• back to new Trek ranting =)

   

  Other sly scifi ripoffs used in new Trek.

   

  Electrical space storms-- Planet of the Apes.

   

  Robocop?

   

  I've seen two comparisons to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on other sites.

   

  I think all we're missing now is Mr. Smith and the robot from Lost in Space, and Luke, I mean, Kirk didn't use that ugly monster to keep warm on the Hoth-like frozen moon, planetoid, whatever the heck that was that still had an atmosphere and oxygen and a front row seat to Vulcan crumbling into a black hole without being at all affected.

   

  More background 'old Trek' info on the Kobayashi Maru - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, the unbeatable test that Kirk cheated on in the new movie, and thoughts on that at Kobayashi Maru.

   

  And back to Kirk's birth.  From Fun Facts About Star Trek Character, Captain James T. Kirk

  Fun Fact #16: There is actually a plaque in Riverside, Iowa that is marked as Captain Kirk's "future birthplace."  --Kinda wonder how the whole town of Riverside feels that Kirk is suddenly born out in space now.

   

   

  Another fun site to rant with.

  100 Reasons Star Trek XI Sucks

  I particularly like # 37.    Seriously, this guy is nearly as good as Crow and Servo on a little acid.  Best observation- # 70.

   

  I am having so much fun reading the foaming hate coming out over this movie, I'm actually getting excited about the sequel now.  Can they actually ~top~ this one?    You could almost make a drinking game out of watching this new Trek movie with a bunch of friends over, order in Pizza Hut and Taco Bell and KFC wings and really have a good party going.  *wiping tear*  I feel so warm and fuzzy, so at one with all my fellow die-hard Trekkies.  Nothing like a really crappy movie to bring us all together again.

   

  I love you guys.

   

  And can you imagine all the crazy Spirky youtubes that'll come out of new Trek???  haha

   

   

    I think that one pretty much says how we feel about the new direction it's going...
