Star Trek Requests You Lobotomize Yourself Before Seeing the New Trek Movie
I assume. Because in the new trailer, they’re asking viewers to “Forget everything you know,” which is a good deal more severe than “Forget everything you know about Star Trek.” Why you need to lose all memories by May 8th, I’m not sure, but it’s not optional. What you had for dinner last night? Forget it. How to play the piano? Forget it. Your cherished memories of your mother? Forget it, asshole. And then you’re allowed to see Star Trek.
