[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm in the liked, verging on loved camp. I could surely pick apart things I didn't like, things that didn't make sense, etc, etc. But I just found myself happily overlooking it all as the whole package came together to make a very good, fun to watch movie.

I am conflicted on the whole alternate universe thing. I understand why, and on one level really do like the idea of flat dropping the decades of baggage. On the otherhand, I can't shake the nagging feeling of loss that they've just wiped out everything I've known and loved that's happened to these characters. That feeling is outweighed by the appreciation of the necessary freedom gained by it, but it is what's keeping me from saying I loved it.

Like I said, I have my quibbles with it, but I have my quibbles with every single Trek episode/series/film so whatever.
