    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

    @LegalizeRoofies: I've always loved that -- "I loved Galaxy Quest. I thought it was brilliant satire, not only of Trek, but of fandom in general. The only thing I wish they had done was cast me in it, and have me play a freaky fanboy who keeps screaming at the actor who played "the kid" about how awful it was that there was a kid on the spaceship. Alas."

    That would have been so awesome. One of many reasons why I love Wil Wheaton. #startrek

    Wil Wheaton shares some of my tastes & I'm glad he's working. I hate Wesley Crusher & I can't think of a happier moment for me than that one episode where he is impaled through the chest. #startrek

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

    @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

    I really hope Mission Impossible can return to the TV Show's roots; a caper film where the perfect crime/rescue/dictator overthrow is planed and executed. The Mission Impossible movies are more like Americanized James Bond films. IM was about tricking bad guys with head games, not car chases and out running fireballs. JJ Abrams needs to hire some of the "Leverage" writers.

    it was a great episode.

    and no bell and peter are not teh same people. the earth 1 peter died so walter found a way to steal earth 2's. william used a bell as a trigger because he knew walter had the same one on earth 1, who used it was not relavant.

    also i guess LSD experiments help older women stay hot because that woman was seriously gorgeous for someone who would have to be near 50.

    @darthsidious_7:
    That, I believe, is our good friend from Odyssey 5, Sebastian Roche. My eyes lit up when I saw his name in the credits, along with Theresa Russell, and at the end I realized I hadn't seen him, so I went back to that scene and decided it was a bald CGIed Sebastian.

    In reply to Leonard Nimoy Explains Fringe's Final Storm
    I like this review's format; the catchy italicized paragraph-openers appeal.

    I'll be sad if I don't see Kirk Acevedo again. (There's the mirror universe one with a scar.) Like a few other scifi characters who died ignominious deaths that were stretched out, his double-fate was hard to watch.

    Would've been more interesting if, as a shapeshifter, Olivia convinced him to rebel. But parallels on that front of the alien rebels in X-Files, perhaps.

    I wonder if the mercury (actual mercury, not mercury-looking "polymimetic alloy") was a nod to T-1000.
