We saw Star Trek last night and, though I will not spoil, I will say I loved it. I was a long time viewer of the original series when I was but a wee thing, and I think they did a fabulous job with all of the characters. I’m a leeetle wary of Simon Pegg’s Scotty, who’s got a flavour of slapstick that reminds one of Jar Jar Binks in a bad way, but I suspect this is more related to scarring from That Shitty Movie and less to do with Star Trek itself.
I will say that I had forgotten that my very first celebrity crush was Spock, and the new guy playing him was so very, very Spock-like that I am a dizzy schoolgirl in love all over again. I’ve always had a soft spot for the stern, intense types – which perhaps explains Husband rather well!
Anyway, I will probably go see it again and I think you should see it too. Very enjoyable!
