I wouldn't call myself a hard core fan, but all through my life Star Trek has always been there. I have vague recollections of watching TNG when it was first on, and the original series was always being repeated and then I would go out of my way to watch Deep Space Nine and Voyager when they were first shown despite BBC 2's crappy scheduling (admission time, while I do think DS9 was the better of the two, I liked Voyager more, enough to actually buy some of the books. Can't explain it). I liked it enough to be disappointed in Enterprise. It wasn't my favorite, but it definitely was an important part of my childhood grounding in science fiction.

I think I need to give the older stuff another look. Because after watching the new movie, I think I am in love.

I need to go see this again. Needs to be out on DVD now.

I've been quite disparaging ever since hearing about the new Star Trek movie. Ooh, reboot and younger actors, it'll be rubbish. But having been watching the trailers, I'm actually quite excited. It looks awesome! Now I'm annoyed that I won't have anyone to see it with until Monday.

( Yes, I am a spoiler whore )

Another thing that surprised me is how hot young Spock is. As Sylar, Zachary Quinto does nothing for me, but shave his eyebrows and put some pointy ears on him...

Rawr!
