While he plays the harp for her, she does a sexy little dance and sings a song about a pointy-eared devil who will steal your heart.

But really that is the whole OS, isn't it? All the women had eyes for all the men. All the women danced around seductively for someone at some point.

I really could care less about the Uhura/Spock thing though. I just think it was overdone with her always literally in his face.

My comments.

Kirk was "hanging over an edge" too many times for my taste.
I didn't like that Spock supposedly dated Uhura- um, not to my knowledge.

The intro scene was too much- oh any second the captain will be killed, any second my son will be born, any second my ship will blow up! I like a little suspense, but please.

Honestly the over-suspense is like in EVERY movie nowadays. I hate it too. It's like they think we have to be having a heart attack to enjoy ourselves.

I've seen moms, even first time moms, who went from grunting to baby in 15 minutes, so I found it plausible.

Good thing she didn't have that epidural or any heavy drugs...they wouldn't have been able to move her as quickly or easily.

That scene about makes me *sob* every time.

me too Funny thing is, we got into the theatre about 5 minutes before that scene (long long line-up and found myself crying even though I had no idea what was happening



If Star Trek hadn't been playing, we would have seen X-men instead

We saw this recently and LOVED it : DH and I are both Trekkies (me a bit more though) and thought it was very well done. Its the first movie in a long time that I keep thinking about over and over after seeing it! I can't wait until it comes out on DVD!

Finally saw this last night and I must say I really loved it. As a huge ST fan (not hard core trekker but I would be if I could) i thought it was quite well done.
