My close personal.. gah.. buddy boritom rants on the utter stupidity of hacking on the new Star Trek movie based on physics. This is brilliant, folks, and you might not want to watch this at work.

The real utter stupidity comes from the Fanboys who are trying to whine about the new movie based on OLD CONTINUITY. "But Kirk was originally assigned to the USS Farragut before he went to the Enterprise! And Robert April was the first Captain of the Enterprise! And..."

That sounds like Dr Who fans and canon. :)

But with Who there's no ATTEMPT to have a consistent canon, so I've heard less fanwankery there. Not that there ISN'T any, of course there is, but unlike Trek, Who is a show that started out as a children's entertainment program and has kept the basic burden -- and the basic ADVANTAGE -- of that start all the way through the present day. So it still gets to use Saturday Morning Adventure Cartoon logic any time it wants to.

I live my life on Saturday Morning Adventure Cartoon Logic, probably why Doctor Who is my favorite SF series. :)

When SF fans complain that "the physics" of something is wrong, it's usually because they want to demonstrate how much physics they know, not because they particularly hate the movie. It's kind of a geek ego thing.
