amazing_holly's first trip to the cinema being such an amazing film? PRICELESS.

So, yeah, we spent our lottery winnings on going to see the new Star Trek film. And at some bits Holly had to hold my hand. And at some bits we hugged. And at some bits we giggled. And when they hid behind Titan and came up through the clouds and you could see Saturn she said it's SATURN! I LOVE SATURN! But best of all was at the end when we were hugging each other and going YAYYYYYY!!! and Leonard Nimoy said Space. The final frontier....

Oh man, that was amazing. And as the credits rolled she started sniffling, and tears rolling down her face, and I asked her what was wrong. She said I'm sad it's over, mummy!

That's my girl.

Oh yeah, matgb and I really enjoyed it too. Might be a proper review later when I come down from my high.

:D

That's great - both that the film's good (TOS is the only Star Trek I'm hugely fond of) and that she enjoyed it so much.

(I was reminded of her at the Who convention I went to the other week, BTW - there was a seven-year-old girl sat in the front row whose question to Sophie Aldred was "You were the first person I ever wanted an autograph of. Who was *your* first autograph?")

Holly loves Ace. We might have to get more McCoy era who DVDs when we have some money. I only have RotD.

I LIKE other Trek, but I LOVE TOS. I used to watch it with my dad. We used to get relegated to the dining room to watch it on the little black and white telly while my mum watched the news. I wish we'd have taken him with us to see this.

Feel free to ask to borrow any of mine - I've got Survival and Fenric as well, and I have Ghostlight and Silver Nemesis as .avis which I could burn you (I still have to get The Museum Of Curiosity to you at some point, don't I?)

(Survival would be a better one than Fenric for Holly - tiger people and the Master are much more exciting than EvilevilfrombeyondthedawnofTIME! and Nicholas Parsons).

I can *watch* TNG or Voyager (and in fact I think Voyager's the only one where I've seen every episode) but TOS *IS* Trek to me, and everything else is fanfic, from the pretty good (TNG) to the appaling (DS9). Much like my opinions of Who, actually.

* nodnod *

Of the newer ones Voyager is definitely my fave, and I can watch TNG quite happily, and I find DS9 really DULL.

Once again we appear to have the same brain. Star Trek should be about seeking out new life and new civilisations and boldly going where no man/one has gone before. Not negotiating Ferengi/Cardassian border treaty dispute resolution sessions, or father/son bonding...

IAWTC.

Heh, of all the new Trek, DS9 is my favourite. Then, I never really was a big Trek fan, Babylon 5 or Blake's 7 were much more my thing.

I shall pretend I didn't hear that ;)
