Star Trek (2009)

June 10th, 2009 at 9:05 pm

After writing this, I feel this post needs to start off with *NERD ALERT!!*
See, I always have viewed Spock as the main charactor for the entire concept of Star Trek. At first it was about him learning how to embrace his humanity, but then after Star Trek 5 Spock appears to be human and then some. He is what WE want to be, emotional, but also logical. He comes around being Ambassador Spock and never seems worried. and then it has to be Spock to fly that ship to stop the shockwave. HOW IS IT NOT ANYONE ELSE IF THE 2 TRILLION PEOPLE OF THE STAR TREK UNIVERSE. Data is another example. He is like Spock, all logic at first, and struggling to become human. He then surpasses humanity with his intellect, strength, and ability to control his emotions( turn off his emotion chip) It seems to be that we are presented with those two over and over again as the ideal that we the audience should strive to be.

I just (like 20 min ago) saw the movie for the first time and I would give it a solid A. I see what you mean about Kirk getting rewarded time and time again for his “shoot from the hip” attitude, but I think that was only after he found his “faith”. Remember, when the cadets were frist assigned to ships, he wasn’t assigned to any and seemed to accept that. McCoy was the one who smuggled him aboard. It was only after he met future Spock and learned of his “destiny” that he charged wildly into the events. And think about it this way, if God told you tonight that by tomorrow night you will have saved the world, you would have to trust your decisions to be the right ones and make them without question, wouldnt you? Kirk’s “logic” in this reasoning is obviously flawed, but he know how things were “suppose” to be and assumed that it was his doings to make it that way. NOw having just watched it I haven’t thought about it on any deeper levels yet, I just enjoyed a good movie. The biggest thing to bother me was HOW IN THE WORLD DID SPOCK AND UHURA HOOK UP?? If we are to assume that the only difference in the timelines was Nero comming back HOW DID THAT START THEIR RELATIONSHIP?!?!? I understand that things are allowed to be different, but only in the context of what Nero changed. How does the U.S.S. Kelvin getting destroyed make Spock like the dark meat??? This I cannot understand. I need Doc Brown, he was allways good at explaining time paradoxes to me….
