Second viewing thoughts

[Dieks]

Can't wait for Trek XII where the Enterprise intercepts Admiral Archer's beagle. (Sorry...couldn't resist it <g>)

Here are the last two paragraphs in the movie novelization:

No one was in the transporter room when it unexpectedly and fleetingly energized. The figure that emerged on the pad...no one on the Enterprise could figure out where the beagle with the very peculiar ears had come from.

I swear I did not read the novelization.

Here are the last two paragraphs in the movie novelization:

No one was in the transporter room when it unexpectedly and fleetingly energized. The figure that emerged on the pad closest to the rest of the chamber did not hesitate, but made straight for the nearest open portal. The blip engendered by its appearance was too transitory and insufficient to alert security. It did not matter, because the unexpected arrival's appearance on board caused only consternation and not alarm.

For the life of them, as it sped outsystem and entered warp space, no one on the Enterprise could figure out where the beagle with the very peculiar ears had come from.

So, will Scotty keep it or will that make his other pal jealous? I think that should be the main story focus of the sequel.

Star Trek: The Sirius Imperative--coming to a theatre near you.

(is the novel worth the read--I've found Trek movie novelizations hit or miss over the years)

I heard XM bought the Sirius system and renamed the "Dog Planet" Stern.

I finally got my fiancee to see the movie last night and she said she enjoyed it. I don't think she's won over yet, but she said she'd need to check out the series because she felt like there was stuff she should've known for this movie. I told her you didn't need to know anything to follow the movie, but it sounds like she's just trying to admit that its peaked her interests without giving me the satisfaction of saying I've made her fan!

Anyway, I felt like it held up pretty well on second viewing and have just as high an opinion after the second viewing as I did the first. In fact, I still walked out with the same dumb smile I walked out with after I first saw! Maybe I'll see it again!
