    Enjoyed this week’s Star Trek visit..Saw Star Trek Into Darkness on Thursday night. … It is a fun movie. And without giving spoilers…. the 3D effect was good and worth getting the clunky glasses. .Yes. I am a purist for Star Trek – I recognise ‘canon’. But Abrams – with his first outing with Star Trek – changed the game. So anything goes. The only canon you need to know about Star Trek is that friends will always find each other. Heroes will always be heroes. And Villains will always do villainous things. (I don’t thing that spoiler-ish, is it?)

    @ChessPirate… you do realize that Hollywood is where it started, don’t you?

    I agree with the dog, I think the TNG-era dress uniform is best. The first ones, not the one with the white coat.

    Yes, I thought you were referring to the “reboots”.

    Very true. At first, I didn’t like TNG much, what with Riker always putting his leg up on stuff to show what a he-man he was and all of the “sciencey” buzz words they were using. It grew on me though, mainly because of the performances of Brent Spiner and Patrick Stewart. And they did have some good scripts too. DSN I liked mostly for the comedy(Quark and Odo). The Voyager scripts got inexplicably better after Seven of Nine joined the cast. I thought “Enterprise” was a good try, but a bit weak. I go along with that saying that the even-numbered movies were better than the odd-numbered ones except I liked III too. And I’ve already given my opinion of the reboots.

    The first season only, I think. After that, it became one hokey monster after another.

    sigh… @ChessPirate… my point was that it’s fiction, and until such time when YOU write the screenplay, the story can go anywhere the current writer/director/producer/filmmaker/anyone-else-involved wants to take it. Regardless whether you like it or not. …It’s entertainment, and it’s all right if you don’t like it. But some of us like it for the entertainment value alone, and not the history lesson that you take it to be.

    Reminds me of the idiot woman from Arkansas (IIRC) who wore her NG uniform everywhere — complete with phaser II stuck in the pocket. She even showed up for jury duty thus attired (and “armed”). Got tossed for contempt. I like Trek, have always liked Trek (when we got married, my wife and I selected Pfaltzgraff’s “Enterprise” pattern as our china service — had to settle for the stoneware, though). But that’s going way the crank too far.

    I like that word. I’ll have to add it to my vocabulary.

    @ChessPirate… I apologize for sounding like I was making it personal. I wasn’t. I just don’t understand when people get so up in arms about a form of entertainment. It’s supposed to entertain us, not make us implode because the story doesn’t follow where we think it should go. I honestly don’t care a whit about Star Trek canon. It’s up to me to enjoy the movie, or not enjoy it. I didn’t write the story; I am just the end user. …So, when the story takes a turn in a direction we don’t like, we can always stop watching. Griping about it doesn’t do any good unless we (a generalization) have the power to make changes. And unless you (a generalization) are the writer, the only thing you can do is like it, hate it, or be indifferent to it. …I liked the Star Trek reboot. I enjoyed the action. But that’s just me.

    that’s what I meant about the 3D for ST Into Darkness. It was used well and appropriately. It made some scenes so cool.
