I'm also a hardcore SW fan, I mean...I've been to the Celebrations (Conventions) during the release of the new triology....

Okey, I'mma 'bout to write "Dr. McCoy's Diverse Hominid Species Sex Manual"--kinna like Zogg's Sex Wax crossed with "Everything I Wanted To Know About Sex, But Wast Too Afraid To Ask" crossed with the "Kama Sutra"...

I'm taking every Trekkie's input... Especially, the "Astrobiology Holodeck Physician's Corp"

So back to the New Spock & Uhura... Apparently, in the Ol Skool show, Spock played his lyre with Uhura singing some jazzy song. The lyrics were like this:

Quote:

On the starship Enterprise
There’s someone who’s in Satan’s guise
Whose devil ears and devil eyes
Could rip your heart from you!

At first his look will hypnotize
His alien love will victimize
And rip your heart from you!

Anyhow, the hubby and I got into this heated argument about the "new" Star Trek saying that when Uhura argued with the New Spock about why she didn't get assigned to the Enterprise... My husband said the New Spock was hittin' the twizad! I say, he hadn't hit it yet... So who's right?

His assumption was based on the "elevator scene" and what Uhura said when the New Spock pimped out...

I say, he was about to or already did it when Kirk and the New Spock were being sent on the away team...

What say you?

So would the New Spock spunk be green? :rolleyes:

I think they were already doing it....hence the quick assignment switch the the Enterprise.....

I do like that twist though!

I dunno??? He knew her and he taught her, but the Spock character has always been "ethical" so it would not seem to me he breached that possibility. That does not go to say he DID NOT want to tap that azz... But he held restraint...

Uhura going off on him before being allowed to board the Enterprise is either
  • a "quit your yapping thing" (which I think it is)
  • or the New Spock had tapped it and couldn't deal with Nokia ship to ship nuisance messages (which I don't favor)...

And When did Starfleet Academy breach this "no fraternizing clause" with superior officers, etc... That's what confused me. :confused:

Cause there was too much breaching goin' on in that Star Trek movie!!! I'll havta see it again...

Zachary and Chris looked really hot on Weekend Update last Saturday. :cool:


I had no idea until I read this that he was in that movie. I was trying to rack my brain to figure out where I had seen "Uhura" in a movie before watching Star Trek. (Yes, I figured it out. Thank you imdb.com.)

Oh and AKA_Monet... throughout the Star Trek series, people of higher rank were getting it on with the others....so that didn't surprise me one bit...

In TOS they did not due to the times of filming and censorship--the fish stopped moving when Cap'n Kirk rolled in... LOL... As for TNG, DS9 and Voyager series, oh yeah, EVERYBODY got busy... I often wondered if Data's stuff vibrated and rotated? :rolleyes:

DH and I went to see Star Trek in IMAX last night.

No. No no no. No no no no no no no. It took long-established Star Trek canon, gang-raped it, and then poured sugar into its antimatter chambers.

And, cliche much? You've got the woman giving birth in the middle of a crisis, Kirk running into the cave where Spock just happened to be waiting for him, the ground falling out from under Amanda just a split second before the transporter could lock onto her, OMFG.........

RIP, Star Trek canon. :(

DaemonSeid 06-28-2009 11:07 PM

Its not based on canon.

it's a reboot.

ASUADPi 11-28-2009 12:10 AM

Did anyone else buy it?

I've watched it like 4 times now. LOL.

I'm definately looking forward to the next one, but I guess JJ Abrams said that they wouldn't be releasing until 2012 and that just sucks.

Psi U MC Vito 11-28-2009 12:22 AM

I just bought it myself. It was a pale experience compared to seeing it on an imax though.

I didn't get to see it at the Imax, just at a regular theater.

Psi U MC Vito 11-28-2009 02:49 PM

Saw it at the big Imax dome at the Liberty Science Center. That was amazing.

I got it on blu ray as well.

I'm loving how movies look on blu ray!

epchick 11-29-2009 04:43 PM

I bought it (not on blu ray though, I feel left out! haha)!

I'm also the only one of my friends to actually figure out where R2 was without having to google it first.

With all the blu ray commercials, I'm curious. How different is blu ray from dvd and what's the difference?

Well it depends on your player and your TV but baiscally in most cases, the Blu ray tends to look a lot more crisp and has a more robust sound than standard def. DVDs.
