From The Walking Dead to Supernatural. I just couldn’t resist… :green28

Attention Trekkies & Trekkers:

I have a confession to make…

I am not one of you. :green24

That’s probably not so hard to believe, considering I rarely (never?) talk about Star Trek-related characters, issues, & what not, & that I rarely (never?) post Star Trek-related Friday Funnies.

But would it surprise you to hear that I don’t think I’ve ever seen even one episode of Star Trek?  Not the original, not The Next Generation, not Deep Space Nine, & none of the movies.

It’s not that I dislike futuristic stuff.  I mean, hel-lo?  Diehard Browncoat Firefly fan over here!  And I absolutely loved the short-lived Space Rangers, if anybody remembers that show. :green4

But it may have something to do with the fact that I strongly dislike William Shatner.  I’m sorry, I know many of you—especially if you’re a huge Star Trek fan—find that blasphemous, but he’s always bugged the heck out of me.  I can’t even stand to watch him on those Priceline commercials. :green3

Now, though, they have these new Star Trek movies with the cutie patooty Chris Pine in the role of James T.,  & this may just be a Captain Kirk I can wrap myself around.  (Literally, figuratively—take your pick. :green7 )

So I’ve done something rather out of the ordinary…you know, for me.  I’ve recorded both Star Trek & Star Trek: Into Darkness on the DVR & I’m actually thinking of…gasp!…watching them.  Soon.

What do you think—will I like them? :green15

Will I really like them, so much that I end up kicking myself for not watching sooner? :green21

Or will I end up rolling my eyes & giving up after fifteen or twenty minutes? :green9

Whether you’re a die-hard Star Trek fan or have maybe just seen the movies for random entertainment purposes, let me know what you think of the films.  But ***NO SPOILERS***—I’ve gotta go into them with a totally open mind & zero expectations. :green8
