Star Trek XI - Quick Thoughts
May. 2nd, 2009 05:11 pmOriginally submitted to the Ottawa SF Society Statement for publication:
Sandi, you asked for my opinion after our expedition to Silver City
Gloucester this morning to see the new movie.
I can sum it up efficiently enough as follows:
Same multiverse, different timeline. Well worth the time to see it. Definitely.
Still planning to keep reading the novels playing off of the Original
Series (Plural) in any case. Because they're well worth my time, too.
And if DC Comics can juggle fifty-two universes in their continuity
right now, why can't Star Trek manage to keep playing with at least
three?
I'll save my detail-specific nitpicks for a separate essay.
