What, Trek should just moulder away, sacred and untouched, kept alive only in some mastabatory loop forever?<br /><br />FUCK NO.<br /><br />You can still have the old stuff you love and revere, but the world grows and changes and moves on. If you don't want Trek to be the butt end of an old, tired joke until it ends up finally forgotten, you HAVE to let it reinvent itself for new audiences and go where it hasn't gone before.<br /><br />Enough with the rehashery. SMOKE that rehash! It's about the future--let it move forward and have a future. <br /><br />So there to the nerds.Hyla Tracy IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316185162682308156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375691158383831389.post-71741334113942552952012-01-18T20:19:01.313-08:002012-01-18T20:19:01.313-08:00Oh, good, I dug it too.

I mean, it was a pretty kick-ass, experimental take on Trek, and I DID have me some frowny-face moments . . . but mostly over niggling little details.<br /><br />I rewatched (reboot) Star Trek a few months back, at home via the Netflix. Eff whatever reservations I may have had.<br /><br />LOVE that movie. Especially after checking out all the special features. And most glad to hear that J.J. Abrams and gang are hard at work on the sequel as we speak.<br /><br />The 'reboot' (wish we could call it something else, due the stigma that category carries) . . . it's a breath of fresh air that a well beaten horse corpse of a franchise desperately needed. <br /><br />Trek needed . . . to be reinvented WITHOUT being ruined. Respecting the source material without being constrained by it.<br /><br />I think they achieved that. Yes. I digs the new Trek. MOOAAARRR! I sez.<br /><br />;)Hyla Tracy IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316185162682308156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375691158383831389.post-69163717462322423472012-01-18T19:54:00.454-08:002012-01-18T19:54:00.454-08:00I forget, did you ever say if you liked, or hated ...I forget, did you ever say if you liked, or hated the new Reboot Trek?Diacanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546351653341768549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375691158383831389.post-84241801497402867102012-01-18T16:55:40.535-08:002012-01-18T16:55:40.535-08:00Star Trek 4; The Voyage Home.

That was MY first real Trek experience too. <br /><br />I mean, I KNEW about Star Trek, possibly had run across bits of the animated version, had seen images and all, was familiar with the terminology, characters, the shtick. You couldn't have grown up in this country at the end of the 20th century and not.<br /><br />But seeing that movie in the theaters that summer with my little brother and old man was my first time actually watching anything Trek related. It was friggin' great! <br /><br />'Captain! There be whales here!'<br /><br />They were all great in that flick, but Doohan's bits still crack me the fuck up. Love that movie.<br /><br />Although . . .

I still chuckle every time I hear Captain Styles (the perfectly cast James Sikking) asking "Bridge, this is the captain. How can you have a yellow alert in Spacedock?"Paladinnoreply@blogger.com
