About the new movie. Spoilers galore.
Speaking of Star Trek, Lauri Davis posted this last night about the new movie. Spoilers galore. And it takes no Klingon prisoners.

Heh. Thanks for that link. I'm sure I enjoyed that more than I would the flick.
I was of TOS era. 1970s, in the tube pit at the frat house, M-F we had Madison and Chicago stations on cable, with re-runs at 5:00, 5:30, & 6:00. True tribal politics on whether to switch channels halfway through.
Kinda ironic that when Next Gen began we were living in Chicago, the antenna barely got - often didn't get - the UHF station it was on, and cable in our area was being held up because Chicago graft. Missed much of the first two seasons.
Liked Next Gen, but I think I never finished the last season. DS9 was interesting, especially to compare with its inspiration, B5. Never really got into Voyager or whatever it was. Watched all the movies up to the last one or two. Never watched Enterprise - greatest opening credit sequence ever, and as a Okie, I liked it that it opened with Klingons in Okla. But I couldn't help seeing it as an extended Quantum Leap episode.... that guy!
So I did see New Trek 1. siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Never again. Not one red cent will ever again flow from me to the Downdumber Ripoffskis of Roddenberry. Toby McGuire dancing Peter Parker Trek.
Since New Trek is actually all in an alternate universe, there is hope that the future re-re-boot will revert to the original, and the reboots can be forgotten like the Star Wars Christmas Special or the never-released first Fantastic Four movie or It's About Time.
Rant mode off. Everybody moved on, yet?
