Hi! Sorry for hopping over but I always like to see with whom I am talking, and finding a few mutual fandoms, I dug a little bit deeper.
I just wanted to say how nice it is to read a positive entry about the new movies for a change. Of course I don't know if your opinion has changed after the second movie, but at a lot of fandom places there is a lot of hate regarding this new timeline and only original Star Trek is considered good Star Trek.
While I am really looking forward to the third next week. It will be actually the first where I will go to the cinema. If someone had told me this one year ago I wouldn't have believed it. Can you believe that I only started to get into Trek fandom one year ago? The new movies made me finally check out the old TOS series. I grew up in Eastern Germany where we didn't have that on our TV screens. I also wasn't much interested in sci-fi anyway, I was more into the Wild West and also Sherlock Holmes.
Then Stargate came along, which I only checked out as I wanted to see what MacGyver was doing these days and which was the first sci-fi series I fell in love with and my first fandom with conventions and fanfictions and everything else.
After it ended I was occupied for years with Torchwood and Doctor Who, and now I am finally exploring the Trek fandom and buying all the action figures I can find.
Somehow I also had managed so far not being aware of Karl Urban, I really only got to know him through these movies and fell in love with him as well.
I'm so lucky to be just in time for the 50th anniversary with all its lovely events! We had William Shatner and Karl Urban among many others here in Germany in May. And Vic Mignogna.
I already converted vjezkova, now I am wondering whether I can convert you as well? ;) Have you heard about "Star Trek Continues"? I have become a huge fan of this. They have rebuilt the original Enterprise studios and are filming "new" old episodes, just in the same way and style and after 5 minutes you don't care anymore that it's not the original actors, as it's all so well done. If you like, check it out here: http://www.startrekcontinues.com/episodes.html
Also nice and quite refreshing that you are showing your face - nice to meet you! Even before looking at your profile, I thought "She looks like an English lady" ;) Here's me - just because I can ;)
