Virtual Birthday Party, Day 2

[wiseheart]

Dear all,

Day 1 of the party has been a great success: 170 comments on 2 pages so far. As agreed, I hereby kick off the second day, so that we won't lose everything like last year, should LJ crash our party again.

Threads of interest can still be commented on, but I ask you to start any new threads here from now on

And now: on with the party!!!

I haven't seen the second one, either. I could have lived with the first one, despite the obvious - and idiotic- Star Wars reminiscences.But then they gave me the Spock/Uhura romance and then blew Vulcan up, so no, no interest in the alternate timeline from my side.

Well, I could have lived without the Spock/Uhura romance too, but didn't object to blowing up Vulcan. If you're going to toally reboot a universe, and let's face it, the Star Trek universe had got to the point where it seriously needed it, then why not go the whole hog?

Because it's a different series sold under the name Star Trek perhaps?
I was already quite mad about what Bermaga did with Trek canon (especially Vulcans) in their dumb "Enterprise" series, but this makes me turn back to the original faster than Spock could say "fascinating".

I thought the decision to blow up Vulcan and make the new timeline radically different was an interesting one, though sad. I've found the Spock/Uhura romance & colonising a new Vulcan have both generated some thoughtful fanfiction. But I can quite see why others might not be interested.

They could have done the blow up Vulcan thing in the 24th century, after the TNG movies. It would have worked the same way, and it wouldn't have f*cked up the timeline and turned canon over.
