It was an attempt to classify a genre that's way too generic. Lithose made a better post about it pages back.

Pretty sure there was lens flare in the opening scenes. Not that I give a shit, but I did notice it at the first scene on the bridge when Spock is heading to the volcano.
Yeah. I wish in the 1980s The Rolling Stones called GnR, Metallica, and all the rest Nu Metal. Fucking generations.

I've been trying to get into DS9 for a while, since everyone says it gets really good, but it took me about a year to get through the first two seasons. I felt a turn with about 5 episodes remaining in Season 2 and I breezed through those episodes and just finished S3E2. Definitely worth it if the rest of the series stays like this, but it was like pulling teeth to get here.

I think the problem with the quote
"Rod Serling claimed that the former was "the improbable made possible" (Sci-Fiction) while the latter was "the impossible made probable" (Fantasy)"
Is that it excludes too much of what we call scifi. Plus it's hard for me to separate one section of a universe from another section. Ex as soon as Q comes on the scene in star trek it lessens the science-feel of the entire thing.
For me it's easier to refer to scifi as any fiction focused on science and especially in the future and just ignore the designation of science fantasy.

nah. its a good distinction.
you just need to accept there is a scale, and its not black and white.
And additionally, being one or the other, doesnt mean elements of the other can't find its way in.
Science fiction can have fantastical elements in it. if those fantastical elements outnumber the plausible, then it kindof shifts. or if its an important element, then it moves to fantasy.
benedict cumberbatch's depiction of khan was much better than the original. he's one of the better villains i've seen in the last decade.

if it wasn't for such generic script for him to read....it would've been very good.

His overacting was mainly vocal/pronouncation. Ive seen a dubbed version of ID and could only tell be lip reading he was trying kind hard on the voice acting.
Although i wouldve liked if they had him wear some kind of muscle suit to better match the enhanced strenght by genetic engineering look.

This may have been covered in the last 29 pages but I just saw this and why did they need Khan's blood to revive Kirk? Why not just crack open another person in the cryo caskets and take some of their blood to heal him?

Correct.
Movie was good/fun (plot-hole-no-jutsu aside) and definitely still maintained the focus that the previous Star Trek movies prior to the 2009 film carried. Worth the money and I hope it continues to spawn successor films.

Well they knew Khans blood will most liekely work, they werent that sure with the still frozen crewmembers, although it would quite possible work as well, but why take the risk when you still need to catch a potential terrorist roaming SF anyway? Plus we dont know what time/tricks/specialists it takes to unfreeze one of the others.
