Comments on: New Star Trek Revises the Canon; Not Really a Bad Thing http://jeremyhatch.com/nextframe/new-star-trek-revises-the-canon-not-really-a-bad-thing/ Wed, 11 May 2011 17:11:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: jim http://jeremyhatch.com/nextframe/new-star-trek-revises-the-canon-not-really-a-bad-thing/comment-page-1/#comment-44 jim Sat, 23 May 2009 19:47:03 +0000 http://jeremyhatch.com/?p=517#comment-44 I don;t mind some of the changes....some of it i have to get used to. But i hope Spock character in the course of his adventure becomes the stoic science officer we come to know and love. It was his inner conflict over the course of the series that made the series great. I don;t mind some of the changes….some of it i have to get used to.

And it'll look even better in a week or two, when the layout is fixed. I'm glad to hear you think they really captured the spirit of the franchise!

His performance brought tears of trek joy to my eyes. Besides the obvious reasons—writing, effects, acting— the movie worked because it somehow captured the feeling I get when I watch star trek - both TOS and TNG. I can't define it, but there it was in my gut: the feeling that this IS Star Trek. Abrams and crew just nailed it. As far as continuity goes - all discrepancies between this movie and original canon were satisfactorily explained as far as I'm concerned. But we can discuss that later. on an unrelated note, the new site's looking great! (Let me preceded this by saying that I was lucky enough to see a preview screening last week)
