Solace

[ithildin]

We went and saw A Quantum of Solace this afternoon and absolutely loved it. Also the Trek trailer and am trying to decide if they all look so young because I'm old, and if the original cast would have looked as young to people my age back in the sixties. Haven't come to a conclusion yet.

Waiting for a pizza to be delivered. Hungry.

24 movie tonight!

Beta read a story, and paid some bills, and Nin's trying to get a virus off our laptop. Think we might have picked up via the wireless at the Riviera. It kept redirecting browsers to a porn site, and I'd bet that's where we got it from.

Can't believe it's nearly Monday already.

...am trying to decide if they all look so young because I'm old, and if the original cast would have looked as young to people my age back in the sixties.

I thought the cast for the new movie were supposed to look younger than the TOS crew did in the 60's? That the new crew weren't suppose to be the same; they were suppose to be younger. I though it was suppose to be set pre-pilot in the crew's "Years at the Academy". My Trekkie father keeps grumbling that if it's set in the "Academy Years" it's ignoring canon having them altogether then. Some of them were just meeting for the first time in the first episode.

AFAIK, it's set at the beginning of the Five Year Mission. I haven't been paying a whole lot of attention, but that's my understanding [shrug]

Hmm, I've been reading the articles on it in Entertainment Weekly, and I didn't have the impression it was just a reboot. The answer to the question listed over at IMDb says, "Yes and no. Abrams and the rest of the staff have been playing it close to the vest, but it seems that the main villain Nero's time travel in the movie may have affected the timeline, introducing the canon discrepancies that some purists have noticed. Abrams does, however state that the movie will tie up all canon questions and explain how they are brought in with the Trek lore we do know already."

Doesn't make me feel any clearer. I'll have to look around more.

Ah! That's right, the whole time travel thing. That's as good enough a plot device as any to cover a multitude of sins [g] Thanks for reminding me about that.

You're welcome! I'd forgotten that Leonard Nemoy will be in it as Spock along with Zach. I feel better having poked around enough now to be reminded of that. It won't be Trek in name only. :D
