Star Trek

So,

Closet Trekkie coming out of the closet! Too many closets in one sentence. I wonder how many closets I can fit in this post? But I digress! Tomorrow I am going to see this movie with all of my other crazed Trek fans, and I hope I am not dissappointed. I think they nailed some of the casting but royally screwed up on Zachary Quinto. I hate him as an actor and only hope that like Daniel Craig for Bond, I am really wrong on this. Who knows another man crush could be in the making. Spock is one of my favorite fictional characters and I shudder to think what Quinto does to him. But I think Bones will be awesome and Kirk tolerable. Either way, mock and deride me all you want! I know you are stoked toostar_trek_mirror_images!

    Wow, so Syler is suppose to be Spock, that’s a little wierd. Let us know what you think of the movie, I actually grew up watching a lot of Star Trek because my mom loved the show. And did you know that Captain Kirk was born (or I mean will be born) in IOWA! Needless to say because of that there has been alot of hype for the movie here.

    Hehe,

    That is cool. My parents watched it too. They got me hooked.

    WTF? Sylar is awesome! I love what he does with the crap the Heroes writers give him. He’s so creepy, and his voice makes me shudder, but in a good way. Besides, someone needs to know if Kirk’s watch is running a minute and half slow, right?

    Quinto is great as Sylar, but as Spock? I’m dreading it.

    Quinto as Sylar bugs the hell out of me. Maybe it has more to do with the role he’s stuck with than with his acting, but I dunno. I haven’t seen him in anything else, so I have no basis to judge.

    Then again, despite the things that annoy me about his role in Heroes, I do think he could make an excellent Spock.

The Poem

Why make so much of fragmentary blue In here and there a bird, or butterfly, Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye, When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue? Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet)— Though some savants make earth include the sky; And blue so far above us comes so high, It only gives our wish for blue a whet. –Robert Frost
