"There is a doom inexorable and a law inviolable, or there is a providence that can be merciful, or else there is chaos that is purposeless and ungoverned. If a resistless fate, why try to struggle against it? If a providence willing to show mercy, do your best to deserve its divine succour. If chaos undirected, give thanks that amid such stormy seas you have within you a mind at the helm. If the waters overwhelm you, let them overwhelm flesh, breath, and all else, but they will never make shipwreck of the mind".
Marcus Aurelius.

ReplyDeleteIsn't it just? I've just finished 'Meditations' and that really stuck out.

Not really, No. I haven't liked most of the ST movies - the only one's I did like were 'Wrath of Khan', 'First Contact' & 'Insurrection'. The rest were very average at best. The last movie 'Nemesis' was terrible.
I've seen some of the trailers which have not exactly filled me with confidence - particularly the one where you see the Enterprise being constructed on the ground (which is ridiculous). Considering that the NX-01 was built in space - where it should be built - I couldn't help wondering what else they've played around with.
I'll probably see it - but my expectations won't be very high.
