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!

Going off to re-inspect her geek creds, I do believe that I am still in the apprentice stage. I know, I can draw up the plans and see if that gets further along in the geek scale! :)
