one. I have a few random comments about it which include SPOILERS. You might not follow my comments if you haven't seen it already.

1 -- Captain Pike is HOT!!! Yeah, I know he's old enough to be my grandfather, but every time I see the movie I go all ga-ga over him.

2 -- The opening scene is so heart wrenching. Does everyone else here cry when they watch it?

3 -- Has anyone noticed that the older Spock is more expressive than most Vulcans? It seems Spock embraced his human heritage more as he aged.

4 -- I kept wanting to giggle due to my memories of how certain scenes went in the gag reel.



5 -- I like the following ending better than how it was in the movie. After all, it's not like getting rid of things will make a space ship lighter in space. And even if it did, it wouldn't help you escape a black hole.



6 -- If ships go through black holes, then why not planets? Hey, the entire planets of Vulcans could have been transported back several trillion years! Or maybe to the future! Why not? It'd make a good story: a planet suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

You should write for Star Trek!

Somehow I don't see myself doing that. Coming up with ideas, sure. Writing, no. Then again, who knows what I'll do in the future?
