Yeah seeing it Sunday. Hope they revamp the series but expectations are low. Waiting for Terminator to come out to really satiate my geekdom.

Loved the first three Star Wars episodes and hated the prequels.
I'm in for seeing it when I get a chance to

Ok, Susan and I went to see it last night. I thought it was pretty decent. There are some inconsistencies with previous story lines from the series and movies but I get the feeling that it's intentional (time travel is involved) and they are setting up future movies. Definitely worth seeing.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Can someone explain why all of engineering looked like a brewery? I mean Scotty was a heavy drinker but that reference was a bit over done.
I did like that they killed off a red shirt the moment he hit the platform, that was funny.

Everyone knows there are two things that all good Start Trek Original Series stories must have in the storyline. First, someone in a red shirt always dies on an away mission and second Kirk must have sex with a green Orion chic.
This is common knowledge.

Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "undocumented pharmacist"
Yeah I noticed the same thing. Why is there a water turbine on the damn ship? Quite the visual dichotomy from the bridge to engineering...perhaps it was done on purpose, who knows.
Not too bad, especially if you take it as the start of a new franchise. Lots of character introduction, not much depth, superficial plot lines etc.
And the Enterprise looks stupid. Bring back the -A refit damnit.
Add: Looks like people like it, 76.2 mil for the opening weekend.

That water turbine thing remaindered me of that scene in that Star Trek knock off movie with Tim Allen, (Can’t remember the name) where him a Sigourney Weaver where trying to get through that chopper thing. They stated there was no reason for it just bad script writer’s trying to make drama.

Wow... I can't believe I'm about to geek out like this but...
The Enterprise would be toast.
Too small to defeat the Death Star and all its firepower...
HOWEVER... in the Star Trek Universe...
The Doomsday Device could likely do some massive devastation upon the Death Star and likely withstand any/all Imperial method of attack (I don't think they'd have figured out to suicide a capital ship into the maw of the device)...
Likewise I believe the Borg cube(s) would have DEFINITELY been able to overcome and assimilate the ENTIRE Death Star and all its crew into the collective...
Which would have made for one BIG MOTHER HUMPER of a collective!
Intermixing the universes...
Not knowing a lot about LEXX, Farscape, or some of those...
I think the best chances for single civilization destruction of the Death Star would have had to come from Babylon 5 Universe in either the Vorlon planet destroyer mega-ship... or the Shadow Planet Destroyer cloud....
Neither would have been vulnerable to legitimate sustained attack (Vorlon being adaptive bio-tech that absorbs energy and physical attack; Shadow being a giant cloud --- how do you attack a cloud?) and would have been able to take out the Death Star in a matter of a few minutes of priming and activation time.
...Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

When I ask a girl to dance I always look for the one with the yo-yo in her pants!
Not sure I agree with you on that one.
If Starfleet was able to brut force destroy a full sized Brorg Cube in First Contact, I don’t think one could hold up much better against a Death Star and its collective arsenal, assimilation or not. And if the Death Star got off one shot with its main weapon, kiss that cube goodbye and everything around it.
I do think the Borgs only means of winning would be through assimilation, but that would have to be started through some covert action in order to get Borg aboard the station. And I have never seen the collective do anything that I would consider covert. They seemed to prefer a straight forward attack style.
Geek on...

Wow...do you guys do those conventions?
Wearing costumes of Vulcans and Klingons?
Do you do the Society of Creative Anachronism too? I love to watch those in the park.

That would be Klingon... sheesh...
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Isn't your diaper full, Mrs. AARP?
