Space, the Final Frontier ...

Eeeeeee!

The night before last I went with my friend, Caroline, to see the new Star Trek movie. So, I'm going to repeat that fan-girl screech again:

Eeeeeeee!

I really liked it. It was dubbed into German, so the voices were oddly mismatched, but I still liked it. Really briefly, it's an parallel universe origin story (well, something like that) of the characters from the original series - you know, Captain Kirk and Spock. For the casual watcher (Caroline) it was easy enough to follow. For the less-casual watcher (me), it was delightful to see how they handled each of the characters as younger versions of themselves. I kept leaning over to her and saying, "Oh, that's so-and-so. They do this and that in the TV series ... Oh, look!" I'm sure it was annoying, but I couldn't help myself. Anyway, long story short, I recommend the movie. Eeeee!

PS: I love Spock(s). I love old Spock, new Spock, and all parallel possible Spocks. It's pon farr time, baby! Rawr!
