I must admit…I was never a big Star Trek fan. I mean, I watched it, but I can take or leave the majority of Treks. My favorite was Deep Space Nine. You know, the one where they didn’t actually trek anywhere because they were on a space station.
I do tend to see each of the movies, which range from great (Wrath of Kahn, First Contact) to fun (Voyage Home) to boring (Motion Picture, Search for Spock) to absolutely horrid (The Final Frontier, Insurrection). It’s been announced that J.J. Abrams is directing the next film.
Sounds exciting right? The creator of Alias, one of the creators of Lost, director of the best of the M:I films. But then there is the subject. It’s not a Next Gen movie. So what are we getting? Maybe a Deep Space 9 movie? Nope. Voyager? Nope. Enterprise? Not quite. It’s annoying enough they felt the need to jump back instead of forward for that.
But now we are jumping back to the original crew…kind of. It’s about Kirk and Spock in Star Fleet Academy. Now, I never got the impression that they were academy buds. I got the impression that the crew of the Enterprise met on the enterprise. But I am not a Trekkie. So hashing out the possible historical innacuracies should be left to people who know what they are talking about.
Frankly, Paramount just needs to get their inevitable disrespect of their cash cow to the logical total lack of creativity point they are moving towards. Star Trek Babies. Believe it.
So, apparently, we are looking at near two feet of snow. It’s been falling heavy and contunuously since about eleven A.M. I guess my parents picked the right time to go to Mexico.
