Spoiler much?

Karl Urban's character was overdone because he's tough guy bad ass trying to be nerdy quirky doctor, and although i admire his impression of deforest kelley, he's just not the same Bones.
I actually thought he was one of the best parts, did a fantastic job IMO.

That, and the Romulans in their little temper tantrum, wiped out the Vulcans, which are a huge part of the Federation, killed Kirk's dad, killed off Spock's mother--WHO MAKES A FUCKING APPEARANCE IN THE ORIGINAL FILMS EXCUSE ME--i could see killing her if she never made an appearance, but she did; then they wiped out the Klingons, who are one of the most frequent villains to the Federation, then Kirk in his infinite "bad-assness" wipes out the Romulans, yet ANOTHER frequent villain of the series
*sigh*
Select to view spoiler:
Kirk only wiped out the Romulans that came through the black hole, not the entire species. I also believe that the Kligons were not wiped out, I think there was something mentioned about a Klingon prison. And again, in this universe none of the stuff that happened in the original movies happened....kinda. So it doesn't matter weather Spocks mom was in one of the movies or fucking Kirk for the entire series. New timeline means new canon.

The highlight of the film was Scottie, but he unfortunately wasn't in the film for that long as he made a very late entrance *sigh*
Tihs I agree with, I thought Simon Pegg was brilliant as Scottie.

my brother agreed, it really just destroyed what was a great series & collection of films. I mean, if you're not familiar with the original star trek, and you saw this star trek, you'd think that's what the original star trek was all about, and it totally isn't. A trekkie, or even just someone who's seen the films and original series, would watch this and go, "um.....no. wrong." they were basically trying to appeal to a new audience with this one, and it made me sad. I didn't really want to see it in the first place, but the bro did, knowing it definitely wouldn't measure up to the originals, and though we're not trekkies (maaaybe closet trekkies, considering we were upset with what Abrams did with this, but then again i get upset when *any* franchise is ruined by an attempt to resurrect a genre/classic) we were pretty bummed. was it good? as a stand-alone, non-affiliated with star trek (i wish) it was a good action flick, even though the individual scenes were better than the whole IMO. ><;;
I am by no means a trekkie, but I am a fan of the series and more than a bit familiar and I loved the new film. There's a thin line with remakes, and I think this one got it right. I am quite looking forward to more movies.

Ah, I see.
I think I have to take tex;s side of the 'enjoyable movie' vs. 'not accurate at all' type thing. I do tend to be a purist sometimes, and, well....
Anyways, http://www.pandora.com/ is TOTALLY AWESOME! I've already fallen in love with two bands I've discovered on there...

Sorry for the bad reception, but I AM posting from NZ, the earthly equivalent of a mudders village. I'm completely jealous of y'all up there on the opposite hemisphere, what with your warm weather and your iced teas and such. All I can get lately is mudders milk.
Helluva long thread this one. Beer for me please, barwench/barfulla. Babys belong where they are loved, that decision (see waaay above) to take it away when it was doing so well is plain stupid. Star Trek was great, and even though it was much different it still honoured the originals just fine. Can't be too picky, it IS supposed to be entertainment. Terminator? Err...well...it hasn't arrived down these parts yet. Transmission has been slow since the demise of Mr U-- err, you know who. Shame about the cancellatoin of TSCC though...(And before anyone tries to soften the blow by mentioning Doll House...it hasn't hit NZ TV yet. Sadly, the only way I could see it is the naughty way.torrent)
Nice place you got here...any jobs going? (Polishes a glass with a rag...)

'Ello, monkey! Yeah, this forum doesn't divide threads up, so they'll get really long and whenever they get to be unwieldy, we'll create new ones... Sorry about you not having good tv without torrent (though if that's the way you have to get stuff, use it! If the legalized version isn't getting provided to ya, then it's the producer/whoever's own damn fault for not providing it to ya anyways! XD) Wouldn't know about any job opps, you'd have to speak to everyone else...
-slides an iced tea over your way, along with the pitchers of sugar and honey and milk- Dunno what ya like, so...

It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

0.o
Seriously?
Wow, I doubt very much that scenery being beautiful is a plus in the cold MSA.... Trust me on this one
Sup peeps!
I am back (hopefully) on my work out schedule so I am starting to feel a little normal again! Yay!
Oh and it looks like my *grand city is going to have a Con!! While i will most definatly be yet again missing out on D*C I will at least be able to wear my Jayne hat at a con anyway. Maybe I will grow a goatee for it too.......

G'mornin' MsA! Hope you and Peanut are doing well. *hugs* (I love that you call the lil one Peanut. My friend referred to here lil one as the McNugget. ^^)
Quote:You're not going to D*C makes me very very sad. :( But if you promise to take a pic of you at the local Con, with the Jayne hat AND the goatee I may be able to smile a bit.

And yay for you having some normalcy and being here! *GLOMP*Hello everyone! Hope all is well and shiny in your areas.
I haven't slept for 2 days, people. This is not good! I've been downing Bawls (*dirty laugh*) and Red Bull Cola just to function. But I have been catching up on some reading and shows that I've been wanting to see so all is not lost! And I gotta say, True Blood is all kinds of awesome. ^^
Oh and before I post this, to Tex (and I will not bother quoting what was said because it just makes me angry), as a Trekkie and a child of Trekkies I in fact loved the movie and so did my parents. We left there with smiles on our faces, it's been a long time since I've left a movie feeling like that. I could punch a million lil holes into all of what you thought was wrong with the movie, but I won't dignify it with a response. All I have to say is please don't tell someone to not see something just because you have bad opinions. I, for one, go see a movie and judge it on my own merits, and that has opened myself to many awesome movies other people told me were utter crap. So try to keep it to "I didn't like in, myself" period, and save your unfounded ranting for an actual Star Trek discussion thread or forum, thank you muchly.
Ok, I've said my piece. Who wants cake?
apparently lil sleep makes me quite mouthy. totally living up to my "Mean Lil Asian Girl" nickname right now, hehe...

DFTBA ^^
