Re: Trek

Lileks agrees avec moi:

Uhuru: Oh my. Ditch Ms. Nichol’s velvety star-stenographer routine, dress her up fine - these boots were made for establishing a subspace channel, and that’s not all they’ll do - and give her a hint of romance that really turned canon upside down and said HA HA to the purists. Loved her.

Star Trek

OK, given that I'm posting this at 5:20 on Friday I'm certifying my geekiness. Thumbs up on the new movie. I'm pretty sure I can say it is the best of the movies which I admit is not a very high hurdle. None have come close to any of the TV series. It's at least right there with The Wrath of Khan.

Karl Urban as Leonard "'Bones" McCoy was genius. Plenty of hat tips to original series and the 'tude of the movie is probably not unlike what Roddenberry would have done with the original series had he premiered it in 2009.

I won't say that Nimoy's appearance was a disaster as Jonah did but it didn't add much at all.

Best news: Uhura still hawt.
