Or Frank Herbert's Dune. Light years beyond any science fiction currently popular. It wasn't even the scifi aspect that turned me into a fanatic of the series, but the political intrigue.
Some science fiction ages better than others. Think Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea.Originally Posted by whacked

I must say, this movie really makes me want to watch a lot of series. Namely, the original, Next Generation, and Deep Space 9. The original has the most charming characters. NG had great characters all around, and I love Picard Wharf, and Data. Deep Space 9 has a badass and interesting leader in Sisco. I also want to brush up on the lore. I either never saw a reference in the shows, or did not remember than Romulans and Vulcans shared the same ancestry.
Also, check this out. Beastie Boy's "Sabotage" was a reference, and a very halarious one at that!

In the Romulans' first appearance, the shocking reveal was that they looked like Vulcans, causing one of the crew members to turn on Spock.
Of course, it then made no sense when Next Gen stuck a ridge thing on the Romulans' foreheads. But I suppose Next Gen policy was that all aliens must have ridge things on their foreheads.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go adjust my pointy ears.

Interesting
Another comment on the movie...I think the optimistic view of humanity was not as as strong as it could have been. I'm glad Kirk offered to save the Romuland crew at the end, but there were a lot of prejudice comments throughout the movie. The only one I can remember well enough to quote is when Kirk(or Bones?) called Spock "that pointy eared bastard."
Old Spock seemed to reject his Vulcan sensibilities a little too much.
Still though, I really enjoyed this movie, and I'm happy the franchise has been reinvigorated. I certainly didn't leave Episode I this happy.

That's actually right on. There was a lot of prejudice towards the Klingons for instance until Praxis exploded in Undiscovered Country pretty much forcing them to become members of the Federation. The Romulans have always been a problem though. Also, at that young age, Spock was still struggling with his human side, which meant he was quite emotional. He didn't forsake his humanity in favor of Vulcan logic until a later age. I haven't seen the film yet, but I'm glad to hear they kept that part of his development intact. PS - Bones ALWAYS called Spock a pointy eared bastard heh

Going to see it again tonight.
Friend sent me this link earlier today. I enjoyed it a lot.
It uses clips from the film, so be warned... spoilers ahead.
