Writing In Twilight

So I'm at 188 of 312 pages and there's so much I don't remember from the draft version. It's really fun reading and getting the feel for this all over again.

( spoilers, Obvs. )

Okay, from the beginning, I feel it's incumbent on me to note that I am not a Trekkie, a Trekker, or a Star Trek fan. You can count on one hand the number of Star Trek episodes I have watched, and that includes part-episodes, scenes caught while channel-surfing, and the collective addition of episode seconds I have glimpsed while passing a TV tuned to the series.

So why the hell did I go to the Star Trek premiere? Mostly because I liked the look of the trailer, I liked the idea of a 're-imaging' of the series, and, let's face it, Zachary Quinto is dreadfully hot for someone who is best-known for playing an over-eyebrowed serial killer on television.

If I've gotten any of the terms, races, descriptions, or craft wrong, I sincerely apologise, and reiterate: I am not a Trek fan.

I've divided this review up into two segments. The first is a generic overview of the story. I haven't given away the key plot, but I will be describing the basics of the story. The second segment will be in my next post and will feature specific spoilers for the story, the plots, the characters, and the relationships. I'll link to it when it's done.

The verdict? Worth seeing, whether you're a Trek fan or a complete newbie.

I'm definitely going back to rewatch a second time. Possibly on big screen or Gold Class with a bunch of friends with whom I can discuss it afterward.
