That summary leaves out the song. It's all about the song.
Yea, brother!
See?
...Oh no, now it's in my head. And it's my own fault. Crap.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I am so spending my summer TV hiatus on TOS rewatch.
Saw Trek again today. Still madly in love, like a little kid.

For all time TOS cheese, it's hard to beat Spock's Brain.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I guess there was once or twice that all power was diverted to the forward shields or something, which kind of counts as changing channels and turning up the volume, but I can ignore that since it's not overcoming a plot point - it's blocking a punch.
Is there fanfic where guys from Engineering get together in pubs to drink and complain about why the fuck Starfleet isn't building vessels with more power already IN the forward sheilds? Because really, it seems like having more power there would solve an awful lot of Starfleet's problems.
Saw the movie again last night with my sisters and it does hold up. To answer Pete's quibble - they do toss off one-line explanations as to why there are all these new people on the ship. It takes an awful lot of handwaving to believe that the battlefield promotions would stick once they're back on Earth, but once you get to Kirk as Captain, I'm okay with him picking his own crew.
I HAVE SUCH A CRUSH ON THIS MOVIE OMG.
And yes, it's making me want to rewatch TOS all summer too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Incidentally two of your seventeen would make my top ten. Three of them would make my top fifteen.
Sounds like the beginning of an annoying logic puzzle....

How Big Is the New Enterprise Compared to the Old One?
I didn't even notice that this Enterprise was so much bigger than the TOS one.
Is comparing size spoilery? Also, is there a joke in there somewhere?
Also, I may compose a mini edu-rant about how few people are familiar with the WW-II Enterprise, despite its many exploits....

What I love about this Trek is that for every change, you can just say ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. NEENER. If I was Abrams I would be doing that EVERY DAY.
Which is probably why I don't work in movies.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love the space hippie episode.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think there are about 24 episodes so far that appear to be recommended, which is a little over a quarter. A fair chunk, more than I was expecting to watch, but it should be good fun.
