Boldly Went

Hey,

So a million years after everyone else, I finally saw Star Trek last night. It was about as good as I would expect a Star Trek movie to be. Certainly it had enough energy. And sure, lots of gaping plot holes, but, as you may have noticed, it's Trek so I'm not ranting on the internet about it.

There was, however, one small thing that didn't happen that should've:


So, Old Spock, you're going to this Vulcan colony world? Hell no! We're sticking you in this tank, hooking you up to life support and wringing your hybrid brain dry for every last scrap of information we can get on the future. First and foremost, you're going to tell us how to make our own Red Matter because "Hey Klingons, we've got a singularity bomb so back the fuck off." is the most important sentence in the world right now.

Kill Khan when we find him? Check.
Make sure we know what the codes for Voyager are? Check.
Bring back whales? Check.
Borg? Check.

The series I want to see now is the Star Trek equivalent of the MIB where they go around and pre-emptively deal with all the stuff Spock warns them about. But the Feds just don't let old Spock go off on his own.
