Yanno, I hate to say this, but thankfully I can get away with it cause I am half ploshed on brandy and headed for three sheets to the wind in a hurry...
You know what REALLY made some of the movies/episodes, as opposed to the amusement of Shatners scenery chewing glory ?
SHIP PR0N!
Seriously, does not the long slow pans of the ships add a glorious factor, especially on the big screen ?
And the interiors just touch it up, don't they ?
And combined with some seriously awesome soundtracks, especially Horners work, the acting is almost an afterthought!
I refer to you to what I consider hands down THE most awesome scene in trek, and with this in mind, note how the Ship Pr0n and Audio Score frames and enhances the truly masterful chemistry between Montalban and Shatner.
Complete with obligatory evil overlord gloating!
And gettin kicked in the teeth for it!
While I don't hold out much hope for the pretty-boy cast, formula-matic "acting" and obligatory wangsty crap (which Kirk never truly suffered from a single day in his entire freakin life!) I do plan to throw the bills at it and see it on the big screen for the very reasons detailed above.
In vino, veritas, folks - cause it ain't a bunch of boy-band rejects imma be goin there to see, righty-O ?

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

On February 17, 2009- Paramount announced the Season 1 of TOS on Blu Ray for a May release to coincide with the new feature film coming from Paramount.[27] It was rumoured that with the Remastered versions on this release, the original versions will also be included. It's suspected Seasons 2 and 3 will follow.

I dunno, HKC, the only thing ever so consistent about James T Kirk was his unshakeable certainty that he was always right, usually in combination with an out and out legendary arrogance.
Which, of course, was part of his charm.
I honestly don't think the man was even capable of much more than a brief period of vague uncertainty, usually lasting mere minutes, if that.
I'm pretty sure the guy was incapable of whiny angst.

Oh yeah, just for giggles, THIS.

Look what they did to
That logic might hold better if it hadn't alrerady been redesigned a few times.
Personally, I like this design.
