Quinto is perfect as Spock. For Kirk, I would have picked the guy at the beginning of the movie playing Kirk’s father as Kirk.

I miss ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Dresden’. I read the first three books in the ‘Dresden’ series after seeing the TV episodes. My apologies to Mr. Butcher, but I liked the TV series better.

Yeah but that’s SUCH a teen thing!

Klausner…a company would make sense.

Agreed on Quinto being cast as Spock. He did a stellar job.

Journeyman and Life (plus most of the shows you mentioned also).

Christmas Gifts: you left out the one for the do it yourself at home kids tattoo kit which I SO want to get for my cousin’s son (as a gag gift) cuz they just moved to the country six months ago.

Bella and Edward… People need a reality check. It is a story. It’s not real. Gaw. Drives me insane.

Recasts… hmmm… I think the P&P recast was good. I didn’t think CF could be outdone, But MacFayden was good (though I still hold a candle for Mr. Firth). I can never think of who else when posed w/ questions, sorry, I gots no more.

I saw the Sea Monster trailer a while back. I think it’s clever–though I couldn’t read the book–my brain does not suspend disbelief that far

thanksgiving: my mother bitched and moaned (through the guise of kidding) because she was too early. I cannot help it if she can’t read the time I sent her and my brother (who was an hour late–same freaking e-mail)

1) I’ve heard the rumors, and gotta be honest. My instinctive response to whether Ms. Klausner really existed was “does it matter?” The books are being talked about either way, lol. Maybe Amazon has little review fairies…

3) I’m tired, so maybe that’s why I can’t think of any. But I can’t think of any. I thought Star Trek did a pretty decent job with the younger cast. Spock was excellent, Kirk was good if slightly over the top, I liked Bones, Sulu was cool, Chekov was like Chekov on cocaine, and I kept wondering why Uhura was being shot removing clothing. But good job overall.
I think sometimes with movies, etc., when something’s done to ‘perfection’, it’s done. It can be imitated or satirized, but not done again or as well. See it a lot with singers and older hit songs.

5) Gone too soon–”Firefly”.

6) I remember an editor-in-chief refusing a book because the heroine had the name of an ex-girlfriend. The author offered to change the name… no go.

Ok I’m sorry, but this is horseshit. Either that wasn’t the real reason for the rejection in the first place, or that editor was being real unprofessional. Not sayin’ they’re not entitled to feelings and personal prejudice. But if that was the ONLY legitimate problem and it was changed, there’s no excuse. I swear, it’s enough to make ya crazy…
