Finally saw it last night. I loved it. Much better than I expected, and I expected it to be good.

I'll see it one of these days...
Just tell me - is the Pegg lovely?

Oh hang on, of course he is.
He's all I have to hold on to in a queasy universe where the Doctor is younger than I am.

He's very good in the role.

He's not younger than us. He's over 900 years old!

Overall, I liked it, but I had a few problems:

Scotty's sidekick.
The Galaxy Quest engine room design.
The destruction of a planet being visible - even huge - in the sky of another planet several minutes away at warp speed. There were plenty of forgivable science problems, but that wasn't one of them.

I would agree with you, HM, if Star Trek were science fiction. But it's not. It's space opera.

Scotty's sidekick was annoying, yes. But considering he only had like 45 seconds total of screen time, it was fine.

I forgave, even enjoyed, quite a bit of stuff for that reason. But I'm not a big fan of ewok/Jar Jar types even in space opera, and even Star Wars didn't have the destruction of Alderaan visible from Tattooine.

Well, they conveniently had The Force.... "I felt a great disturbance . . "
