The NRA Is A Blight On This Earth. Period!

I just put a comment in the like section by mistake. Please go read it. I will say that I totally agree with your comments. Wanted to say that new trek is wonderful, and don't understand the lukewarm reception that Chris Pine gets. He was born to play James T. Kirk. These so-called Trekkies seem to forget the message of Spock's IDIC. And also how tacky [I know I sound like a broken record] the original Trek could be, and how Shatner's over acted, and how bad the first season of Next Generation was. I have been a Trekkie since seeing the first episode of original Trek. There had been nothing like this on TV- a science fiction program that explored not only space, but the moral issues facing our times. I know this dates me, but I've seen everything in the Trek universe through both new movies and can't wait for Beyond.

Ahhh, that post with the gifs is so gorgeous! \*-*/ You're wonderful (also I was reading your tags and am filled with love for them. XD I'm so tired of all the unfair hate new Trek gets too. So many people pretending they're morally superior by irrationally hating on it while ignoring all the plot holes in the past. I adore classic Trek, I'm a lifetime fan, but I can't stand this BS fake elitism from the people who hate any new Trek regardless of quality etc. It's depressing. So yay for love!)

Thank you for saying this, love! <333

Yes. All these years AOS gets so much hate to a point I think people just bash it out of habits. For what purposes? They made it very clear that AOS sets in a different timeline and also in today’s market. While I appreciate the beauty of TOS, they were cast for small screens. You wouldn’t expect to see big explosions all the time in there. And as the days go on, TOS films did get bigger and more action-y. That’s just how movies work. It’s just not fair to compare AOS and TOS. Can’t we love them both at the same time? 

I think AOS is doing a good job of attracting new fans in the Star Trek franchise. And let’s be honest, they are quite decent films. I love watching them and I am so hype for the new movie. All three trailers by far are fantastic. I just don’t understand people hating them because they use rock music (come on that’s a reference to the first movie) or Jim riding a motorcycle is too Fast and Furious (like, what? He rode motorcycle in the first one and what do you expect him to do?) or Enterprise is blown up again (I mean… they are in space and if explosions happen, you can’t expect the space ship can dodge the bullet, right?)

The condescending hate is not the moral of Star Trek .

Chris Pine. No contest!

Who wore it better?

This is absolutely hysterical!

When I was a student at Boston University, I’d see a beautiful Afghan sitting in a tiny convertible Triumph parked in front of the Liberal Arts building. She’d just sit there quietly, being gorgeous. This happened decades ago and I still think of her.

This photo is amazing. One of the best shots from Into Darkness. Does anyone have Chris Pine in this scene from another angle?

Chris Pine is the best Chris!

And so can Chris Pine!!!

unpopular opinion but

can we just have a complete Star Trek AOS reboot that stays true to the original characters with new actors?

Except for Karl Urban. He can stay. 

This speech! Talking truth to power.

YETIDE BADAKI AS NEERA KETOUL IN STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS - 2.02 - AD ASTRA PER ASPERA

I'm an old Trekkie, and I just don't get all the vitriol aimed at the new movies. I saw the original first episode in Sept, 1966 and just love the new movies. I was a total Leonard Nimoy/Spoke fan and now love, love the new cast- especially Chris Pine. He was born to play James T Kirk. Don't know why he gets such grief. What he said about burying the message- the cerebral bits within the action is right on point. Otherwise, how do explain the failure of The Finest a Hours in the wake of the mediocre Superman vs Batman and it's ilk. Infuriates me. Audiences have been numbed by all the comics and video game action. Action and noise are now how movies are measured. And the Star Trek universe was filled with shot-um-ups and the Enterprise being damage and destroyed [twice]. So called fans seem to have very short memories, maybe from all the noise of action films. There were deep moral discussions in Into Darkness, but guess they didn't want to recognize them.

gtakei just fanning the hardcore antijj trekkies madness at this point. i had this epiphany last night through reading some of these people’s comments. they constantly insist trek should only be cerebral, and damn the rest of fans who wouldn’t care, cause the hardcore trekkies WOULD. and it hit me, they don’t WANT trek to be mainstream. they want it to be their private little club. its hipsterism at its very worst.

old school trekkies are legit the worst. they want trek to be like how they remember from either tos or tng and refuse to move forward. they hate abrams verse and anything new and will probably hate the new show too. the new tv series can be the best thing ever and they will still probably hate it if it has one too many explosions or cgi because those arent authentic to the ‘real’ (what does that even mean??) star trek. and takei is just bitter for some reason idek. i just lost respect for him because 90% of his followers are just like him and hate anything new. and takei can hate all he wants, i dont care, but dont fucking diss the franchise that gave you fame less than a month before the new movie comes out and a week after the cast went through a horrible trajedy cause you want some clicks and thumbs ups. fuck him. 

Noooooooooo!

why do i stan a trio of eggs
