saffiterRight, so I was about to head to bed when I thought "Hey, isn't Star Trek supposed to be coming out at Christmas???". So, I did a quick swing by Youtube to see if I couldn't find the trailer and Jackpot. One full-length, non-teaser trailer *bouncy*bouncy*bouncy*
And before you all start going "Wait! Hang on a second, I thought she was a Star Wars fan..." I have a bit of a confession to make...
... I'm a huge fan of both.
*Queue horrified gasps from the Star Wars and Star Trek camps*
I grew up in a household that adored all things sci-fi. I love Star Trek, and we, being my mother and I (I blame my mother for most of my Sci-fi fannishness, my adoration of Harrison Ford and Sean Connery, a love of James Bond, and the absolute adoration of Indiana Jones. She introduced me to pretty much all of it) would watch all the Star Trek movies whenever they were on TV, and we'd never miss an episode. We even giggled our way through TOS Cartoon. Same with Star Wars, if it was on TV then we'd watch it (until they got me the box set for my birthday one year...and then they started getting me the Star Trek videos... see, this was before DVD's became mainstream). I can remember the very first episode of TNG showing on TV. I was allowed to stay up late for it. They showed the pilot of the original series and everything!
Actually, I can pretty much trace back most of my sci-fi fannish ways to my mother (to the point of the stuff she used to let me watch when I was a toddler... Transformers, for example).
I got my revenge by hooking her on Stargate years later (to the point that we'll put a disc on and before we know it we've watched an entire box and the day is pretty much over. We're left blinking and wondering a) where'd the rest of the box go? and b) where'd the day go?) *grins evilly*
... I can blame my Dad for the love of Fantasy, though. And Tolkien. My dog-earred, beaten, and much read copy of the Hobbit, and my old, beaten up copies of the LOTR trilogy used to belong to him (used to, because I stoleded them! Muwahahahahahahahahaha!).
But anyway, I'm digressing (bad habit, sorry!). The awesomeness that is Star Trek. For it is awesome in so many ways!
I have now seen the trailer (small Youtube trailer, but I've seen it).The first few seconds of it had me going WTF?! I thought I'd been had, but no. It's the real trailer! 'twas a little jarring at first, 'cause that's not Shattner or Nimoy, or any of the old crew, but... I got used to it pretty quick. It looks interesting and I cannot wait for it to come out in theatres. It looks shiny! (literally. The inside of the Enterprise is literally shiny)...and it has not one, but two Antipodeans. Karl Urban as McCoy, and Eric Bana as some guy/alien-with-pointed-ears (Romulan?) called Nero.
Unfortunately we now have to wait until May 08 *boo!hiss!*, but oh well. I was looking forward to seeing it when I was in Amsterdam for Christmas (visiting my Uncle from the 21st-28th. Should be interesting as his English is... not so great. It's improved over the years I've known him!).
Right, so. Trailer. I shall shove it under the cut so those of you that haven't seen it and want to watch it can watch it.
Tis Shiny!
