Picard was always harping on about it, but Kirk seemed to prefer fixing problems by snogging alien women and fighting everyone else. Awesome. Totally cool that in Generations Picard fell short but Kirk overcame the villain. I was always a huge fan of the Shat’s wanton disregard for the Prime Directive.

I was really fascinated by how blatant this theme was considering the reputation of the franchise for minimizing "spiritual" realities, even if they're as vague as destiny. What puzzled me about the movie is that one character seems to be an example of choosing your own destiny (Spock serving in Star Fleet) while another seems to demonstrate that you can't run from what's chosen for you (Kirk commanding the Enterprise). Can't wait to see what you think! Oh! and if I'm not mistake the Tribble appears in the background of the first scene featuring Scotty.

I agree with the id/ego/superego analogy for the original Trek trio. Together they presented a fully orbed human experience. For me the only series in the whole franchise that is still winsome is the original series. As I often say, you can't beat Spock vs evil sentient flying pancakes that sound like dog squeaker toys. And you literally can't beat ripped-shirt Kirk, can you? Looking forward to the next installments on this. :) I quite seriously hold that Spock, Kirk, and McCoy embody the same kind of mind/body/spirit trio that Craig McCracken deliberately mapped out in Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles in the Powerpuff Girls.

Yes, Clint Eastwood *is* Dirty Harry and I would shudder at the thought of any modern actor strapping on a .44 Magnum and donning the brown suit. Except for maybe Viggo Mortensen... I'd pay to see that. Only if it was directed by David Cronenberg, though. Good to have Cinemagogue back!
