[Sailor Steve]

I have a friend who liked the new movie for one reason: He was tired of hearing the fans whine about all the times the new series and new movies monkeyed with the 'Canon'. He saw the changes in this one as being a big 'Up Yours!' from the producers to all of them. For him that made the whole thing worth it.

I watched the original series when it first aired, and despite all the changes I liked the new movie, especially the actor playing McCoy and the lines they gave him. I knew who he had to be from the first moment he complained about the transporters, and I nearly died when he gave himself his famous nickname..."She took everything but my bones."

A side note: Like Simon Pegg or not, in this movie they gave him a weird little alien sidekick. I laughed with delight when I saw the actor's name: Deep Roy. For those of you who remember Tom Baker's Doctor Who, you might want to think of 'The Talons of Weng Chiang'. Deep Roy was Mr. Sin, the Peking Humunculus.
