So, as some or all of you may know, I've been pretty anti-Star Trek. I saw the promos, with the explosions and the fighting and the cars, and I said, "Double-You. Tee. Eff. That is not Star Trek."
However, due to recent events on Heroes, it occurred to me that these new Trek movies becoming a franchise and thus taking Zach Quinto away from Heroes would be beneficial to me.
So, off I went this evening to see this atrocity. I sat myself down in the theater, stared glumly at the previews, and said, "Go on, J.J. Just go on. Destroy my childhood."
...
But.
Um, guys?
I loved it.
It was adorable, it was in the spirit of Trek in spite of the vicious promos, it was just fun. And also, they tied it into the canon of the real universe in an awesome, twisty, scifi-ish, time-travelish way that just made me go, "Dude. That... is so cool."
I wanna see it again, and not just to contribute another ten bucks to the Save Nathan fund.
In fact, I'm looking forward to the next one, where they'll actually be freer to develop the characters and feel less need for constant in-jokes (which were fun, btw, but I want to see what this group can do on their own power).
So basically... I take it back. I'm a happy former Trekkie. And I kind of love Kirk. How'd that happen?
(FYI, most of the time, Quinto was almost eerily similar to young Nimoy, but every time Spock got cranky or started going on about his mommy issues, he totally turned into Sylar, and those moments were bizarre and disturbing.)
ETA: Also? Simon Pegg. SIMON FREAKING PEGG, OMG. But where was his boyfriend??
