DH, DD and I saw the new movie Star Trek yesterday and it was AWESOME!


we LOVED it...it is how they all started..Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Uhuru, Scotty, Bones..really neat! like seeing old friends..LOL


special effects: incredible


so much fun...and I had a brilliant stroke of recognition with a lesser known character: Christopher Pike


I actually remembered the character's name from the original Star Trek series


I won't give any of it away

I so want to see this. I have been a "trekkie" since the first year of the show back more than forty years ago. I actually met the original Mr Spock outside a theater where I had gone to see Star Trek III.

I do so remember the Christopher Pike episode, and even though I was just a teen, I couldn't help but think at the time that being tethered to that horribly limited body must be terrible. I loved it when he was transformed...it became sort of an idea that never left me...not that we just get rid of people who are limited at all, but that maybe we find a way to make their lives more meaningful and just not dismissed.

I actually see the connection between Pike and your mil: trapped in a damaged body


yes, very sad....I hope tho like Pike she can go to a better place in her mind


like maybe Ireland in 1920...but things weren't so great there then!


that's where my father's family came from in 1928....he was born in 1920


wishing your mil the best


and those of you who love her too


hugs

MIL was riding a bike down a road in Ireland at the time of "the troubles" and the Black and Tans forced her off the road and down an embankment and she broke her leg. She seems to be fixed on the time right before that when she was happily at home with her parents and her 12 brothers and sisters, all of whom she has outlived, and she was fifth from the bottom. Kind of sad. She and her DH and their three sons, middle one my DH, came from Ireland to here in San Francisco in 1950.

ah another interesting story about the black and tans...my fil's father fled to the US after an incident with the Black and tan


as one aunt put it,it was like being a prisoner in your own country


yes it is sad, your mil has lived a long life


Ireland did not become free until April 18 1949, the day after I was born


my dad and siblings grew up in NYC..well, dad did...he was second from bottom of 6, the older 4 were born in Ireland, my dad in Cardiff wales and the youngest sister in Liverpool..they came in 1928 (my grandfather was a phys ed instructor for the British navy and had the Duke of windsor as a student)
