this movie is so good I was blown away. I am a fan of all star trek movies and tv series, cept enterprize, havent seen that one yet. they did such a phenominal job casting these actors, and you could tell the direction was spot on for each character. the story line is incredibly bold, and well told. I was so moved at the magnitude and delicate handling of all my favorite characters, I even got a little misty.

Of course, I'm a little nervous about having Captain Kirk without William Shatner's brilliant acting ^_^
This was extremely well written and stuck very closely to the original series complete with green chicks and all. References were spot on too. Like reprogramming the Kobyashi Maru simulation and CPT Pike ending up in a wheelchair. I can't wait to see it again. Especially if I can find an IMAX that is showing it.
I was a HIGE fan of DS9. They actually mention the Dominion in Season 1 and it builds from there. Great Show! I actually own every ST DVD there is. All the Seasons and Series, movies, animated series (which sucked). With that being said, I do not go to conventions and I do NOT dress up! I will eventually buy them on Blu-Ray but I can't do so at the moment.
I heard he was trying to negotiate airfare thru Priceline.Com and missed his flight ...cheapskate ...
First Spock is central to the story and jj abrams HAD to have Nemoy. No ands ifs or buts. Nemoy demanded and got 4 million for his role because he got screwed on the original series royalties and such. The execs at Paramount thought this an outrageous amount for 2 weeks of Nemoys time, but they caved and Ok'd it; gambling that the movie would be a blockbuster. Then they approached shatner about being in the movie and his reply was "only if I get paid more than Nemoy". Total deal breaker
There is a second Star Trek in the works and they are trying to Shatner in on it.
