Final Frontier Reboot

By Thoreau

Non-spoiler spoilers:

1)  Kirk will hook up with a green chick.

2)  The guy in the red outfit will die.

3)  Spock will realize that some decisions are better made on the basis of a mix of logic and feeling, rather than pure logic.

It was a fun 2 hours.  Not being seriously invested in Star Trek, I don’t have much commentary on whether it’s a worthy addition to the series.  I just enjoyed watching it.

    Vulcans… 40 years, and they still haven’t learned the difference between being illogical, and being irrational.

    I know that’s you, Spock. Quit being so damned emotional! :)

    Ah, Vulcan, an entire planetary culture based on a freshman week argument about whether math concentrators were “repressing” or “sublimating” primal human urges.

    1) By the time Kirk kicks the bucket ca. 2400 CE, the galaxy is going to be littered with pale green bastards having funny appendages and bloated waistlines.

    2) Starfleet will have great trouble recruiting guys to wear red outfits by the end of Kirk’s career. Negotiations will be underway with the Dominion to produce clones to fill the gap.

    3) Spock will be the subject of endless crybaby jokes on Vulcan.
