Serious question: anyone want to go see Star Trek in May?

I never thought I would be at all interested in seeing the new Star Trek movie, but after seeing a trailer and looking at the cast list I changed my opinion. Seriously, check out this trailer. The cast includes Zacary Quinto (Sylar/Gabriel from Heroes) as Spock, Simon Pegg (the skinnier British guy from Hot Fuzz and Shawn of the Dead) as Scotty, Eric Bana (star of Munich) as the villain Nero, and John Cho (Harold of Harold and Kumar) as Sulu. The main drawback of the casting: Tyler Perry makes a cameo appearance.

Warren and Katie may yet get me into Battlestar Gallactica.

  1. OK, so after watching the trailer I probably would, but alas, I wouldn't be on the logistics working out.

  2. I will! I'm in the same boat as you - I've never even seen an episode of the show, but the trailer and cast were pretty convincing (side note: when I first wrote this, I accidentally wrote "cast" as "cats," which led me into a long and funny daydream about Trekkie nerd cats).

    Speaking of Sylar, I thought last night's 'Heroes' was amazing! You?

    And yes you should obviously all be watching BSG.

  3. Heroes was pretty sweet. I have a bit of a man-crush on Sylar, but I hate Elle, so I am waiting anxiously to see how that storyline develops.

  4. I know right she sucks. but I can live with her, whereas Maya made me want to claw my own eyes out, so I'm happier than I was a few weeks ago.

  5. I agree with that. Maya and her brother remind me of Nikki and Paolo from Lost; I am just glad they buried all of those characters.

  6. I didn't need the trailer to convince me. I've had it penciled in since the teaser. (for anyone not aware, Gen and I are watching the complete star trek in chronological order but with the original series at the end).
