ha ha! (re the Phoenix books) Yeah, I guess that is the correct sort of label to put on that, isn't it? Never really thought about it before. Although....yeah, now that you remind me, some of that stuff was quite cloying .....it's been years, maybe i'l revisit it as well. And say "meh".
Reboot: it's really such a simple idea, when you think about it. And yet....now they can simply do ANYTHING. I loved it when they made Kirk the person who sacrificed himself for the sake of the ship and not Spock....that alone opened so many possibilities in my mind. But they are really without limit. And, a big YES ! to the cast. I was telling my son the other day that i love how Pine handles 'interpreting' James T. And i LOVE the Pike/Kirk relationship. It's wonderful. I don't follow ST fan fic, but i can imagine that they are (or they should be) having a field day with where the fleshing out of the story has taken them (and i don't mean in a slashy way). Perhaps the studio WILL do a novelization at some point??? I'm disheartened with studios in general right now. Look what those dolts at WB did with the 'new' Hobbit/LOTR 'collector's edition'. What nonsense. Fie! PHFFFFTTTTT! And a lot of other stuff! Re Anton: the older we get, the more triumphs we witness, and the more tragedies. But the tragedies.....it feels as if we are being pulled along with our beloveds....even the ones that we really don't know. They will fill that gap somehow, and, like you, I look forward to *how*. They have a chance to be brilliant, a chance to look back at Anton and forward at the same time. *crossing fingers* and hoping for goodness.
I would love to share some of the space in the spatial TARDIS with you... what fun~! Looking forward to that #100!
