Hola
- I think I ship Spock/Uhura if only for the sake of their arguments. XD FUNNIEST EVER.
- I love how the entire crew is basically "shut up, Kirk." XD
- Cumber was really good. Khan is the nastiest piece of shit ever, but I think he made an interesting character out of him. He wasn't exactly sympathetic, but you could see where he was coming from. And it wasn't too sympathetic (e.g. Snape), but at the same time it wasn't the stereotypical insane villain either (BBC Moriarty or TOS Khan). It was all much more subtle and I've not seen a villain exactly like that before. Kudos to the writing and the acting.
- That is probably the most crying in a Star Trek movie/episode ever. Every other scene someone's crying. MWAH.
- I both liked and was frustrated by the round and round revenge cycle. I'm hoping that was the point - that the act of revenge will just spin and spin and never solve a thing.
- I'm not quite sure why some die-hard fans thought this was the worst Star Trek thing to ever exist. I know some people were irked about the whole Khan race issue, but other than that this was a pretty good flick. Started a bit slow I guess, but other than that. Maybe because it twists every piece of TOS canon? Of course to me that's what a good AU does. Reimagined/rebooted things that just tell the same exact thing over and over don't typically hold much interest to me.
Of course, I'm a big fan of the new Marple stories as well - the ones that have re-written endings and entire stories from the originals. I know die-hard Agatha Christie fans pretty well hate the new Marple. I guess I just love it when you take from the old but make it into something new. - I had to laugh at a couple of Galaxy Quest type moments when it came to the ship. OH, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH A BUTTON ON THE OTHER SIDE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY FLIPPING A SWITCH IN A RADIOACTIVE SPACE? SLIGHT DESIGN FLAW, YES? XD
- KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.
