Still trying to keep an open mind...

about the new Star Trek movie. As I said to a student, I can't begin to count the number of different "origins" versions of my favorite comic book characters I've read over the years, so why am I so protective of Star Trek.

Still, my favorite, absolute favorite episode of Star Trek is "Balance of Terror." Yeah, it's just Run Silent, Run Deep in space, but I still love it. The most important canon thing that happens in it is that, for the very first time, the Federation learns what Romulans look like.

So, I read today that in the new movie Sulu skewers a Romulan.
Frankly, unless that Romulan is wearing an encounter suit worthy of Kosh, I'm wondering how it can possibly be true that they don't know.

Don't mess with me, people--I have a White Star and I know how to use it!

And then there is, of course, Babylon 5! IMHO (ok, maybe not so humble) :) B5 is the best SciFi show that there is.

Like I said, in my not-so-humble opinion!

I am still not so certain that I really *want* to see the new Star Trek movie, but I may captulate for Mother's Day. We can all go see the movie for $6 each (=$30), so I can somehow swollow that price for it. Besides, it is what the rest of the family want to do.

Personally, I'd just love a Mother's Day that does not involve taking Dan to the hospital/doctor.

Has it been any better since you moved south?
