Status : Offline | What did you think of his doctor telling him to sleep on the floor for his sciatica so he has no bed? Mine is playing up at the moment but no one has told me to ditch the bed - and a good thing too. I wouldn't listen. I thought what he'd achieved was wonderful but what a dimbo - he thought Trekkies would want to live like that and hire him to do it for them. What? Does he think we can't tell the difference between a TV show and real life? [smiley=crazy.gif]
PS I hated the black kitchen with lights on the floor. God, how annoying would that be?

Status : Offline | Saw the flick last weekend. Wonderful storytelling as to how Kirk managed to become the captain of the Enterprise.
That was always the part I had trouble figuring out. How did that young and handsome white anglo-saxon man manage to become the top cheese of that ship over the black female communications officer, the Russian and Asian deckhands with weird names, the Scotsman who stays down in the engine room, the alien with the pointy ears, and the grumpy and over-the-hill Irishman?

Status : Offline | Now we know why Anthony doesn't write movie reviews for the newspapers....
Subject came up in class today. Teacher disliked the design of Captn. Nero's ship. Also she said the only reason old Spock is in the movie is he has a contract with the studio insisting his character cannot be used without him. Hmmm.... she claims that is the reason for the whole 'alternative time line' aspect of the story.
I think the alternative time line device allowed them to reinvent the entire saga - almost but not quite following the Original Series as we know it. This time line universe has a different start to the Federation than the one we know.
...er... which kind of means .... is this a different set or simply the real set of people with a different future? Hmmm.... these time loop thingies always did fry my brain.

Personally I'm not at all convinced that the time continuum of the fabric of the universe is half as fragile as some people make out.....
