I stayed up with some whiskey last night and watched JJ Abrams’ Star Trek for the second or third time, and finally actually enjoy the heck out of it. There are still a few things I am not fond of, like a Romulan dump truck/crane from the future being able to take out federation warships, and Spock’s casual diddling of the timeline (“whelp, 6 billion Vulcans ded, guess I’ll give Scotty his trans-warp transporter equation a couple decades early”), but I can get in on the fun and enjoy the actors playing with the legendary roles. I like Chris Pike better as Kirk than Shatner, as this version is not afraid to fail, and still manages to have a brash, cocky attitude.
