I have been so looking forward to this and I was not disappointed. Even got my Hubby Dave to sit and watch it with me and he usually leaves the room and finds something else to do about 10 minutes into any Star Trek or Stargate epp. So that tells me it was different enough from the usual ST.
I agree with earlier posts, I liked the fact that not everything worked properly and that the characters were not sure of this new technology - it had a real current day human feel and these guys are not the squeeky clean 24th century humans who don't know how to yell 'you don't know how hard it is for me not to knock you on your ass' (or words to that effect) at a vulcan ! loved that bit.
Glad we have the cornish pastie headed Klingons - they look much better and for a moment there I thought it was our old mate Worf (or one of his ancestors) - but that would have been just a bit too cheesy and anyway they've done that b4 - Undiscovered country.
Yeah, I think the shower scene was gratuitous, but then on the other hand I'm not complaining that we got to see our Scott in his bright blue underwear - I do lurve that man, always have !
I reckon these characters are going to fit well together, T'pol stands out from the crowd right now, and I can see that the Doc is going to be a lot of fun.
Looking forward to next week :rolly2:
