It's been a few days, since I've seen Star Trek, and I'm looking around at all the comments, that the film has gotten on some of my favorite sites, IO9, Den of Geek, and Sci-Fi wire to name a few. Most people either really love this film or really hate it. I'm not seeing a lot of middle ground people. I don't think the people that are criticizing the film get the fact that not only are we dealing with an alternate timeline, but this is supposed to be a reboot of Star Trek.
Speaking of the works of Abrams and Lindelof, I am so watching Lost tonight.
I just found out there's going to be a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas in August. I wish like mad I could go, but unless some miracle happens, nothing's doing.
Twitter...I hate to say it, but you have to be a certain type of blogger to really appreciate Twitter. I don't like blogging too much about minutiae (ie. It's 11:55pm and I am brushing my teeth. Now it's midnight and I'm turning down the covers.), because it gets boring fast, even if the person in question is a celebrity. I try to tweet about things that are out of the ordinary for me, or that I think might be of interest to others that are into the same thing. Like when I post about a J-horror film I'm watching or something like that.
I'm procrastinating like mad on seeing if I can get that drawing uploaded to this blog. I don't think anybody is really thinking about Wolverine at this point anyway. Are American attention spans really so short? If so, that doesn't speak volumes of us does it?

The New Star Trek Movie
I hear they're already planning on a sequel to this, without even having seen the results of how well the first one does yet. That's just crazy to me.
I'm too young to have seen Star Trek the first time around. I caught it in syndication. My father liked it and so did my mother. I think he has watched all the series, even Enterprise. He's not really a trekkie or trekker or whatever the preferred name is now though. He's never even been to a convention. I'm even more of a casual viewer. I do have favorite episodes from the different series though. My favorite episode of the original Star Trek is Mirror Mirror. I think a lot of people like that one. Another thing that used to trip me out about the first series, was how when the ship was supposed to have crashed into something, they'd stagger all around the place holding on to things with these looks of horror on their faces. I'd just be in stitches. At the time it was made, maybe it looked more believable. Do I have favorite characters from the original show? Yeah...It's a tie between Spock and Uhura. I'll be very curious to see if this new movie is any good. Time will tell.
