Sci-Fi Shenanigans

Something for which we can be thankful

Yeah, I know I've been terrible about posting in this blog this year. I admit I've been channeling more energy into my photo blog and trying to make my entries here a little more substantial. After all, I am a quality over quantity kind of girl. That said, I must write this entry to celebrate the fact that the new Star Trek movie is set to start filming on January 15, 2012. What is this entry? A veritable Star Trek link dump! Damn right. I am going to give you lots of Trek-related links to browse because they just seem to be everywhere these days (maybe as a far from subtle hint to J.J. and company that the fanboys/girls are getting restless). Actually, that parenthetical statement is a good place to kick off this hyperlink festival.

A general musing on turnaround time for sequels of genre movies  
Stepping stones to building a true classic  
The opening act for the day S.P.O.C.K. starts touring again?  
I think the rest of this is worth seeing, if only the clip wasn't so short  
Looks a hell of a lot better than most music today  
Benicio Del Toro? Really? I have my doubts.  

And now we're apparently waiting for the movie until 2013. Some people claim that a lot of fans have moved onto other things. I think the ones with short attention spans probably have, but I suspect there are more fans that initially watched 11 and decided to fully board the Star Trek train, embracing all of its incarnations in some way. Star Trek endures, and I for one am willing to wait for the next movie. After all, I'd rather they take their time to make a good movie. They better bring their A game, though, if they really want to impress this quality-over-quantity girl.
