And we're back! The DISCOVERY hiatus continues, as does our series of watchalongs. We continue with the 2013 follow-up to Star Trek entitled Star Trek: Into Darkness. Kirk et al are hoping to start their five-year mission when, because of his flaunting of the rules, Kirk's command of the Enterprise is revoked and Spock (who dropped dime on him) is transferred to another ship. How will Kirk become the captain we know he can be? How can he and Spock have the friendship we know they must have? And what part does Admiral Pike play in all of it? [Spoiler Alert: he dies.]
Is this a strange, kelvin-timeline rehashing of Wrath of Khan? yes. Is it slightly disorganized and a little too long? yes and yes. but does Akie still get misty eyed when Kirk is dying and Spock is talking to him through the glass?! yes, yes, a thousand times yes! that and other affirmations await you, dear listeners, as we watch and comment upon all things Into Darkness-esque. Klingons and hovercraft fights and, rarest of all, Spock-tears! All that and, also, Akie's heavy breathing when he gets too involved in the movie.Join the Email List
