I can't wait for the new fanfic either!!!! Best Regards, Sylvia Spock is VERY cool, so I understand your preference there – he might seem cool on the surface, but yeah, there's passion underneath.

Yeah, I'm with you, if there aren't characters I can care about or at least relate to, then never mind THAT movie. Characters are always more important than special effects, in my book. The Enterprise was stunning real and alive. I can't imagine a more fitting tribute than this movie to a great fandom! How marvelous!

Yeah, he's a quiet one, that Spock, but hot underneath. Just like Vulcan. : D I'm looking forward to the fanfic as well - with new blood pumping in and the new timeline? Hurray! We'll be hip deep in it before we know it. Oooh, a Spock girl, good taste, woman!!! Yeah, he's a quiet one, that Spock, but hot underneath. Just like Vulcan. : D

I fell in love with the characters (all over again) and I love the spark between Pine and Quinto. I love the humor, the drama, the action. I loved all of it. Normally, how a movie looks plays very little into my enjoyment of it. As long as it has character development I'm good (Like with 300, the style was unique and glossy but I didn't give a rat's ass about the characters and consequently hated the movie.) Having said that, this movie is absolutely gorgeous. The use of light is stunning and the first time I saw the Enterprise, my mouth was hanging open just like Kirk and Bones. I have to tell you, that is the first time any special effect has done that for me. I honestly have never seen anything so sleek. It felt retro but had a modern gloss that made the entire thing beautiful. Seriously. I saw it twice over the weekend.

There's just something about men with emotions bubbling hot under the surface, i guess. :) But your article really makes me appreciate Kirk all the more. And it's true - when their eyes met in this movie, sparks DID fly, and their relationship was great. (this is the movie that will launch a thousand slash fan-fic stories!) :) While I've always had HUGE respect for Kirk, I've always, always, always been a Spock girl.

There was so much to say about the movie, so many praiseworthy comments, but I felt that if I talked about them all, I would be spreading it thin, so I wanted to concentrate on one aspect that would hopefully give potential viewers the very big clue that this was a TERRIFIC movie. So I chose Kirk because I love him best of all. Plot holes I saw like you did, like, um, why would Spock fraternize with a cadet who was also his student? The relationship between him and Uhura was lovely to watch, but I was confused by it, too. Still, they did a great job and made what we love central to this film. I can't wait for the next one!!!

I agree with every word - speaking as a long-time Original Star Trek fan, they hit every mark with panache and love. But there's one point you missed mentioning. The Love At First Sight as Kirk leaned across in the shuttle to see the Enterprise for the first time. Yes, there were plot holes, yes, there were the odd quibbles, but bottom line - I Did Not Care. This film was a glorious celebration of Star Trek Reset. Long may she fly. Yes, yes and yes!
