Oh. Oh, dear.
...I don't think I can pay to see this movie anymore.
I mean, sure, it is probably extremely enjoyable. Yes. And I know the Io9 article was very tongue in cheek. But still. You know?
Besides, I heard it was very loud and literally irritating in theaters and my hypersensitivity with sensory processing disorder hates that.

Now, with the first movie, Adam and I were able to facepalm and repeat "It's just fiction, it's just fiction... OW MY SCIENCE. It's okay, it's okay, it's just fiction... OW MY PHYSICS." And after we stopped comforting each other and rocking back and forth (I kept stroking his hair and whispering "It's okay, sweetie, emphasis on the fiction...") we were able to giggle about it and be amused overall and say it was a very highly enjoyable film for what it was, because a lot of stuff was still very very awesome. But with "Into Darkness"... I dunno, guys. I don't know. Someone please tell me why the movie is awesome enough to love? I want to enjoy it despite all the crazy motherfucking flaws mentioned. But... you know... ow, my science?

To make myself laugh really hard, I shall just enjoy this commercial for the ninth time.

Not sure if the movie is one to LOVE, but if you like Spock Prime and Spock junior, there is a scene in Star Trek Into Darkness that you will really enjoy. :)

Happy anniversary!

Oh, can you spoil me for that scene? :)

Well, you might know that this film is a sort of alternate universe take on Wrath of Khan. Spock jr. ends up calling Spock Prime for advice on how to defeat Khan, which I particularly found touching since Spock died at the end of Star Trek II (note that the Genesis project was not very scientific either)

Oh, I heard about that. I know that this is an alternative universe timeline, which is why I've been confused by all the old-school fans whining about it.
