When can we start talking openly about the movie so as to not spoil it for anyone?   I'll just say the casting was genius.   McCoy is by far my favorite. 

 I'm glad Shatner wasn't in it at all.   It'd be like your didn't-quite-get-over-him ex-husband showing up to your wedding...   Ok maybe that's just how'd it be for me.. you get the idea.

 I love how they handled we TOS continuity  police.  You'll see what I mean.
