we're (Trek, that is) on Newsweek!

Let it be noted that the people who first brought up the political references in the article in order to comment upon them provocatively were the right-wingers - as usual. They just can't leave this stuff alone.

It’s the Spock plot strands that give the new “Trek” its best shot at once again commanding the zeitgeist. Spock’s cool, analytical nature feels more fascinating and topical than ever now that we’ve put a sort of Vulcan in the White House. All through the election campaign, columnists compared President Obama’s unflappably logical demeanor and prominent ears with Mr. Spock’s. But as Spock’s complicated racial backstory is spun out in detail in the new “Trek”—right back into childhood—the Obama parallels keep deepening.

Anything to kiss Obama's ass.

Same here! why is he being called a Pedo? that's a very serious claim to make!

 

[indranee]

no reason. supposedly, he looks like one

the crazies are coming out of the woodworks now that it's almost May 7/8th

look at my comment (#83), then #89. the initial pedo comments have been since deleted by Anthony, I think.

Oooh, it's about the B&W posters. Apparently his stare is "pedo-like".

Look though, he got donations from Carpenter Street, perhaps it's true.

WOW! huffingtonpost, ya that's an unbiased news source!

I thought it was reliable enough for a lame joke attempt.

And enough politicizing, everyone; we have forums appropriate for that, and this ain't one of them.

Star Trek... on the cover of Newsweek... in the grocery-store checkout line, right in front of the eyeballs of Joe and Josephine Public. That's what the thread is about.

 

[Cyrus]

A lot of weird comments in this thread.

Star Trek making the cover of Newsweek is super cool.

 

[Jbarney]

I agree. I have not had a chance to see the article, and I am not a regular reader of Newsweek, but I will pick it up now.

Go ahead and try... ~Bleah~ I just stopped at a newsie, a grocery store, a Wal-Mart and a CVS. No Newsweek - or TIME, for that matter - anywhere. Either this hasn't been put out yet, or NJ is getting as retarded as the popular joke has always held it is...
