I admit that Star Trek, the original series and the first few movies were my favorites.  I was a fan of the original series way back.  My favorite movie was The Wrath of Kahn.  It showed the fortitude of the crew and harkend to the fact that they didn't just use muscle and fire power, they used their heads and out-thought Kahn.

These are things that Obama cannot do.  He went to Harvard but is no intellectual.  He  cannot learn from his mistakes because he doesn't believe he has ever made any.  Kirk, on the other hand, continually realized his mistakes and learned from them which is why he became such a great starship captain.

There is no comparison between the crew of the Starship Enterprise and the current Administration.  The former stands for courage, strength, and accountability, the latter for blaming everything on someone else.  

Obama needs to realize that even if he were three months old when the Bay of Pigs happened, now that he is president, it rests squarely on his shoulders as does everything else any president has ever tried and succeeded or tried and failed before him.

<GEEK> but even as of the previews, when they show the building of the Entrprise with carbon arc welders...did no one read the source material? Is it more important to "reimagine" old properties instead of new ones? I'm lookin' at you, "Battlestar Galactica"! Seeing a pampered Kirk running cars off of cliffs only dampened my enthusiasm further. <\GEEK>

What has "journalism" come to? They must be getting talking points for the Garofelo Institute for Galactically Incompetent.  

"Gone is the gloom"? You would swear these Lefties had just been released from the Gulag after having rubbed elbows with the likes of Sakharov & Soljenitsin for the last eight years. Pull your head out Craine then you might see the light.

"conceived before the rise of Barack Obama,
taps into the optimism of his presidency", yeah well the Germans were as optomistic at the rise of Hitler because he promised Hope & Change as well

When the musical "Annie" first debuted way back in the seventies, I read somewhere that the creator of it was quoted as saying when he first started writing it, he meant it as an "antidote" to the "bleakness" of the Nixon/Ford years, but once Jimmy Carter was elected, he meant it as a "salute" to the new "hope" and "optimism" that Carter was bringing. A few years later, after we all knew that Carter was a disaster, I thought about that producer's pompous claim and wondered if Little Orphan Annie was somewhere crying her little blank eyes out...

Fist of all, the last Star Trek movie took about four years to make when it was released in 2002, so how can it be a post-9/11 movie if it was being written during the last years of the Clinton administration? I heard that among Star Trek fans, it was pretty lousy anyway, so no love was really lost. Love was only lost with the Enterprise series ("Way to tarnish the franchise, Bakula!".)

I'm still going to see the new Star Trek anyway, especially after that story about the cast and crew meeting with our soldiers in Iraq. I was just salivating over that new Starship Enterprise they showed off in the commercials.

Incidentally, I saw Spider-Man 3 on DVD, and the main problem I had with it was that there were too many villians he had to fight, thereby diluting the whole narrative of the movie.
