is there a spoiler alert with this.
I do not want to see more than is on the current US trailers.
it ticks me off that Star Trek an American show (yes we all know it embraces multi culturalism) opens first in Australia and Europe. what’s with that?
I saw the pictures. The way these characters capture the physical appearance of the original Spock and Uhura, in younger form, is impressive. However, the photos of that kiss make me think more of a couple of young women I knew years ago who fell in love with homosexual men...sort of sad and icky at the same time. And it’s sad that so many romances from the screen these days that have any juice to them are fantasy, fall-in-love-with-an-alien-or-vampire...And, of course, the actor that plays Spock is an outed gay guy.
Ping...
I watched the first one at the theater when it came out.
I liked it well enough.
Watched it again on Amazon so I could brush up on it before seeing the next one.
Maybe I wasn’t paying attention, but, the first time, I somehow missed the significance of the plot device of this new series being in a completely altered future from now on. It’s a somewhat clever mechanism to let this new series deviate significantly from everything before, while still retaining similarities and characters.
It was obvious the second time through, and I don’t know how I missed it the first time - maybe I went to get more popcorn during crucial scenes or something.
Too bad Spock is gay !
when i see star trek i want to see adventure stories, not touchy-feelie crap.
“The once secretive relations that Uhura and Spock had now appear to be common knowledge to all on the USS Enterprise.”
Sounds like they need to be brought up on charges. Having sex with subordinates is disruptive to the military. Now all the women on the Enterprise will assume Uhura is getting promoted due to her sexual prowess, and Spock is showing himself unfit for command.
Oh wait - those were ideas the original series might have understood. In the new one, it is all just “Kids in Space”, with Kirk getting command before he learned anything about life and the others all competing with each other for sex.
So...how long before Sulu and Spock get it on?
And you mark my words, eventually in this Star Trek reboot, they will make one of the main characters gay.
Always liked “TOS.” I even bought the three season dvd-sets. So I was awfully tempted to go see the first film re-boot when it came out. But when I learned the new Spock actor was a fruit, it just soured me on the idea. So I didn’t bother.
It’s hard enough now to go back and watch a once-favorite episode of the old series like “The Naked Time,” with Sulu prancing about the Enterprise corridors, without getting a bit nauseated!
