I couldn’t help myself. I had to write about the new Star Trek movie. http://tinyurl.com/pjm266 (via @jgamet)

I enjoyed it very much. Great reboot. I loved that the storyline allows any further stories to contradict what we saw in the original TV show (plus films), so characters can be put in jeopardy. JJA didn’t break into your house and steal your Star Trek DVDs, so if you want your Kirk paunchy and your Chekov Beatle-wigged, you can still have that.

I wasn’t mad about Scotty being played entirely for laughs, but that’s a minor gripe. A bigger one is a plot point that hinges on a coincidence that Douglas Adams’s Infinite Improbability Drive might not have managed.

But I look forward to more Trek films that are in the spirit of the oldTV series. Let’s boldly go.
