Congrats! Couldn't be more deserved.

Now, if you'll allow me to bust out an old chestnut format:

There once was a gal from UK
who had so much to say
through all her work, rose like captain kirk
to a galaxy far far away.

The Kirk is maybe just too effeminate sounding and looks like he is wearing Spanx.

OMFG, kill the audio. Totally ruined the cute.

Not even talking about the sound quality, just what's on the TV.
Cannot un-hear.

Cpt Kirk Battle Theme would be good.

I studied English and Philosophy in school and have continued reading a lot of utopian/dystopian literature since. My familiarity with economics and economic history pales in contrast, but the close relationship with subjects I am interested in has caused me to spend some time and consideration learning what I can.

That said, when I see a video like this I lump it into the same pseudo intellectual/science/news that things like Bill O'Reilly, TYT, Kirk Cameron, Creationists and bigots bring to mind.

Why did I watch this? Well I'm open to listening to legitimate and informative critiques of socioeconomic systems. If they are particularly good it can lead to all sorts of follow up questions and inquiries. I get bored while i'm "slaving" away at work so I put things on in the background...

Then there videos like this. There are very few facts throughout the entire video. The analogies used are misleading. The terrible acts and downfalls of groups, individuals, or particular ideologies are often blown out of proportion entirely. There is no nuanced investigation, no insights, nothing but a self satisfied narrator with droll delivery.

Thanks for rummaging through my videos for dead links. I'll pass on using my downvote on this video.

I am anot a fan of this series in any fashion. This kirks voice is terrible....McCoy is not done right and Doohans son really fouls it up. Spock is also very unbelievable. I do enjoy the persons who play Sulu and Chekov.. There are other, far better, actors who portray ST in other fan films that do a great job. I did enjoy the return of Apollo. Something done by other fan films already( previous actors like Takei and Koenig and Crosby. there is plenty of room in the ST Universe for this show and I am sure many enjoy it....

Meet the USS Zumwalt, a next-gen ship run by Linux and captained by James Kirk.

If a hacker named Khan assumes control over the ship, do you think it'll mark the emergence of Cthulhu?

General Chang: "To be or not to be?" That is the question which preoccupies our people, Captain Kirk. We need breathing room.

Captain James T. Kirk: Earth, Hitler, 1938.

That's how we roll.

Well, it IS just a preview, but I kinda see your point. But movies are fantasy. Big budget movies require big audiences, and one way to bring them (and me) in is to make movies like this. I, for one, enjoyed the hell out of the previous movie (think I'll watch it on BluRay right now), and I have no doubt I'll love this one.

Is character development really needed for characters we've known for over 45 years? Granted, new actors will portray them a little differently, and the reboot takes place earlier than TOS. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find myself wanting for more character exposition after the last movie. Hell, I thought they did an awesome job of introducing each character and laying out their individual personalities and quirks.

My least favorite of all the Star Trek series was TNG. I dug it, but it would be at the bottom if I had to rank them. I dunno, too idealist and preachy, maybe. JFC, I think Picard referred to the Prime Directive at least once an episode. Some episodes just bored me to death. I wanted every episode to be Enterprise vs. the Borg. I much prefer Kirk kicking a Gorn's ass, or fighting alongside Abe Lincoln, or in pursuit of the Praetor's finest flagship, or battling Apollo or "General Trelane, Retired". TOS was often campy, but always fun, and that's how I prefer my Star Trek.


Edit: Noted that you were speaking more generally about movies nowadays, and I'm speaking specifically about Star Trek.

Really? Two movies into the reboot and they're already playing the "destroy the enterprise" card?

FFS, when they did it in the original movies, it meant something. It had been Kirks ship for years.

Meh, I dunno, J.J. Abhrams... I'm not hopeful.

Except... Captain Kirk.

What does Captain Kirk have to say about families in Syria? "Get a Life!"

CNN just Shatt all over that transition.
