Re-watched 2009 Star Trek reboot with the lab for movie night...

Spock: While the essence of our culture has been saved in the elders who now reside upon this ship, I estimate no more than 10,000 have survived. I am now a member of an endangered species.
Post-doc: ...half-member.

Because I like to torture myself with things I can't see until I finish my thesis. And also with things that won't come out for half a year. (The fall movies don't have trailers yet, but I'll add them as they come out.)
