Here comes news that shook my world! My beloved British actor, Benedict Cumberbatch, was cast in “Star Trek 2” as a villain!
Of course he would be a villain, especially in an American movie. He has high cheekbones, has a British accent, and most of all, American people like to see British actor as wicked!
The problem is that I haven’t watched any of the grand epics that inspired so many people for more than 40 years. I couldn’t imagine how much effort I would have to put in until 2013 before the movie is released. More tentative than resolute, I looked it up in Wikipedia, and found the staggering fact that I have 701 drama episodes and 11 movies to go!
Recently, I’ve realized that I am a full time English learner, reader, and avid drama watcher, rather than a researcher in my free time. Now that I have a pressing deadline, I can waste no time. I’d better wrap up whatever I have been doing, and rush into the starship Enterprise to start a new mission: to explore strange new worlds!
好きな俳優さんが来年公開の映画、Star Trekに出演予定とのことで、Star Trekシリーズの予習をすることにしました。Wikiでシリーズを調べたら全部で700話くらい。(*_*) 仕事なんかしてる場合じゃないかも…。
悪役とのことなので、全身緑だったり、顔にイボイボがあったり、ヘンなツノが生えてたりするんじゃなかろうかと不安なのであります。
関係ないけど、犬の二段重ね。
I have watched all those 701 episodes and the movies. I can assure you that it’s well worth the effort. Just go for it, even if the 60’s series seems a bit unintentionally funny or boring from time to time.
Thank you for your comment! I was wondering in what order should I watch these episodes, but decided to watch them from the beginning! I hope they are as good as the last movie.
