I suppose it's long gone, huh?<br /><br />Maquis, DS9 was my least favorite series. I think the reason I didn't like it was because they didn't go anywhere. Hmm, kind of similar to what I didn't like with this movie. And how do you have FTL communication between a planet and a FTL space ship? That's the part IC.J.

That's what you have to do with fantasy. Science fiction is just that - based in science. Do we have FTL travel? No, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. A couple hundred years ago the thought of breaking the sound barrier was insane, and yet here we are.

And yes, I loved it. They did a great job casting this reboot. I love all the interactions - although I was a little taken aback by the Spock/Uhura matchup. <br /><br />The Enterprise underwater?
