So we went and saw the new movie. And thoroughly enjoyed it.
... despite a number of obvious plot and technology problems that nitpickers could obsess over, if they were minded to. You have to be willing to suspend disbelief a little.
But how lucky was that, that they found a young actor who looks like a young Leonard Nimoy, and he can raise one eyebrow!
And despite the fab modern CGI spaceships, there were a few tips of the hat to the good old '60s special effects, like the "alien" who is just a girl in her underwear dyed green (the girl, not the underwear) that Kirk ends up snogging at one point. Just like the good old days!
