A play-by-play of the show by Anyacat would be much more enjoyable if she came dressed as Star Treks Lt. Uhura.

Star Trek's Lt. Uhura sucks face with a very willing Spock in the new Star Trek.

The new Star Trek looks awesome but I probably won't see it until it comes out on DVD because these days you need a home equity loan to take a large family like mine to the movie theater.
We do however have one of the last remaining Drive In theaters in our area not too far from us and it's a lot more affordable for a family than your standard multiplex so I will have to check the listings to see if it's playing there.

The movie theater where I first kissed a girl is now a discount tire store. :-\
To the fair and lovely anyacat: the actor who plays the original Spock prefers his name to be spelled Nimoy, not Nemoy. It's a small thing (not as egregious as, say, calling the character Spork), but Nimoy's name is a pretty big part of the opening credits from the original Star Trek series. I hope you haven't been fast-forwarding over Alexander Courage's great opening theme.

A discount store is apparently where I belong these days.
(Oddly, you're right and I'm not sure how I did that because I do know the actor's name--I mean it's on the Star Trek credits and all. But I have finally figured out what's been bothering me about the new, improved, more bombastic Star Trek: It is the end of the old franchise. It's over, there will never be another time when the original cast will come creaking along with their walkers. And although I think I knew that with the deaths of James Doolin, but especially DeForest Kelly, it never seemed final until now. Yes, the Kirk character is killed at the end of Star Trek Generations, but it felt like the passing of a torch, not the end of the original series, certainly not in the way I felt in at the end of the new, improved, more bombastic Star Trek. I suppose that's a result of Leonard Nimoy's the coda and the end: "Space! The final frontier.... Finally, after 40 years the ride is over. Although I am not really a trekkie or trekker, the past few days of obsession excluded, I loved the original series because of the characters, most especially Spock, and it's crazy semi-intellectual take on everything. Roddenberry was never as good as he thought, but he limited as he was he did, for a short time, give us something to capture the imagination. Meanwhile, this new movie is one of those that MUST be seen on the big screen, because when the images are reduced down you will notice the script flaws and plot holes.)

Everything from vintage clothing to quality furnishings and more can be found at thrift stores, but be aware that not all thrift stores are created equal; that is some are little more than junk shops stocked with yard-sale leftovers, broken items, or things that people dropped off because it was closer than the local landfill.

The local landfill will be receiving boat loads of portable analog televisions that can't be hooked up to a converter box on June 12th.
I,m referring to those small hand held tvs that don't have a external hook up for cable or antenna.

On June 12th, the ads say, television is changing for the better, and if they live up to that promise, I'll just stand back, admire, and say "It's about time!"
The name of the program Silkie is thinking of was the same as the first three words of the theme song.
Too easy to remember a song title by its first three words is an idea that reminds me a little bit of Occam's Razor.
Anyacat said:
Cat, honey, it's James DOOHAN, not Doolin. Are you SURE you watch the show? ??? ;D
Occam's Razor was not something I was familiar with at all so I turned to our good friends at Wikipedia and they say that 'the principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory'.
So there. :-\

The observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory, sounds like something Spock might say while on a date.
(Jeeze, I'm typing too fast or thinking too slow, what is it with names these days?)

On a date with Olivia Newton-John, we would get "Physical", create a little "Magic", I'd tell her "You're the One that I Want" and she'd say "I Honestly Love You".
I honestly love you is the song she used to sing me to sleep with, even if she didn't know she was doing it.
