("Spock's Brain" was the absolute worst. "He has no brain, Captain!") But aside from that, there were a few episodes that were genuinely enjoyable. I'd recommend watching "The Trouble with Tribbles"; it's light, rather adorable, and has some really funny moments. As much of a ham as William Shatner is, he conveys exasperation very amusingly.<br /><br />Star Trek: Into Darkness was amazing, I thought. As a Trekkie, the reveal of Cumberbatch's character was jaw-dropping for me. I truly enjoyed his character because...because of all the reasons I can't reveal. I need to watch it again with your comments on Spock in mind; I remember liking him--I always like Spock--but I can't remember exactly what you're speaking of. I do remember being impressed by Kirk at the ending.Rachel6https://www.blogger.com/profile/15138745237488029817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-68718928295436052202013-08-23T19:51:56.751-04:002013-08-23T19:51:56.751-04:00Thank you, Sarah!!!!!!!

It looks like an awesome film(and a great sequel to the earlier film). Spock is also my favorite character, he's amazing :D<br />I plan on watching the TV series, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

All these years I tho...I am not a Trekker/Trekkie. All these years I thought a character's name was ZULU (like Shaka) rather than SULU. The movies and two episodes of the original series are my only encounters into the Trek universe (and pausing whenever Counselor Troi appeared on-screen).<br /><br />Having said that, I disliked Into Darkness intensely only because it was in all but name a remake of a previous Star Trek film. Sorry...to quote River Song, "Spoilers." I also was not impressed w/Cumberbatch: there is something in me that rebels whenever someone uses their luxurious baritone to denote "I AM A VILLAIN". Simon Pegg got on my nerves w/his 'quirky' humor, and to basically demote Anton Yelchin's Chekov to that of 'bumbling boy' was a waste of time.<br /><br />By no means the worst Star Trek film (having seen all of them, I found some that were just awful), Star Trek Into Darkness looks nice but has no core in it. Otherwise, they would have come up w/something...well, original.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611922269342141654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-18729138232179964312013-08-23T09:35:38.075-04:002013-08-23T09:35:38.075-04:00I'm a Trekkie on and off.

I've only ever seen the older TV series with William Shatner (who is really so full of himself it's aggravating)<br /> Heh I was very pleased to note that in the panel with all the Star Trek characters, I can name all of them except the blondie at the end.<br /> I've never seen the movie (yet!) but I know who Benedict Cumerbatch plays and I can't wait to see this.
