Okay...I'm sure that many of you, like me, are waiting for the new Star Trek movie to come out. They posted the first "teaser" trailer a while back:

Trailer one...

...so we get to see very little of the Starship Enterprise...it's a teaser, right? But we do get to see a guy who's welding and actually is getting dirty. This had me thinking...

Some of you guys have been in the Navy, the Air Force, Armored Divisions...when you do maintenance, you get dirty. Ever see them do maintenance in Star Trek? Two guys walk around with a clipboard and a tri-corder stopping here and there, taking readings and nodding their heads. That's it. Ship the size of a city and I swear that I have never seen anybody break a sweat keeping it running. Nobody scraping, nobody painting...what's the deal?

And this new movie is a retro take on Kirk and Spock's early years...remember the problem that they said they were going to have with "Star Trek: Enterprise"? How do you convince people that this is advanced future technology when the viewer already has a cell phone that's smaller than Captain Kirk's communicator? "Spock...can you hear me now?"

Suspend disbelief...suspend disbelief...just enjoy the movie....

Best
