I haven't seen said movie yet, but considering the first one included a ship that could contain a giant ass ball of space imploding matter, I assume their special matter containment techniques are pretty good by now. I'm glad that the new startrek future includes a starfleets that's smart enough to put solid safeties on an engine powered by a gigaton bomb, before locating their headquarters in a major city.
It does make me wonder, could a permanent magnetic field contain ionized (or is that anti-ionized) anti-matter?
Why did Admiral Marcus have a model of the Vengeance on his desk? Other models on his desk included the Phoenix and the NX-class Enterprise. (Nice continuity nods, there.)
But why the Vengeance? I mean, the whole point was that the Vengeance project was supposed to be a sooper-sekrit program, that the ship was being built off the official books and probably in violation of quite a few Starfleet policies, and that it wasn't even manned by regular Starfleet personnel.
So why on Earth have a model of the ship on your desk, where everybody and their brother can see it and wonder, "That's an intriguing-looking model; I wonder what the Admiral's trying to tell us by displaying it so prominently?".

Bring a green drink. When people ask you what it is, reply, "It is green." Done.
I used to be able to buy Chartreuse at 110 proof but I think it was cut back to 100 proof or less. Haven't had any of that for a long time. My dad used to have several bottles of Moonshine, and I have no idea what proof it was but it was potent. I tried it straight a couple of times.

How and why did the plastic model companies have models of the 'Stealth Fighter' long before the government admitted that it even existed?
I just got back from seeing it in 3D at the IMax. I too pronounce it quite excellent for a Star Trek movie. Not sure why anyone would complain about it -- I sure as hell won't, after having sat through TOS Season Three, TNG season one (two wasn't much better), Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek V, and Star Trek Nemesis... I know, there were some other Trek movies that were not good, but those were just awful. Actually come to think of, I don't think I ever did sit through all of V...
This was p. damn worthy imo. Lots of good moments already mentioned -- but I especially liked how Quinto nailed this scene:
Pike: Are you giving me attitude, Spock?
Spock: I am expressing many attitudes. To which are you referring?

I am avoiding the spoilers until tomorrow. I ended up going to my local pub to try different recipes for Romulan ale without having to buy half the liquor store. When we arrived, they were playing Dune on all the big screens, just so's you know we were in the right place.
Cosplay is optional tomorrow. I am thinking of painting myself green and wearing a feminist shirt and being "Orion Feminist Girl" but I can't decide whether that is awesome or groanable.
Contra was leaning groanable, but he is biased against painted costumes after my Medusa of many moons ago. Oh god, and that headress weighed like four thousand pounds and I don't even like to think about it. Plus, I think he is sad because he wouldn't have a costume to wear. Even though he does a mean Kirk impression.
