So yes... I'm going to post again about Star Trek Beyond, because, well, I can't help it :) I should be working on homework but I can't get this great movie off my mind. Over the last year I have watched all the Star Trek series except one and all the reboots. Maybe a little obsessively, but there was a certain draw to them besides my love for space, my desire to someday explore the final frontier and some of the best writing for TV I have yet to enjoy besides "Call the Midwife" and "Downtown Abbey." This something or maybe better put somethings plural, was the community, teamwork and friendships that are portrayed in the Star Trek universe. Series after series started out with a crew that had nothing in common, except that they were in starfleet. Yet by the middle of the first season they were a team, and by the end of that first season they were starting to establish friendships, and then they were a thriving community by the end. Yes there were conflicts amongst the crew members, but that's life. By the end of every series I would cry through the last episode for sure and maybe the second to last one as well ;/ Star Trek Beyond captured that very same feeling in just over 2 hours. There's one seen with Spock and Bones where literally I was laughing and crying so hard. Laughing because the dynamics between those 2 is just so wonderful and perfectly timed and captured, but crying because the emotion that was packed into the scene was perfectly intense. Kudos to Karl Urban and Zachary Quinto for an excellent performance. Anyway. Have a great rest of your summer. Live long and prosper. #startrek #startrekbeyond #bones #imadoctornotanegineer #spock #livelongandprosper #zacharyquinto #leonardnemoy #karlurban #deforrestkelley #icantgetenoughstartrekinmylife #whowillgowithmetospace #mysenseofadventureisstrongandgrowing
Well by now I have watched all of the Star Trek series and all the movies except for 4 of them. Yes I love Star Trek and what I said in the above Facebook post.
