Jun. 10th, 2009 01:13 pmWell, series 2 of Star Trek is thoroughly fun so far, I have to say (Amok Time and Mourn for Adonais); I keep snidely muttering things at the screen, like "'It 'im again!" and ( slight spoiler ) and "Artemis would not have been seen dead in a gown like that, actually... Oh, my god, it's utterly backless. Held on by Ancient Greek Boob Tape, I assume," and "Wow, I hope that's due to mind-control, because otherwise she should not have got through Starfleet's psych screening".
(I have seen the odd episode of this before, of course, but not watched them deliberately. General impressions so far: Kirk is a prat, Chekov is sweet, Uhura has more to do than I thought (soldering together a whole new type of comms relay FTW) and is cool, as are Sulu and McCoy, other wimmin are ditzy, the remastering was pretty stupid- replacing not-very-good dated model shots with not-very-good anachronistic CGI doesn't add anything- and altogether it's both mockable and enjoyable for its own self.)
