Emotional Spock
By Kirk Archer

I am concerned about what seems to be an overly-emotional Spock character. Yes Vulcans have emotions, but through years of training they've been taught to control and contain them. Over the course of the original series we've seen Spock "lose it" a few times, but those instances were far and few between. I'm also concerned about the description of a "horrified" Vulcan woman on the planet below. Again emotional Vulcans.

I'm not a continuity pornographer and can allow lots of minor details to slide, just as the TV series have done. But when it goes way overboard to Scotty inventing transporters and similar glaring issues then I do have a problem.

Secondly, I have my doubts about the Kirk typing scene. Aren't the computers of this age voice activated? I remember the humerous scene in Star Trek IV where Scotty tried talking to a keyboard. "How quaint!" was his response.

Writers need to understand we are 300 years into the future and when they make decisions like this it pulls me out of the reality, just like Uhura using books to talk Klingon in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" ruined it for me.

I'm not one of the haters that comes on to slam everything JJ and company are doing. I'm hoping this movie is a success because if it isn't we've lost any chance for Star Trek to exist on the big screen ever again. So I will be there on opening day with my fingers crossed.
