STAR TREK Appreciation #1: In 2009 comes a new vision of the greatest space adventure of all time

Oh cool, you have the novelisation? I'd like to get that eventually, I only have the audiobook at the moment. Which is fun in itself, to be fair, considering that ZQ reads it :lol:

Wow, really, you didn't get the appeal behind Spock/Kirk? Not even the basis of the epic friendship? My knowledge is limited too because I'm not an original fan, but I kinda understood that obviously their relationship is at the heart of the show, and whatever verse ST happens to be in. It doesn't mean I like the slash, though :look:

I loved Jim and Bones' relationship too, they're quite obviously BFFs. I said this in my review but I just adore the different relationships between the whole crew in general, there's so many dynamics to play with there, but it's obvious they're all super-close and like this big family. I cannot freaking wait to see more of that portrayed in the future films!

Definitely. He deserves some. I'm reading the novelization right now and I just passed the point where Sarek (I think) says that to him. Good dialogue in there.



Awe, really? :hug: I adore you, I really do.

I'm curious about who everyone ships because I know the major slash ship is Kirk/Spock; I've just never understood that.

Then again, my knowledge of Star Trek remains only with the new film so I don't know too much about the fandom within. I'm a big Jim/Bones shipper, friendship and love. And I think Spock/Uhura is cute.

Thanks! I felt like after the Kirk stuff, I should show some Spock love too

I ship Kirk/Spock in the sense that I LOVE their bromance and epic friendship, but I don't slash them. I do ship Spock/Uhura though, I just love their relationship and I think they're awesome together.

By the way Jenny, I left you a special birthday post the other day, on my LJ, you should check it out if you get a chance!

I used to watch some of Star Trek when I was younger, though I was never a huge fan. But I am SO excited about this movie :lol: Namely because of J.J. Abrams at the helm :thud: And Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg and John Cho? Hell yeah!

Thanks for the thread! I'll go ahead and admit I've never seen one second of Star Trek. This will probably be the first Star Trek anything I will ever see. :nod:
