meirwen_1988Saw the Star Trek trailer. Okay--the machinery is all too shiny and pretty. Too plexiglass. Not enough "1940s aircraft carrier" and waaay too much circa 2008 ops room. But, well, I'm prepared to accept this "young Spock" and, well...I'm too much of a total Star Trek geek not to be overjoyed. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(How big a geek am I? Back when rocks were soft, before DVDs, before VHS, I put my cassette recorder in front of the speaker on the television and made audio tapes of EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of the original series, put the titles of the individual episodes on the tapes, numbered them (in the order originally aired), and listened to them. Repeatedly. They got me through my BA. That, and reading The Lord of the Rings twice a year. We won't talk about the posters. Framed. Or that model kit. Or the embroidered patches. Or the Enterprise necklace. I'm that big a geek. I guess the secret's out.)
