stardate: 63150.6 (corrisponds with the reposting of the blog and please to all my fellow nerds out there I hope I got this right), Bloggers log... it seems with my partner out of commission due to this earth disease called Swine flu the need to publish something for the week has fallen on my shoulders.... it seems there is no origianal thought in me this week so I have chosen to reblog... and while I do not think Starfleet or the Federation would approve of my blatant re-posting and it is not against the Prime Directive in any way... I must give you my apologies reader for this is not normally my way.... but I was detained in the sickbay from midnight till 7 in the morning (YES 7 IN THE FUCKING MORNING FREAKING ER ASSHOLE DORCTORS) last night and simple chose to be lazy....ok joking aside ....
As I have previously mentioned the theme of this week is Star Trek, and boy do I enjoy the stories (not the books most of those I find to be trash), plots might be a better word... though the original series even with the new work done on it is.... cheesy at the best of times... still the stories are interesting, especially when one considers the time it was made (1966ish I think)... Like the episode with the aliens with black and white faces, that's a good one... or the episode titled The Trouble With Tribbles... that one is just funny and adorable ^.^ But despite how cheesy and kinda janky the episodes are, they are worth checking out, especially if your interested in pop culture references or film (because boy howdy are there a lot of referances that make sense once you've seen ST:TOS).
Now on to the new movie.... can I say spectacular (or type as it may be), it blew my expectations out of the water and into the next galaxy... not that I really walked in there with any so anywho... Zachary Quinto nails the role Spock![both Aria and I are big Quinto fans, we saw Inglorious Bastards last week, and were very happy] Chris Pine also does an awesome job as Cpt. Kirk! The special effects kinda kick ass as well! I don't have enough praise for this movie... and I thought it was very smart making it in an alternate reality so all the original trekkies and geeks don't get their superhero themed panties in a bunch(no offense meant to anyone >.>). That way things that are not original cannon (like Nero destroying Vulcan or that odd ... relationship... between Spock and Lt. Uhura (though they are friendly in the series they are far from the version in the new movie ...but hey I guess the action flick needed some romance.... oh well)
oh.. I know I said I had nothing but praise but I do have one issue... WHY IN GOD'S NAME DID BONES HAVE SUCH A SMALL PART.... in the original series he had as large a part as Spock and only Kirk had a larger part than them.. also he never said the phrase "he's dead Jim" in the movie and it's in so many episodes I figured they would pull at least one joke about it, that was just kinda sad......oh and for those like me, who simple adore Bones check out this twitter called FMLMcCoy it can be really funny...(i.e. Stuck on planet Rome– Jim is forced to spend the night with a gorgeous slave girl, I'm forced to sleep in a cage with a testy vulcan. FML).... okay done for now
