Weirdly, I want to talk about Star Trek. XD

Basically: KIRK/MCCOY OMG YES. I thought Kirk and Spock had the beginnings of a strong connection and I liked that, but Kirk/McCoy were way cuter.

I couldn't get into Spock/Uhura, because I felt like that's virtually all they gave her to do in the movie. I know she made the translation that set things in motion, but then she spent most of the rest being subject to frequent shots looking The Worried Girlfriend, and not much else, and that was so disappointing. (My friend says that's still more than she got to do on she show, which...really doesn't make anyone sound good.) And on his end, I thought the mom stuff was more effective Proof He Has Feelings. Though the tender way they acted with each other was definitely sweet.

What I mean is that I wanted the movie to be about everything that it wasn't about: namely, Chekov, Scotty, Sulu, and McCoy running around the ship trying to make shit work. Kirk could maybe have a minor role as McCoy's love interest, I dunno. Just gimme more of those other four and I can't really complain.
