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.

Oh, there has to be a Klingons vs. Tribbles joke! One thing this reboot is good for is those small in-jokes!

I wonder how much this Kirk thinks about the other time-line Kirk. He knows that his father lived to see him become a starship captain in the other time-line. He knows Kirk & Spock were very close in that time-line. He wasn't there when Spock asked Spock-Prime about Khan, and I suspect he tends to not dwell on the alternative, but I wonder how much he thinks about it.

And I loved how John Cho pulled that bit with Sulu off. He said it was the first time he'd taken the command chair and the hesitation showed, and then boom, he turns on the confidence and threat when it's needed. It works, awesomely!
