Star Trek

(Picture from here.)

I saw Star Trek over the weekend. It's the best Star Trek event, book, movie or show, ever. Just enough to keep fanboys like me happy. I would have gone to see it and nod, just like the guys in the picture. Abrams gave me a ride. Ben, who's only seen a little Star Trek and didn't think much of it, enjoyed it as much as I did.

Kirk is a twit but he's an admirable twit-- and he's no pretty boy. Kirk looks like nine miles of bad road. Spock is terrific. Bones-- well, you'll find out how he got to be so good with those neck injections.

Interestingly, J. J. Abrams is very adept at film and television. So if anybody can bring this weary franchise back from the dead, it's him.

Simon Pegg is, truly, Shaun of the Dead Federation.
