All hail 2009. The year when being a geek, or at the very least loving geeky things, became acceptable and mainstream… maybe even cool. It’s been a long, long time coming (*immense sigh of relief*).

All hail J.J. Abrams the creator of LOST and Star Trek (2009). Thank you for daring to be different and thinking outside of the box just a little bit.

The original Star Trek with William Shatner and its cast has always made me cringe, though I love The Next Generation, Voyager and even Enterprise (because of Porthos – Scott Bakula’s beagle – and the irascible blue Andorans with their cool antennae). So it’s really nice to now have a Star Trek movie based on the original series that I like and can identify with.

And thank you, Chris Pine, for getting over your initial reluctance about taking the the part of Kirk. Oyaka!
