Star Trek has a hit movie and Star Wars has a crappy TV show... has the world gone topsy turvy?!

My thoughts on the new Trek Movie - it was awesome. Exceeded all my expectations, a great movie. But there is also sadness, since this movie also burns 40+ years of Trek history that I love. YES, the movie gives fans the bone that it's an alternative timeline and not actually changing history, but that doesn't matter. The Classic Trek universe (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY) is dead. Paramount won't be going back to it. Imagine for all you comic fans, if they had cancelled the classic Marvel Universe when they came up with Ultimate Spider-man. Ultimate Spidey is great but...I grew up with classic Marvel U and I love it, even though lately it has gotten pretty sucky.

So while this is a great movie, I will still miss the real Star Trek. The movie's not without flaws of course... Nimoy felt to me to give the weakest performance of the cast, or of his career....Uhura was a totally useless character who added nothing to the movie...and overall it was all action with no real substance or meaning. But it was so good and so much fun I can look past the problems.

Go see it if you haven't!

I LOVE this image because it sums up how I was upset when Star Wars monopolized the space genre from 1997 until 2009 and how I was so excited when the eleventh Star Trek movie was such a hit that it ended that unjust Star Wars hegemony. Yes the times are a changing as demonstrated by the shiny brand new Star Trek XI poster as opposed to the ratty old cobweb ridden Phantom Menace poster. As an atheist, I feel that Vulcan LOGIC is far superior to the metamagical "Force" used by the Jedi.

Star Trek 2009 opened up a new window of opportunity think of it as seeing the characters in a far different light.

What is said and what is done are two different things. So Don't give me any bull about forgive and forget because that phrase doesn't exist.
