Le Blog de la Mirabelle

J’étais chez mon cousin Peter. Au programme: un bon vin rouge, Star Trek, pizza. Un bon mélange je trouve. Nous sommes tous les deux de grands fans de Star Trek (voir: Le collectif des lapins roses et Fille bleue aux cheveux couleur mangue). J’en profite pour recommander le film de J.J. Abrams. C’est vraiment un bijou, tant au niveau du rythme que du traitement désinvolte de la mythologie trekienne. C’est un peu « Lost » mais dans l’espace. Ca en vaut la peine rien que pour entendre les répliques de Spock, joué par Zachary Quinto (très beau jeu d’acteur aussi).

I’ve visited my cousin Peter. Programm of the day: a good red wine, Star Trek, pizza. Nice mix, no? We are both huge Star Trek fans (see: The pink bunnies collective et Blue girl with mango hair). I take this opportunity to recommend J.J. Abrams movie. It’s awesome, be it the rhythm or the way star trek mythology has been conveyed. It’s a bit like « Lost » only in space. It’s worth reading Spocks lines ; he’s played by Zachary Quinto (great acting too).

AMANDA

There is no need to be so anxious.  You’ll do fine.

SPOCK

I am hardly « anxious », mother.

(beat, then, anxiously)

And « fine » has variable definitions.  »Fine » is unacceptable.

SPOCK

If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains

– however improbable –must be the truth.

MCCOY

How poetic.

MCCOY

My God, Man… you could at least act like it was a hard decision.

SPOCK

I intended to assist in the effort to re- establish communication with Starfleet.

However, if crew morale would be better served

by my roaming the halls weeping, I’ll gladly defer to your medical expertise.

SPOCK PRIME

Trust me. Above all. Jim, this is the one rule you cannot break.

To stop Nero, you alone must take command of your ship.

KIRK

How, over your dead body?

SPOCK PRIME
Preferably not. There is, however, Starfleet Regulation 619.

(off Kirk’s confusion) Yes. I forget what little regard you had for such things.

619 states that any commanding officer who is emotionally compromised

by the mission at hand…  must resign said command.

KIRK

So I need to emotionally compromise you?

SPOCK PRIME

Jim.  I just lost my planet. I can tell you.  I am emotionally compromised.

What you must do… is get me to show it.
