I watched it. I found the new Star Trek trailer to be the highlight of the episode. Other than that, the Sylar story wasn't all that interesting until he and his father started dueling a bit; the Clair story, as usual, is a snooze, as were most of the other stories. I feel like the writers spend most of their time moving chess pieces into position with attacks few and far between.
Yes, it's a kind of "portrait of the captain as a young man" kind of thing. Sylar plays the young Spock (though given the fact that Vulcans live a much longer life span than humans, the "young" Spock wouldn't really be noticeably different.)
One could surmise that, yes. And if you were to, say, quiz me about the permutations of the Buffy-verse--in TV and comic form--as well as various academic theories related thereto, I think you'd see some really fancy geek footwork in action.

ReplyDeleteYes, that's a good way to describe it. It was all about lead up and no reward. As a result: snooze. Plus, bunny gutting is never pretty.
ReplyDeleteIs that star trek a pre-quel kind of thing?

ReplyDeleteI can't believe you're making me say this again, but: geek.
ReplyDeleteYou do realize I wear that as a badge of honor, don't you?
