Mark Leonard was sex on legs and a witty man to boot.

well, he's not necessarily crippled. he could have just been sitting in the wheelchair because he was still recuperating from his injuries.

(ok, even i'm not sure if i really believe that.)

idk i'm not all that familiar with past spocks but i thought this one was pretty hot.

Oh, Mark Leonard is, and always will be, da bomb as Sarek.

Everyone misses Mark Lenard's hotness. He had the perfect craggy/angular face for a Vulcan, especially circa ST III.

Yah, if they wanted to have more points of correspondence between the reboot and the original, they could have picked something else. On a completely shallow level, Pike inna wheelchair probably isn't even that well remembered from the old series.

Oh, so true. At least we finally agree on something.

As for crippling Pike, my mom and I had a VERY long discussion about that and we don't think he was paralyzed at the end of the movie. Just injured. That's our story and we're sticking to it until canon proves otherwise.

PS. I've always thought Bruce Greenwood was a total fucking hot ass and EEEEEEEE SO HOT AS PIKE!!!!!!

They don't make Vulcans the way they used to.

Ben Cross was the one new casting I couldn't get used to, because HE WAS NOT MARK LENARD. *draws hearts around Sarek*

I am choosing to believe Pike will recover with time (it's onyl been a few weeks since they dug the bug outta his spine), and not suffer Pike Prime's fate, me. Cos if they can gene sequence human/vulcan hybrids, they can so grow him a new spine in a jar.

You know, when my the movie finished my friend asked me if I thought this was the "one of the best star trek movies ever." And I couldn't answer. I liked it, but I think it's because I never connected it with the rest of the cannon stuff. You can't, right? It's not possible.

I prefered that they "re-imagined" it, and I was willing (at the time of watching) to ignore whatever stupid things they decided to do.

also, it wasn't super boring and annoying like most action movies that come out today. It's a fan-fic movie. I'm alright with that. Fan fic writers often get lots wrong and weird.

you know, i am actually kind of pissed that they destroyed the planet romulus. i mean, i could deal with the destruction of vulcan, because that happened in the alt!universe, but the destruction of romulus happened in the original universe before spock and nero went through the black hole.

i know that, as a race, the romulans were primarily employed as villains throughout the various series, but even spock felt that they were worth saving (heck, even worth spending a large chunk of his later years on their planet working towards reunification with the vulcans).

not cool, man, not cool. *shakes head*

also, did you catch the reference to "enterprise" in the movie? :P
