Star Trek.

FINALLY, I managed to catch Star Trek. For awhile I was worried I would have to download ehem I mean, buy the movie because it would be going off screen soon. Yay!

Now, I honestly can't say I am a hardcore Trekkie fan, but I've watched my fair share of Star Trek: Enterprise when I was younger. It was actually ST:E and Babylon 5 which inducted me into the world that is sci-fi, and made me the sci-fi geek that I am today.

I'd slowly gotten used to the cuteness that was Zachary Quinto after watching him on seasons of Heroes, so that was also the partial reason why I was so adamant on catching the movie on the big screen. He makes one good Spock; I'd dare say he overshine Chris Pine, the supposed hunk of the movie.

But... It was like watching Sylar donning on the blue Enterprise uniform, growing a pair of Vulcan ears and having a bad but totally adorable haircut.  While his lack of expressions is undisputedly more endearing than David Boreanaz, it was a little disconcerting. I understand that it was necessary for the role of Spock, but at least Nimoy somewhat added that lil bit of spunk to the character. STILL, the redeeming point was that the similarities between Nimoy!Spock and Zach!Spock was pretty fascinating. I didn't really know the storyline, but the moment Nimoy appeared(can't say I recognise him anymore), I immediately knew he was the older version of Zach!Spock. Kudos.

Well, I guess I'll just have to wait till Zachary's next movie or hit TV series to really know. I'll be watching you, cutie. :D 

For now, let's all go boldly where no man had gone before.

P.S: It was awesome to hear the sentence "Live long, and prosper" used again, but what happened to the exact sentence, "Beam me up, Scotty"?! It was THE rage on online forums about almost a decade ago, with everyone going either 'Over and out' or 'Beam me up, Scotty'. I still remember the smiley icon I always used. :)

P.P.S: Alright, I've just wiki-ed it. Oh well!
