To Boldly Go...

The past few days have seen the minor godlet do some major trekking. Reading went out of the window as the class (those who wanted to) got into the mood with a group visit to the Star Trek movie - and it blew their minds! Some are going back for a second helping just to make sure they picked up the nods to all the tv series - a reference to Admiral Archer's beagle suggested there should be plenty of gems for the finding - and in a desperate attempt to try and untangle the plot. Apparently the storyline seems fine until you try and explain it to a stranger, when it all falls apart (as things do).

The verdict of the female viewers tended to be that there was rather too much fighting, and that the young Spock was heartbreakingly gorgeous once you got used to his not being Leonard Nimoy. But what was all that nonsense with Uhura? As if she could ever have got it on with Mr Shatner once she'd melted the heart of the icy Vulcan.

We did say at the start of this post that the movie visit was just a preliminary - details next time of the star-trek-weekend-total-immersion-experience. We can hardly wait!
