I saw it tonight. It sucked.

Why do they have to shoehorn the Borg into every movie nowadays?

I knew it was going to be horrible. I just knew without ever having to weigh any evidence or form any cogent theory as to why!

I thought it was pretty good.
I liked the dance number, and the Borg trying to assimilate Vulcan was interesting, especially when
Only one bit of continuity porn was a bit strange
That makes no sense, and I'm not sure why *that* time travel was required.
But if you think XI and XII are bad, wait for XIII.

How the heck is Laxana Kirk's mother? Was Dharma involved?

You're going to have to permaban this whole forum then.
And don't even LOOK at TNZ.
...but the snowglobe being part of Sylar's Mom's collection was taking it too far. 
In my opinion, J.J. went too far aiming the whole picture at the Comic Book Guy crowd.
Why inflict his fanboy wet dream on the rest of us?
As I suspected, Zach Quinto was hopelessly wooden as Mr. Spock. He was pretty much sleepwalking through the part. Hayden Christensen was a bang-up Captain Kirk, though, and Orlando Bloom got the crotchedy old doc down pat.
Russell Crowe's surprising dual turn as their Klingon adversary, Kang, and his alter-ego, the corrupt Starfleet captain Gank, was inspired. The plot was full of fascinating twists, with Tom Cruise turning in an intriguing, nuanced preformance as Hitler's Dessicated Brain that occasionally threatened to steal the show. And who could forget the endless repetition of electric guitar and triangles that consisted of the film score?

I just thought that the whole sequence involving the Gorn, the Horta and Orion Slave girl was overly gratuitous and wayyy over the top for this movie....

The reason it sucked was obvious: Akiraprise!!!!
I told them William Shatner was too old to play Kirk in his 20s. But noooo, they had to listen to the "fans" who insisted there could be no other Kirk. "Only Shatner can play Kirk! Blah Blah Blah." You can only tighten a girdle so far people!
