Star Trek: Into Daffitude

[browngirl]

I had a really lovely day with WD today. He took me into the sunshine, on necessary errands, to dinner with WG, and to see STID.

... I kind of wish I'd seen it in five minute Youtube chunks. There were so many moments of awesomeness studded into a matrix of nonsensical plot and stupid character decisions, it was like a chocolate chip cookie made of gourmet chips and mud for the batter.

I did entertain WD and WG with my post-movie ranting, though.

Well, io9 did also say that Trek had previously always tried to make the science believable, which made me gesticulate at the screen and say "What!?" a lot. But most of their other criticisms were spot on, yes.

(And, once I got over the fact that they were having that discussion where/when they were having it, well -- it was a great scene.)

The rest of it-- well, the fact that everyone spends So Much effort in order to bring Khan back for trial, and then they Khansicle him without (AFAIK) a trial, is basically a microcosm of all the rest of the logic and plot holes wandering around

Amaebi has explained Curate/Parson's Egg for me; sorry, I assume everyone knows my not-pop-culture references.

No, no, it was a good metaphor, used independently by several others in describing this movie, so I was wondering.

(And I agree so much.)
