Anticip......................ation

I just found out the new Star Trek movie is in production. It sounds like it picks up where the last movie with Kirk left off. I don't know much of the chronology of how each series fits in with the other and how the movies fit in, but I loved Star Trek: Enterprise with Scott Bakula as Captain Jonathan Archer. It was about the time before Kirk and Spock. At one point they travelled into their future and donned the silly uniforms of the Old School Star Trek, it was pretty funny. They looked around Kirk's Enterprise and oohed and ahhed about the advanced technology, even though the effects and set on the newer series was way cooler. It had more to do with the human and human-alien interaction on an interpersonal level, and within the ship, and not as much to do with the actual exploration and cheesy effects of the other shows. In watching the last episode of Enterprise, when two characters dealt with the death of their child, I actually got choked up! I didn't want that series to end,it was my Cheers, I guess. As Bryan will tell you, I didn't give much of a crap for the other ones. I did have a dream once, though, that I was on a date with Jean-Luc Piccard. We went to K-Mart. Sexy, no?
