And if the Klingons helped you in your politics class, more power to you! @ Mrs. Micah, from what I’ve seen of Star Trek, it does seem to have a lot of deep stuff beneath the surface.

Obviously they were about entertainment and sci-fi and alien babes, but episodes would address racism or euthenasia or ask us to figure out what the line is between "freedom fighters" and "terrorists"....there was a lot of good stuff if you choose to ask it and if you didn't want to think about the deep stuff, it was still fun. I found it a good way to spur conversations. I also got looked at funny in my politics class when I said that the Klingons were a perfect example of a Timocracy. :P I loved the most recent move and like what you've drawn from it. J.J. Abrams has continued in the thought-provoking-but-also-just-plain-fun vein. :) <abbr><em>Mrs. Micah´s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MrsMicah/~3/LGB8BIWGgNU/" rel="nofollow">Living Like a (Grad) Student</a></abbr></em> I liked all 4 Trek series (I don’t accept Enterprise as canon…probably says something about my Trekkieness!) and thought they did a good job of presenting interesting questions or paradoxes in episodes.

Feel free to watch more Star Trek - it's good for you! @ J.D., I've heard a few people mention Captain Kirk as a role model, so there must be something about him. I'll try to take a closer look. @ Shamelle, Laurie liked that one too! Feel free to watch more Star Trek – it’s good for you!

Now it's more mixed, so I don't really notice. Doesn't everyone have fun outside the blogosphere? @ Ari, I think the original Star Trek was very dated even in the mid 80s. I saw a few episodes of The Next Generation and Enterprise, but didn't really get into them. I really liked the first episode of TNG I saw, but I quickly found out that episode was unusually good. @ Laurie, yeah, you can turn revenge energy into something else. It's much better for you and everyone else. @ Akemi, I used to get almost entirely female commenters. Now it’s more mixed, so I don’t really notice.

My favourite is #5: Revenge is a dish best not served at all. Revenge takes so much time and effort and is a very heavy emotional load. Taking that revenge energy and turning it into something worthwhile for everyone is the best dish. I like how you took lessons from the movie – even if you’re not a Trekkie!
