're-boot' ???? WTF?

Do you wear y-fronts with Luke Skywalker on the front? Why do people have to perpetuate the myth we are all geeks in IT?

Calm down dear...

This term is not exclusive to IT.

Advance word that Abrams’ franchise reboot...

The first reviews of JJ Abrams's reboot of the space saga are in, and they are overwhelmingly positive.

I've heard some of us look like Garry Bushell

Now he looks like a right tw@t. Apparently his alter ego on here is as well according to some friends of mine who know of him.

I'm sure Zeity will be happy in the Kobeyashi Maru scandal gets brought up...

Serious case of denial you've got there

The actor who plays "Bones" is actually Simon Pegg of Shaun of The Dead and Hot Fuzz fame.

For an "avid" fan that's some error!

Scotty is played by Simon Pegg

Bones is Karl Urban IIRC. He was in those tedious films based on The Hobbit computer game, and also Xena. Does knowing that make me a geek?

I've watched a couple of episodes of the original proper Star Trek the last couple of days, and you forget just how good it was. Only the sexual attitudes make it seem dated. This new film (from what I've seen of the trailers), seems to be a special effects / explosions / lots of shouting Hollywood cyncial cash in completely missing the point of what made the series good. In other words: tulipe.

But I might go see it anyway.

It does have the very gorgeous Jennifer Morrison in it though

That, of course, doesn't make up for it not having Me in it...

They missed a trick there...

I preferred the tribbles

Mashup of favourite line from Hot Fuzz in a Star Trek style...

"You want to be a big spaceman in a small universe, **** off up the model universe"

Yay Tribbles rock
They're intergalactic guinea pigs
