/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

He absolutely nailed the character.
You have to hand it to the Kelvin movies, just about all of them are amazing send ups to the original actors and characters.
The actors I liked a lot, they all did great at capturing the nuances. The plots.... meh. They also didn't have the same realistic "feel" of the classic TV/movies. It was more "arcadish" and shiny. I will say there are a few scenes/lines in some of them that I liked, even though it was a different timeline. "Your father was captain of a starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's. And yours. I dare you to do better." I still prefer the original Kirk origin, and the Kirk in the various novels over the years is a bad ass prodigy.
JJ Abrams doesn't do plots
All he does is adolescent shouting and "running around"...and rehashing the same plot points with the primary plot advancement tool being just so happens to
Maybe the first act and a hook with a resolution TBD.
