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!

Aww, poor Vader... he looks so adorably sad. :D

Indeed, the world has gone topsy-turvy. I love Star Wars, but the whole universe with its myriad movies, TV shows, books, comics, video games, etc. has become so bloated and overdone that at this point what the saga needs most is to be taken out and quietly put to sleep.

Q: How many Transformers fans does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Eight. One to change it, and the rest to complain that the light bulb was so much better back in the 80s.

I support well-written, in-character fanfic!

What crappy TV show?

I thought Star Trek was wonderful!
It totally washed the horrid stench of X-Men Origins: Wolverine outta my brain.
Uhura did her part. As did Chekov, Scotty and Bones.
their parts were small, but that's to be expected, as the movie was about Kirk and Spock.

I spent the movie's length staring slack-jawed at the screen.

I like watching alternative realities/time lines anyway, so this movie was pretty much perfect for me.

That's what George Lucas gets, I guess.

I agree with ya there! Great movie, but still the stuff it did to Star Trek itself... One could guess they might do the same with the sequel series and introduce Young Picard, Sisko and Janeway, or even make more Classic Trek and maybe have Khan, possibly.
I also thought Kirk, Spock and McCoy were spot-on, and Simon Pegg as Scotty was hilarious (the idea of his casting amused me when I first heard of it)
