And if the Into Darkness ads keep running every five minutes, I'm going to have to pull the plug on my tv. The last 48 hours to the premiere are going to be rough.
I was at a sports bar/restaurant last night for 30 minutes or so. I saw at least 3 ads. I guess they're going for the ESPN viewer. Strange that none of the ignorant jock co-workers I have who tease me for liking Star Trek have EVER mentioned Into Darkness.

Of course, if you're not paying attention, you might not even know its Trek, the font they use is pretty small. Does the announcer even say "Star Trek"?

I own the Crucible Series. They were made for the 40th anniversary and try to only reference actual episodes/movies and not events from other books. They manage to tie in continuity to TOS that would otherwise not be apparent, using "City on the Edge of Forever" as the event that changes each of the "trinity". The Kirk book has some weird stuff with the Nexus, but overall its not terrible.

Actually, the "Temporal Cold War" figured into much of the first two seasons. (We never did find out the identity of "Future Guy", the mysterious figure ordering the Suliban around.)
Brannon Braga claimed on Twitter they were going to reveal Future Guy to be ARCHER.

I'm not sure how serious to take him though.

I'm still working my way through Enterprise. I rather like it, though I wish it could have had less network influence. The theme song, the sexy decon rubdowns... Braga & Berman wanted the whole first season to be earthbound! That would have been interesting, I think.
