See, I can tell you that you didn't tell that monster that he was wrong soon enough. His error was in waiting until Star Trek came out for RENT to see it! And then he didn't like it? What an idiot!
Are you counting the spinoffs as Star Trek episodes? Not to flaunt my geek side too much, but ST:DS9 always ended with everyone staying right where they were on the space station (the running joke when it was on was that they should do the "Space, the final frontier" intro but end it with something like "to stay put; to boldly go NOWHERE.").
There are a lot of reasons why Star Trek XI was awful (plot holes you could fly a dozen Borg Cubes through, irritating characters, rampant ignorance of the most elementary basics of astrophysics and warp travel, sets that look more like 20th-century steam factories than 23rd-century starships, an obnoxious excess of lens flare). The ending was not one of them (aside from the part where a serial mutineer was promoted straight from cadet to captain and assigned to the Federation's flagship, which was also given a permanent bridge crew of wet-behind-the-ears newbies who happened to get lucky once).
I'm hoping that the conversation was about STAR WARS and not about star trek, otherwise, the "Scott" chap is.... WRONG!!!!
I follow your strip quite often, and I must tell you now that this is your only flaw. couldn't you enrich the character with something equally odd, but cool? say... err... STAR WARS!!!!
I loathe people who doesn't like movies because they don't accept the entire premise of the movie's existence. "I like Aliens, except the part with the Alien and the spaceship" "Why did there have to be silly halflings in the Lord of the rings movie?" "Why did the goofy antagonistic onscreen guy-girl duo end up falling in love at the end of this romantic comedy? That would never happen in real life" "I didn't like it, thus it had to be a bad movie. "
Btw, the correct response is "the movie didn't speak to me" "I am sure it's a good movie but I didn't enjoy it"
There you go. Since I posted this here as a warning to those with poor moviecritic abilities you are now legally allowed to punch their faces.

Hi Scott,
Loved the comic!! Keep it up!
Greg
Eh, I liked the Bond reboot(well, at least Casino Royale), better than the Star Trek one.
I'm on your friend's side! That Star Trek movie had too many pointless action scenes and way too much lens flare.
This made me laugh.
But for the record, I didn't really like the new Star Trek either...
I could foresee the ending ... and yoohoo first comment :) ... [i know its sad that i am excited by that]
YOU'RE A MONSTER!
loved it XD
i dont like star trek or bond movies, either. or star wars.
I've yet to meet a single person who disliked the new Star Trek movie, but if I do, I shall make sure to correctly name him a beast (read: monster).

That guy is a monster. A stupid, stupid monster.

anyway, another cool strip. and props to 007!
im so proud of myself, (to have angered you this much!)
I'm sold on this comic just from the first panel alone.
"I didn't like it." "YOU ARE WRONG!!" ...You mean he did like it and either doesn't realize it or won't admit it?
I was also disappointed... That this comic strip ended.
I agree - that is wrong. Way wrong.
YOU ARE WRONG!
Or rather, I think you forgot to note that this comic must be a rerun from the early 1980's.
Indeed, Monster he is. Kill it with fire.

What kind of a human being doesn't like Star Trek and James Bond?
HOW CAN SOMEONE NOT LIKE BOND MOVIES
Wow, I've had that conversation about Star Trek too! I know two wrong people. They confuse me.
That''s the point of Star Trek. They keep exploring. There's always more out there. He isn't wrong, but for disliking that he is an idiot.
