Isn’t it great when TV Cancels a show and it becomes a money making ICON thirty years later?

I am a trekkie forever… and Nothing beats the original because if Captain Kirk couldn’t fight it, he &^%#ed it.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I, too, love all the even numbered Trek movies…with number 4 being a fave.

Chekhov and the ‘where are the nuclear weapons?’

Bones healing the woman with diabetes, I think, with just a pill and talking about the barbarity of 20th century medicine.

Ah, it was awesome

“Wrath of Khan” rocked it out for me…the creepy ear bug thingie in Chekhov’s head, Kirk shouting “Khaaaaaaaan!”

Okay, now you’re making me want to watch them again.

I’ve only seen the new movie once so far (but definitely expect to see it many, many more once it’s out on DVD), so I didn’t catch either the tribble or the reference to Admiral Archer’s dog. Of course, now I will be looking for all the Easter eggs very carefully.

Oh, I love me some Star Trek! Though, as Teresa knows, I’m a bit more of a Star Wars fan. *g*

I always thought the even-numbered Trek movies were better: Khan, The Voyage Home, The Undiscovered Country. Of the Next Gen movies, I’d also put First Contact as my fav.

And I really liked Enterprise, until they decided they had to do something poignant and kill off Trip Tucker right at the end.

In the new movie, did you catch the reference to “Admiral” Archer’s dog?

I love Star Trek. I Lurve the new movie enough that i have seen it 4 times already and am thinking about the drive in next.

Yes, I am geeky. So much so, I bought Kellogg’s cerel so I could get the shirt (ha) and the 1gig ST thumb drive. My husband just laughs at me.

Voyage Home was my fave of the original movies. Since they cut the part out of Kirk dying, it doesn’t count.

I always found McCoy the sexiest and I love the new guy playing him. It’s the sense of humor. Any man I lust for has to have one. Mandatory. The more sarcastic at times the better. LOL

Bring on the next movie and hurry up damn it. But since JJ Abramhs might not be doing it they better make sure they can match what he did for this one.

Did you all find the Tribble in the movie?

I’m a huge Star Trek fan, too, as Jackie can attest. However, I tried Deep Space Nine and never really got into it. Part of the reason is my hatred of bringing ‘the cute kid’ into any series. (sorry, but I find that dynamic really annoying.) It worked well with Wes in TNG, because he did grow up…the first couple of years he was a whiny thing, but I liked how they tried to show how difficult it was for a brilliant teen to want to be part of the crew, but not really being able to.

I tried to watch Voyager for awhile…because I thought the idea of the lost ship in non-Federation space would be very cool…and it was for awhile, but I never really grew to love the characters as much as those in TNG. Plus, I was very distracted (in a not-so-good way) by Seven’s massive boobs.

I also tried Enterprise…the first few episodes were just not that great, so I didn’t stick with it. Although I remembered thinking the concept would be super-cool….the first use of the transporter, for example. But they squandered the chance to make it ‘dark.’ I guess deep down I wanted it to be more like Battlestar Galactica turned out to be, bleak and sort of winging it in space. But they made it a little too easy for the Enterprise crew, I think.

Wow, awfully long comment. And I didn’t even get to the movie. Let’s just say I loved it, but had the same problem you did, Jackie, with Kirk becoming captain. But I can forgive them, because the rest of the movie was awesome!
