(...Thank goodness they are NOT writing Episode VII. (Still can't get over saying that "title.") Haven't seen ST:ID yet but am disappointed the villain is named Khan. Feels tagged on for nostalgia.

I agree with your comments about the movie, and it's sad how blatantly cynical Hollywood is about being able to get away with, if not outright celebrating, bad screenwriting.

"Bones" McCoy isn't utilized nearly as well as he should be. You mentioned Sulu not getting enough love, but my favorite character of the whole series (even into the new films) is Bones.<br /><br />And honestly I am not a fan of the Spock/Uhura thing. Just... not. No. Nope. Ut uh. mylittlegeekeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862659550865655060noreply@blogger.com
