Star Trek May 8th

[Sage]

I'll be honest. I'm not a Trekkie, although I do greatly enjoy the show whenever it happens to be on, regardless of episode (and someone series). I haven't seen any of the previous movies. I know this is a "reboot".

This movie looks fucking amazing, and I'm going to definitely see it. From what I DO know of the characters, it seems to be very well done of an adaptation. I'm hyped about it, and not just over the "Syler = Spock" thing. That opening scene with him doing the XTREME stuff and then later going to the Enterprise as it was being built, it was visually extravagant and still true to the point (of what I know of the characters).

If ANYONE is going to whine about someone "ruining their favorite ____", it would be Trekkies, as they still fight and debate to rationalize every single loophole and physics impossibility that exists in every one of the old series, similar to a comic fan that refuses to realize why they wrote half the shit off as "alternate universes/ages". So to me, the absolute silence coming from them speaks louder than words about it.

TOS was retarded. That people try to defend it still is hilarious.
