    This book had to be made to keep up the Star Trek book tradition. I remember when I was a kid I had the tech manual and the concordance and used them while watching the series every night on channel 39.
    I still wish one day they would build the Dreadnought.

    Okay, somebody out there has to make this movie before they do, by cleverly editing together scenes from The Hunt for Red October and Independence Day.

    Nervous Ensign: "Sir, the alien ships are strategically dropping depth missiles above us in a grid-like pattern, trying to locate our position! If we move, we're dead, but if we stay here, they're sure to sink us eventually. We need to retaliate by sinking their mothership, but we don't know where it is!"

    @Pope John Peeps II: No this was not directed at the author of the story! Just saying that they keep coming up with more and more every week about the DVD. It was directed towards the industry. So relax. io9 is one of my favorite sites ever. I would never say anything in that manner.

    So forgive me if it seemed that way. Not the case.

    Peace #startrek

    @Gemini2: Cool, good to know. I didn't think it was directed at me, but thanks for explaining anyway. In any case "Someone is bored!" is always a safe statement on the internet. :) #startrek

    @Charlie Jane Anders: LOL, I don't know about that anymore. Looks like you can be judged at any moment.

    But in the end, we are all humans, right?

    Keep up the good work. #startrek

    What I like about this treatment is that it manages to sidestep a lot of the implictly Freudian masculinist connotations of the way Jean has been handled--unlike Ratner's film, which made them absolutely, horridly blatant. "Quick! A woman has power, doesn't know how to handle it, and is freaking the hell out! The only solution is for a man to penetrate her!" Womb envy and phallic mothers don't begin to cover it. The female hysteric was alive and well (until she had to get killed/a penis, anyway) in 2006, it seems.

    Admittedly, 616 Marvel hasn't been any more tactful in how they approach this trope--House of M, anyone?--and I guess it makes sense that a guy lauded by Maxim for being a womanizer would give us a numbingly sexist approach to the Phoenix. But that doesn't make it any less lazy for a supposed reboot of the continuity for film to recycle--with a vengeance--the more cringe-worthy parts of the character's history. I want to be generous with Claremont, and the storyline is of course epic, but I'm getting bored of approaches to Jean as little more than a deus ex woman in refrigerator.

    ... and then there's the part where she's getting raised by her son in the future. #xmen
