*nods* It so really was. I went to an advanced showing on Thursday and was so very impressed. The pacing was great, the characters were FANTASTIC and I really enjoyed all the nods to the original (that didn't sound cheesy or forced). I still can't decide if I had a favourite part - they were so many - though watching Chikov run through the ship crying 'I can do zat!' was certainly near the top. ^__^

And more yay for Spock!
