I've just watched the fist episode of the new star trek series, and whilst not being a trekkie, I was appalled by the unsplitting of the infinitive; 'To go bodly' just ain't the same as 'boldly go'. However, I would say this was made up for by the gratuitous 'gel rubbing' scene involving the new Vulcan side kick, and if this sort of thing continues I may become a regular viewer (sad isn't it) - infact I think I'd better go and take a cold shower now...

I wasn't planning on liking the show, but after watching a couple of episodes it's not that bad. The Vulcan helps...alot.

The movie/season premier reran last night here (we saw it the first time) and the rub-down scene did seem a bit gratuitous. I'm assuming the directors/writers felt it necessary to compete in today's media audience--but such was never the reason any Trek fan ever watched the shows or movies to begin with! All I can figure is that they thought they could attract new viewers with the hint (!) of the forbidden Vulcan flesh (ooh, naughty!
 )Luckily such scenes haven't popped up much elsewhere in the series thus far. Hopefully it won't happen again, but I saw previews for the next five 'all brand new episodes' and there were a few scenes of very close fraternization!
