And of course, there is one lone man who opposes them all.

And his wacky friend with the one-man helicopter.

And a feral child.

And a dog.

I seem to be living in a parallel universe these days. To the point I wonder if I'm narcoleptic.

Thank you, Radar. Pegg it is. An Englishman as a Scot. I'm beginning to get why they hate the English

And yes, I'm going to see it. I sorta was before, honest...

Silly for accents to bug me, when I loved Ewan as Alec Guinness and Tennant as an English Doctor.

Why do I hate America?

You're all also forgetting that Yvonne Strahovski, the uber babe in Chuck is Australian. In fact she does such a great non-accent in the series that it seems odd when she uses her real speaking voice.

Not only is her character hot and dangerous, but also a nerd lover.

Read this hysterical article by Wil Wheaton about WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER at Suicide Girls.

Part 1: http://suicidegirls.com/news/geek/20562/

Part 2: http://suicidegirls.com/news/geek/20634/

Wil Wheaton is now a famous blogger, and his current blog is:

If you don't know who Wil Wheaton is . . . or Suicide Girls . . . or Star Trek . . . there's no hope for you. You're dead!

C'mon now, Kirk has a point. What is a 16 yo kid doing at the helm?

driving the boat, obviously! quick reflexes, and all that. Poor Wesley, nobody loved him.

That's precisely why I'm having a problem convincing myself that I want to see this movie. At least the people putting together Star Trek Phase II (used to be Star Trek: New Voyages, has permission from both Paramount and Majel Roddenberry) went to the extra effort to get the look and the FX correct. They also have some of the original screenwriters and ST novel authors contributing scripts, along with regular appearances by actors from the original series.

It occurs to me that I'm probably not the first person to mention this. (EDIT: Actually, I am. Ha.)

Too much of a good thing; or, will the STAR save it?

To me the original series is the best! (And 6 movies)
