Finally got around to seeing Star Trek: Into Darkness. Don't laugh. Sometimes things get in the way.

-I realize they're a dead horse at this point, but dammit I never get tired of redshirt jokes. Especially the one where (I think?) the nameless guys who had to take their red shirts off survived their away mission.

-I WANTED MORE KLINGONS.

-Dear Karl Urban: are you actually DeForest Kelley?

-I love that the soundtrack is still a raving fanboy. OMG EVERYBODY THIS IS A STAR TREK MOVIE AND I AM THE SOUNDTRACK! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS I MIGHT JUST DIE

-Khan is still a lame villain. There, I said it.

I wouldn't mind other old villains, but after two movies in a row they really need to stop mining Wrath Of Khan for material. I want some Mudd or some Gamesters of Triskelion or some damn thing that doesn't have jack to do with that one admittedly good movie.

Hell, I'd even take V'ger if they could pull it off. (They wouldn't be able to pull it off)

I keep wanting a "Wrath of Mudd" movie!
Who would you cast as Mudd?
You meaning whoever wants to answer!

They made a Mudd joke in the film--they confiscated that trading ship during the "Mudd incident." I guess the prequel comic has some more references.

Aside from the Klingons, I want to see less villainy and more of the other bits of the show--I'd love to see some stuff with the Horta. And I admit, I'm curious to see how they'd handle an "Amok Time" storyline Given that the Vulcan population is so small at this point, that could be interesting.
