I just saw the Star Trek movie!

And it was terrific fun, except...



I know why they did it, but I was so disappointed not to see a version of Majel Barrett's Number One. Especially since ... it wasn't like female characters were exactly dominating the screen.

I was completely unspoiled, so I had no idea they were hitting the reset button! My God, that was ... bold.

And it also may have been the first time I liked Zachary Quinto! (I'm sorry, FList, I cannot stand Sylar. I hate him. I recoil when he appears on my screen, such is the depths of my passion. Go on, defriend me now.)

And Chris Pine really struck the right compromise between copying Shatner's mannerisms, and making the character his own.

SOMEONE ELSE WHO HATES SYLAR. //clutches I mean, he's -- he's a deranged serial killer! I cannot find him palatable, let alone hott. He's just so awful.

I not only don't find him hot, I don't want him on my television screen - he repulses me. Not in a "love to hate the interesting villain" way, but in a "I do not want to hear stories about this character" way. Which in some ways is a tribute to Quinto, because I think that's due in part to Quinto's effectiveness and making Sylar so repulsive. But whatever the reason, I want him off my screen.

I felt the same way about Gaius Baltar, actually.

And all three of the original House ducklings. I still can't stand that they're there.
