To Boldly Go Where No Man has Gone Before
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I finally watched Star Trek with nine other people today and it turned out that it is better than my expectations. I can only say two things: J.J. Abrams is nuts :D, and that the new Trek blows me away! I could care less about the canonical events here, since it’s a reboot anyway, and it involves time travel that ultimately changed the fate of everything since the birth of James T. Kirk. But whoever thought of putting the time travel business so smoothly and perfectly here is one damn genius.
Of course, as a geek, I am obligated to ask these questions. Since everything changes since the destruction of the USS Kelvin, what would happen to the rest of the timeline? What would happen to Kirk himself? Would he get married, have a child of his own, lost it and repeat the occurrences of Star Trek 3? What would happen to Picard? Would he be involved in a fight with the Nausicaans and got his heart transplanted? And furthermore, would he still be captain? We are yet to find out :D
Geez, today felt like geek orgasm since, I don’t know, Revenge of the Sith?
