If I remember, James Tiberius says to Captain Pike, "Yes, I know that . . . I read your dissertation!" I am completing my last seminar in PhD land and about to embark on dissertation.

Everyone liked it a lot, especially my teenagers, so it passed the generational test. The first time in a long time I haven't felt cheated out of my ticket price. Glad to see new young faces and fresh talent carrying on the great tradition. Loved the portrayals of all the characters, especially young Spock and Ahura! Just plain fun! Hubby and I are Trekkies and have covered Enterprise and are now doing Voyager on Netflix. So relaxing after a stressful day in the classroom!Brenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09217836341512346277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-19068879208514262102009-05-09T22:02:00.000-07:002009-05-09T22:02:00.000-07:00I call this one "Star Trek, 90219" with fresh youn...I call this one "Star Trek, 90219" with fresh young faces that the third generation since the franchises inception can enjoy.<br /><br />I'm 50 something and I LOVED it!Oscar T.

Over the past 45 years the Star Trek universe has became incredibly detailed and it is difficult to get a good slant for story telling. Abrams solves the problem by creating a new timeline, thereby introducing a new reality.<br /><br />I wonder whether we are doing the same thing in our deconstruction and reconstruction of the Bible.<br /><br />Live long and prosperAlex Tanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003300678212296112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11840313.post-47889301164668008572009-05-08T18:33:00.000-07:002009-05-08T18:33:00.000-07:00It was a surprisingly good movie.

I've found that fans of the original have a more pessimistic view of latter series than is due. <br /><br />Now to the new movie. I'm looking forward to it, but what has me worried right now is how little attention McCoy is getting. It seems they are far more focused on Uhura, while McCoy was the true third leg to Kirk and Spock (and my favorite of the original). I'll be really annoyed if they don't treat him right.Jc_Freak:https://www.blogger.com/profile/14780031497091443526noreply@blogger.com
