Five Things To Do Now You've Seen The New Star Trek Movie

This is a Star Trek lover's guide to the top 5 things you should do now you've watched the new Star Trek movie.

Please feel free to add some more suggestions, in the comments below. All of us here will be very interested to know what you think.


1. Watch Star Trek: The Original Series

  • 'Cause you'll love the contrast – shiny new, highly polished, super cool vs Ever so cool classic, wonderfully fresh, bright, colourful and optimistic.
  • And also because you'll get to know the crew better. You'll see a bit more rawness. And you'll care about them more.
  • It's a fabulous way to draw out your movie experience, savour the movie more, enjoy back stories, enjoy the jokes more.
  • And because it's very good fun.



2 In fact, watch all BTNM (Before The New Movie) Star Trek

'Cause you'll absolutely relish it. Your very own, extended-version, Star Trek Sliding Doors experience.

Do you remember the movie – Sliding Doors - in which Helen Quilley is fired from her PR job and heads home? And as the doors of the underground tube train slide shut in her face, we start to see two time lines in her life - what happens, having missed the train, and what would have happened if she'd managed to catch the train. Fabulous “What If” premise.

You can recreate this, Star Trek style, by lining up your Star Trek DVDs and watching them in the following order:

1st: Star Trek DVD Original Series

2nd: Star Trek Next Generation DVD

3rd: Deep Space Nine DVDs

4th:
Star Trek Voyager DVDs

5th: Star Trek Enterprise DVDs


3. Get Some Friends Round, Buy Some Popcorn

Before you slide in the DVDs, stock up on  refreshments, and get some friends round.

Yours will be The destination this summer and you and your friends will have a brilliant time together.


4. Get the Tshirt

You know -  Seen The Movie ... Got To Get The Tshirt. 

There are some really cool,  drool-worthy new, and classic designs out.

Fabulous gear for you, really fab gifts, and fun to look at, anyway ...


5. Watch the Star Wars prequels again

Some have cynically suggested that you watch the Star Wars prequels so you can appreciate just how good  new Star Trek is. And just how rubbish the Star Wars prequels are.

Me – I don't know. I'm a Trek girl so I'm horribly biased. And I've only seen Star Wars because my kids watch it. 

What do YOU  think?
