Lily: Did you hear there’s the new movie coming out? The trailer looks super awesome.
Jeff: Huh, no, I have not heard that. What’s it called?
Lily: It’s called “Into Darkness.” I love Star Trek because it’s all about the exploration of the unknown. Meeting strange aliens, and the final frontier. It’s so cool.
Jeff: Yeah, do you know what this one’s about?
Lily: I saw the trailer and it looked awesome. There’s a completely blown-out city and Kirk and Spock are just standing there looking really cool.
Jeff: You know what I like about Star Trek? Just space, astronomy, in general is fascinating. There’s so much unknown stuff out there. There’s so much room for exploration.
Lily: I think, also, exploration of space and science fiction in general is about hope and creating something new and cutting-edge. Lots of inventions have actually come out of the original Star Trek series. Lots of great inventions.
Jeff: You don’t say.
Lily: Yeah.
Jeff: Cool.

Lily is very excited about Star Trek: Into Darkness. She’s a big fan of Star Trek, especially the original series. She doesn’t know very much about the new movie, except that it involves Spock and Kirk exploring a city that’s been destroyed. She thinks it looks really cool.
Jeff likes Star Trek, too, and he thinks that outer space in general is really cool. He likes the fact that almost everything about space is unknown. Space is really the final frontier, and there’s always something new to explore.
