    In reply to JJ Abrams Gets Small For Micronauts Movie?
    Micronauts were pretty cool - and the mythology wasn't so obtrusive that it kept you from making up your own storylines. The interchangeable nature was the key: like Legos, you could always build something awesome that had nothing to do with the original toys' parts from which it was constructed. Everything had some kind of missile-launcher, too!

    In addition, the design was ahead of its' time for both characters and toys. When I recall these and the Corgi, Matchbox, and GI Joe stuff of the same era, it's easy to see why Kenner went to draw inspiration the Micronauts for its' Star Wars line. #micronauts

    I still have a magnetic Baron Karza, with his evil black magnet horse, whom he can merge with and become an evil black magnet centaur.

    That's the problem with kids today. Not enough magnet centaurs. #micronauts

    I love Wesley Crusher because so many geeks hate him. I hope he appears in the sequel, travelling back through time to rescue Spock and creating a device to recreate Vulcan. #startrek

    You have a great plot device right there. I would pay to see that.

    Although not the Uhura part. Save that for the extras on the next DVD. #startrek

    Leonard Nimoy is such a gent. And yeah Quinto pretty much was Spock. Couldn't have casted that better.

    On another note, horay for Will Wheaton! #startrek

    @ManchuCandidate: Wheaton does seem like a pretty cool, genuinely geeky, fun guy. Until recently when I discovered his blog/he started appearing on The Guild I'd always assumed he was a total dweeb a la Wesley Crusher. Turns out I shouldn't have judged him based on the annoying, whiny character he used to play. #startrek

    Actually, the gal who plays her said in an interview for GI Joe (the other movie she was in this summer) that you never hear which ship she is assigned to, so she could have ended up on the Enterprise. #startrek

    They should have had the same actress play the two different orion women. Then it would have gotten accross that they all do look alike. #startrek

    It's *possible* this wasn't just about racism. Maybe all white human females look like all other white human females to Kirk as well. Maybe it's a girl thing. heh. #startrek

    @redqueenmeg: That is what I was thinking this says more about Kirk's womanizing than anything. I think that he has been with quite a few of the Orion women, and honestly mixed the two up. #startrek

    @mosquitosBuzzz: @Jason D Sousley: I agree with both of you. I'm thinking perhaps that is why it was cut. Maybe it was put in just to highlight Kirk's womanizing but someone pointed out that the audience could easily take it as subtle racism, which I can understand.

    It blurs the message of the scene either way since it could be either, so it's good it was dropped since its point didn't come across, whatever it was. #startrek
