I saw Star Trek today. I had lowered my expectations based on comments here, but I ended up really loving it.
I need to go back and read the comments here, but two stray observations.
How did
the Admiral beam his daughter off of the Enterprise while the shields were up?
I noticed that there wasn't
a voice of the Enterprise used in this film
I guess
they didn't want to replace Majel Barrett as the voice of the Enterprise.
ETA: One more observation
I loved the reference to Nurse Chapel.
Bumperstump Cabbagepatch is possibly the very best ever (except for the superlative Bimplestitch Wonkypants).
I'm blocking on what he says is the worst thing he was called in school--anyone remember?
Bendy Dick Cum on my Baps. It is stuck in my head forever!
Man, the Atlantic just posted an article about Mr. Crinklypips, and one of the other commenters and I started playing lovingly with his name -- as one does -- and some humorless crosspatches are vigorously downvoting us. Way to piss in our cornflakes, people!
Star Trek into Darkness: The Spoiler FAQ.
Look, you’re getting very upset, and this is just the first scene of the movie.
that was a scream, but the bigger scream are at least two commenters who wrote master's theses in response to this. You know you are about to go into the weeds, when the remarks starts: "according to the Starfleet manual..."
The other one took such offense at the "questioner" in the article! His outrage was downright hilarious. He does realize the questioner *is* the author, yes?
