My Mother had this to say about it. What's fun is that she does so somewhat as her character from her "Trekkers Around and Over 40" group.
Yeah, she's got a chip on her shoulder about Paramount and Braga. I'll be going to see it the first chance I get, but I don't think that'll be
for a while. Just one of the disadvantages of being permanently forward-deployed to Japan.
Quote: Its not like the Trek of old, where at least the idealism of Space, the final frontier was really something we, as a generation of SciFi junkies, really
believed in. It was the ultimate dream of anyone young at heart in the 60s to be able to board a rocket or star ship and go
where "no one has gone before.". It was a dream that knew no boundaries and it was something we cherished.
At least up til now.
Paramount & Braga are in it for the money. Gotta admit, so was Roddenberry, but I just quit seeing Star Trek as something I worship at the shrine of the
USS Fouryish. I only have chocolate, the Hubble, Tribble DNA research and anything your Dad is working on over at APL... his latest effort is going to take a
trip into a asteroid belt "near by" our planet. Now that, to me, is something really cool, to know that a board you worked on will be orbiting
Mars, or rocketing towards Alpha Centauri, or floating around an asteroid belt taking readings about what is out there.
Dude, sorry, but like its so 7 of 9 to me. And I ain't gonna see the movie, or new series. And Leonard Nimoy can Kiss My Asteroid Belt.
