Jane Wyatt

Winona Ryder

Ok, so I know Winona Ryder has been out of the picture since, well, basically the nineties. All most people will remember of her is that she shop lifted her way out of a career and then was never seen or heard from again.

I, however, can still remember the nineties, and though ol’ Winnie made some bad choices (Little Women anyone? Or that terrible flick with Richard Gere, November or Autumn or something? Zoiks!) However, she was also in some iconic nineties stuff, like Reality bites, Girl interrupted and The age of innocence.

Sooooo. To boldly go from nineties icon to Spock’s mom? Wow, if I’d been offered that role I’d have had to swallow. She’s only 37 fgs and already playing moms! Spock’s previous mom was the 76 year old (!) Jane Wyatt. She did a wonderful job, but, you know, she was OLD.

On the other hand, I’d give my two front teeth to be in a Star Trek movie, so who cares? Good for Winona. Though I’d want to be Spock or Kirk. Or maybe McCoy. I really like that Keith Urban gets to play McCoy. It’s great that someone who’s been a fan of the series since age 7 gets to join in the fun. And he’s kinda cute.

Star Trek XI

I’ve been rewatching Star Trek Voyager these past few weeks and I am thrilled by the look of the new Star Trek movie trailer!!!! It looks awesome! Can’t wait for May 2009 to roll around!

HIMYM Barney

Lily and Marshall decide to have a baby, but Lily gets cold feet and calls on Robin and Ted to help her decide.

I like the way they portrayed the way people decide to have kids: Lily and Marshall are deep in debt, live in a crappy apartment, and work all hours of the day. Yet looking at a baby’s sock decides them on having a child. Yep. I’ve seen that happen. Soooo, Robin moves in with Ted, ey?
Well, she’s still aunt Robin, so I guess that’s not gonna happen (I’m still rooting for Barney&Robin, when’s that gonna happen?!) And I’m very glad Lily and Marshall aren’t having a baby. Come on, people having babies are boring!

Also nice to see Kevin’s dad (The Wonderyears!) again, though he didn’t get to do much.

Funny quotes:

Lily: “Baby me, Marshall, I’m ready!”

Robin to Ted “Every time you hear the word ‘kid’ you get two little lactation stains on your shirt.” (ouch!)

Barney:
“The cheerleader effect is when a group of women seems hot, but only as a group. It’s like with cheerleaders. They seem hot, but take each one individually: sled dogs. And that, my friends, is the cheerleader effect, also known as the brides maids paradox, and, for a brief period in the nineties, the Spice girls syndrome. Scary Spice indeed.”
