Wonderings in Reality

So I saw the Star Trek movie last night! Woohoo!!! Ended up babbling my ear off to the head projectionist about the various eras of Trek and how TOS wasn't actually the first one and there was this guy called Pike and OMG don't you know the Borg were more badass when they first came along before the Federation started beating them all the time and about Q shoving the Enterprise into that first cube's path and then time travel and how the Borg let their kin know of earth during the time of Archer and....

One long babble.


In any case, after sufficiently bewildering said head projectionist (with the aide of a co-worker of mine who though not actually a Trekker does know his stuff) we went int to watch it in two groups, me and him in one screen and the others in another screen that started about five/ten minutes later. And it was good. Loved it, I really did (though granted I would not be the best film critic in the industry) and I loved it for what it is. The actors are not the original actors but they still fit into their roles rather well.

In short a GREAT film that I love and adore it. It isn't exactly the same as the original but how could it be? To expect that would be foolish. It is what it is, a new Trek movie with new actors playing characters and relationships we're already familiar with in an era before we knew them. And though there will always be things in it that I'm not happy with and every person will have their own sticking points....

Loved it.

Hello all!

Or more like hello anybody who accidentally gets on here - I've just opened this account and want to get this first post out of the way so I can see how to format things and such. I'm rather excited about this place because it could be fantastic and who knows, fandom may move here after it finally run from LiveJournal as it has for the past few years.

Just got back from work, oh joy. Outside right thigh hurts when I walk or go up/down stairs which is yay fun but thankfully so much interesting stuff happened to make up for it. I wish. Need to get a new job some time, hopefully in a library or similar.
