And good point re Kirk. And I guess we have to assume that he at least knew the atmosphere was breathable.

Re Winona Ryder: she can shoplift my clothes anytime.

Re Kirk, how consistent with his character would it be for him to sit in an escape pod for days/weeks/months to await pickup? Remember that he thinks the earth is getting blown up right about now and oh yeah the entire Starfleet armada has been decimated…leaving whom to save him? The bigger fail is why he wasn’t thrown in the brig but jettisoned on an ice planet for insubordination. There had to be a better way to meet Spock…

Agree on the Eric Bana fail. Actually feel the Romulans as tattooed Nosferatu was a tired, uninspired design. Someone got paid for that?

Meh on Simon Pegg as Scotty. Old Scotty was an ENGINEER…new Scotty is a comic relief grease-monkey. I do like new Scotty’s little alien sidekick, though!

Overall enjoyed it and look forward to the sequel!

P.S. Winona Ryder as older lady = still hot!

And the skirts were actually a big improvement on the women’s uniforms from the 60s TV show. And civil rights icon or not, I blame Nichelle Nichols, who’s basically said it was her idea that the skirts should facilitate flashing the captain as much as possible. As Patsy once said on Absolutely Fabulous, “With a snap of my fingers I can raise hemlines so high the world’s your gynecologist.”
