...

Whoa, hold on, wait a minute... there's a new Star Trek movie?!

Okay, seriously though... i haven't seen it yet. But maybe it's time to just make this a Spoiler thread. I'm starting to feel like i need a security clearance to read everyone's posts.

when Kirk runs away from the creature into the ice cave, a whole lot of "he's gonna run into Frozen Luke and the Wompa stuff" popped into my head.

When the creature was first approaching, I thought, "Man, JJ can't keep away from his polar bears."

Then when Kirk was saved by Nimoy popping up out of nowhere, I thought, "A Deus Ex Spockina!"

And whenever the great Mr. Pegg was on screen, my mind started going through names such as "Scotty of the Dead", "Scott Fuzz", "Run Scottboy Run", "How To Lose Friends and Alienate Scotty", and, of course, "Scotted".

This all goes to prove that I'm not nearly as funny as I think I am.

Oh I don't know.  "Run Scottboy Run" would be perfect for when he's rushing through the engine room around the "I'm givin' her all she's got" line.  Made me laugh.   

I don't think mine even warrants a spoiler tag:

At one point someone stated that they were on "a collision course" and I couldn't help but say aloud "A collision course with WACKINESS!!!"

I got popcorn thrown at me.

I will probably Netflix the movie.    I was never a big fan of TOS star trek, but I loved TNG star trek, so there!

I was a TNG fan far more than TOS... my dad was big on TOS.  We both thoroughly enjoyed the movie.

That's promising!

I got started by getting hooked on TNG myself, then I latched onto the movie series.  Never quite liked TOS as much, but some of the episodes I'll consider true classics.

Not only is Rosebud a sled, but Uhura is actually a man.

And Spock is made of chocolate.

Dr. Who, I salute you for being able to admit you were hasty in your initial impressions of this film.  Because of that, I won't disrespect you by saying "I told you so".  I'm just glad you were able to put away your misgivings and enjoy the film for what it was.

[bettertomorrowamy]

A salute you Doctor Who.  You've been my rock through all of these trying Star Trek times.

Shatner's cameo... or what it would've been

JJ Abrams previously revealed that he couldn't include William Shatner in the new "Star Trek" film, because he couldn't find a way to bring back a dead Kirk. Instead, he offered Shatner a cameo, but Shatner turned it down, stating that he wanted a larger role. But what kind of cameo would it have been?

io9 chatted with writers Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman and asked him just that. "We had a scene with Shatner," said Orci. "We wrote it, it was in the script."

SPOILERS AHEAD:

Kurtzman revealed: "The very last scene when Spock and Spock meet each other, finally. And elder Spock is convincing young Spock that he couldn't interfere, because it would have diverted [Kirk and Spock] away from their friendship. And that their friendship is the key to the whole sort of shebang. He [elder Spock] said, 'Don't take my word for it.' And he handed him [younger Spock] a little holographic device and it projected Shatner. It was basically a Happy Birthday wish knowing that Spock was going to go off to Romulus, and Kirk would probably be dead by the time."

Orci added: "It turned into a voiceover, at the end of the movie."

Sounds OK enough, and would have worked for what it was.

The problem with resurrecting Kirk is that is something that would probably need it's own story and not a two line mention in the background.

Dr. Who, I salute you for being able to admit you were hasty in your initial impressions of this film.  Because of that, I won't disrespect you by saying "I told you so".  I'm just glad you were able to put away your misgivings and enjoy the film for what it was.

Yeah thanks.

I think I was just in shock because as long as I could remember Star Trek has been one of my favorite shows and they went and replace some of my heroes from when I was a kid.

Also there are so many ways that Hollywood could mess something like this up.

I am glad this turned out great and I plan to go back to see it again next week.

I've seen Walter Koenig talking about when he first heard about TNG coming out and he was pissed because it would ruin TOS then he became a huge fan.

While it looks good from the trailer, I watched the actor that's portraying Sulu say:
That the villain of the movie is attacking the planet Vulcan  With a Giant Drill!
