Star Trek Prime Spock

As I have talked about before on this blog, I love Star Trek. I am a huge fan and have been so for about twenty years. Probably my favorite part of the new Star Trek movie was the appearance by old friend Leonard Nimoy who really delivered for me with his performance despite his advanced age. I really like seeing Spock (Prime) interact with Kirk (2.0) and it just made for a lot of good fun.

Of course there were questions. But I have realized that this new Star Trek is not going to be about hard line scifi it is going to be about adventure and intrigue plain and simple. So viewing it in that light I did not have much of a problem with the way that they handled the character or the techniques that they used in explaining the time travel element of the story. All in all, I enjoyed Leonard Nimoy quite a bit in the new Star Trek.

What did you think? Did you enjoy another visit from Old Spock in Star Trek?

Waiting for more Star Trek News

Okay, so here is what I am hearing as far as the next Star Trek movie goes. First the writers, the same guys who wrote Star Trek (2009) are bandying ideas around for the script. They probably are even at the stage where they have written an outline for the new movie. And I admit I do have a lot of faith in these guys after they delivered so marvelously on Star Trek. However, some other things do give me pause?

I am hearing that it is completely possible that Khan may be brought back to life to star in the next movie! I can't say that I think that this is good news. I believe that Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was one of the best Star Trek films ever made and I think they should leave well enough alone on this one.

What do you think? Should Khan be in the next Star Trek movie?

I love Star Trek

I love Star Trek. Okay, I admit that that statement may make me a little bit dorky but I am prepared to accept it. Sure my Star Trek fever had been dieing down after Star Trek: Nemesis sucked the last breaths of life out of my Trekkieness, and I gave up being a Trekkie for a while. But, once J.J. Abrams got his hands on the USS Enterprise I knew Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and friends were coming back in a big way.

I have seen the movie three times and I am totally stoked about the DVD release in the fall. I am hearing great things about the features that the DVD will have and I can't say that I have ever been more excited for a Star Trek DVD release.

If you are just as excited as me leave a comment!
