Not much I can add to three generations my my Trekkie family vouching for the awesomeness of the film, so I'll don my Captain Continuity hat and answer specific questions.<br /><br />1) John Harrison was intimately involved with the design and creation of the Vengeance, and likely the plan to implement it. Therefore he was probably supposed to end up on that planet anyway, though possibly via different circumstances. He was playing the plan close as possible to the original one to get his hands on the ship.<br /><br />2) I have no problem with Uhura blatantly stating the value of her qualifications on an away team, as a direct "take that" at the underuse of those skills in the original series and films.<br /><br />Enjoy the show folks! <br />Jeff McGinleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788944317811387240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690632656143895108.post-14352967216883368012013-05-27T18:35:31.116-07:002013-05-27T18:35:31.116-07:00At a girl, Anabelle.

This was as exciting as Dad wrote and to make a unanimous McGinley observation - It was AWESOME !!! <br /> I enjoyed every part of it and felt like I could watch it over and over. I also know that Grandpa would have loved this movie. I could hear his comments in my head as the movie went on. Daddy was right on all countsGrandmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690632656143895108.post-50768389860533373762013-05-27T15:34:19.182-07:002013-05-27T15:34:19.182-07:00I hope you took them out of your hair firstI hope you took them out of your hair firstlongbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119778031758033525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690632656143895108.post-75403079377477051892013-05-27T15:18:16.661-07:002013-05-27T15:18:16.661-07:00How can you say that about Iron Man 3 and Star Tre...How can you say that about Iron Man 3 and Star Trek Into Darkness? Those movies were AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! You made me so upset, that I threw my hairbands on the floor. The switched roles in the radiation room was super duper cool. They put in part of the older Khan movie, but since it wasn't that exact film, they switched the roles. It was not worse than Iron Man because it wasn't bad! Star Trek was magnificent. I liked them both.Anabellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690632656143895108.post-35697733674555392542013-05-27T14:51:24.183-07:002013-05-27T14:51:24.183-07:00Unimaginative.

It's like they were in the writers room and someone said "Wouldn't it be cool if we switched the roles?" and no one said, "Yeah, that'd be cool... okay back to work making a NEW movie and not FanFic"<br /><br />Why was cumberbun hiding on the planet he was hiding? if he wasn't there the whole devious plot device thing doesn't work.<br /><br />Terrible movie. I lost emotional investment when Uhura gave her little "you put me on this mission because X, let me do X" speech.<br /><br />I agree the actors did a Yeoman's job (see what I did there?) in putting more flesh on their characters but the whole thing was one unmotivated action sequence after another.<br /><br />Even worse than IronMan3 (Ducks to avoid chair sized pile of dogfood thrown across the continent)longbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119778031758033525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690632656143895108.post-4648219055678799592013-05-23T21:51:54.258-07:002013-05-23T21:51:54.258-07:00Ignore the last line glitch folks,

I was totally wondering about that.... although I'm not sure if want to see what happens with it or not, I keep having images from Attack of the Killer Tomatoes 2.
