Well, on May 26th, I turned 35. And so, my hubby took the wee one and I out to see the new "Star Trek" film
Oh. My.
I loved it---not all aspects of it, to be sure. (Hello, Vulcan's sky is *red*, thankyouverymuch.) But the interplay among the characters and the new actors who play them is wonderful. These are, and aren't, the characters we've known and love, and the reboot has some intriguing possibilities.
And as for Spock and Uhura...wow. That works pretty well too. There was always a lot of flirtation among them in the original series---at least, in the early episodes (and before, I suspect, some suit at NBC flipped a grip over the concept of an African-American woman-gasp!-flirting with a half-human/half-alien---GASP!) So it follows over pretty well.
The wee one, however, was somewhat less impressed (though she did really like the Enterprise.) And no, we weren't one of "those" parents--we went to the earliest show, and sat way in the back so we didn't disturb anyone, and kept her supplied with goldfish crackers and munchies to keep her busy. She was pretty good, for the most part, and a good time was had by all. :)

Happy Birthday, Krista! I'm sorry not to be saying that on the actual day. Sounds as though you were well-celebrated. I hoped to go to ST today myself, but it's put off until Tuesday.
I just read What Ravages of Spirit - now I'm really in the mood for the movie!

Hey Carole!! :) Thanks! :))))
Yeah, I had a great time--a little challenging at times, with the wee one, but we made it through. :)
Glad you liked "What Ravages of Spirit"---you have GOT to see the movie. It's awesome. :)
