This is such an illness. I and a few friends are about to hop in the car and drive 2 hours to see Trek in IMAX. *facepalm*

It's like JJ Abrams took my inner Trekkie denier and killed it 10 ways before it hit the ground. All week I've been binging on TNG (Worf!!), DS9 and "First Contact" waiting for the weekend to come all so I could watch it again.

Seriously though, the movie is becoming like what the LOTR movies were. Like damn events. JJA throws in some of those bizarre made-up languages in the next movie and it will be complete.

That's awesome of your mother, wanting to see it. I just got off the phone with my mom who I spent about 45 mins convincing her to go drag dad to see it. She was certain it would be full of Klingon speech and goofy fight scenes and all I could think is has she not seen a single trailer?? She seriously think they'd spend millions of dollars so Kirk would throw foam rocks at guys in rubber suits??

She's never been too deeply into Trek so I don't think she knows a whole lot beyond a couple of the characters names and hazy childhood memories. Which is probably what's working in the movies favour as far as her wanting to see it goes. We have similar-ish taste in things (she watches Lost and Doctor Who/Torchwood and Robin Hood...) so we usually go to most movies together.
