"Speaking of Star Trek"
 
   So since I've started playing STO again and the sinusoidal track that is my interest in Star Trek generally seems to be on the upward curve at the moment, there are a couple of things I'm curious about that I figured I should check with the rest of the class about.

1) Star Trek Into Darkness. I skipped it. Mistake or good call? I know more or less what happens, and even from a fairly detailed synopsis I cannot actually tell where on the excellence/serious injury continuum it falls. The first one somehow managed the interesting, quantum-mechanics-like feat of being at both ends simultaneously, which was interesting but rather stressful. It's out on video now and that gap on the shelf is mocking me. "Come on, you piker," it's saying. "You paid someone a quantity of actual United States dollars for the two-disc DVD version of Star Trek V so that there wouldn't be a hole here, and now you're holding out on something with Benedict Cumberbatch and Peter Weller in it? They've got to be worth watching a movie that also has Chris Pine in it, haven't they?"

2) The Space WelshRihannsu novels. I attempted the first one... gosh... a large number of years ago and found it entirely too precious, but on the other hand, it's not as if the canonical interpretation of the Romulans post-TOS is in any way satisfactory either, so I dunno, it might be worth another look. I've encountered support for them before on these boards, but it seems to me it was rather vaguely stated, and if I'm going to drop more than five dollars per for ebooks (and as an aside, what the fuck is that about?), I want more data.
