That is why I want him to see it. Griping is part of the tradition and fun of the reboot remake experience and I want to see you snark through Star trek like you do so well Martin :)

Man just the image of Picard in that scene has me laughing. But recall that Picard's Ahab-like obstinance had to be tempered by Alfree Woodard... "You broke your little ships." See the movie, please, if only so I can find a like-minded person who likes Trek's vision and principles to gripe and complain with... :) Sin/Black Galactus --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "Martin Baxter" <truthseeker...@...> wrote: > > Your right to believe and enjoy.

The nature of the show itself allows for far more flexibility in storytelling. The same can be said for Trek, but there are established events that formed the show's collective mythos. IMO, those events are being juggled, solely to make money. Yes, it's the Way of All Things. I don't have to accept it. > > I won't.
