Star Trek 2 Set Pics: Who's Up For A Vulcan Nerve Pinch?

After the phenomenal success of the Star Trek reboot movie by JJ Abrams, Trek fans have been waiting a very looooong time for the next movie to begin filming. Finally, in January this year, production kicked off for the second "Star Trek" reboot film, with no changes to the primary cast.

JJ has been caught up with several high-profile projects in the past few years. The charming retro kids' adventure movie "Super 8", the Lost-like "Prisoner of the Week" new TV series "Alcatraz", moody time-crossing scifi TV show "Fringe" and the explosive spy franchise "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" are just some of them. 

So much so, that the "Star Trek" movie was put on hold till he could have more time to focus on it. Especially since he's back at the directors' chair.

Vulcan Maneuvers

{{{ RAGE }}} A powerful emotion.

It can even compel the supposedly smallest, leanest of folks to command that surge of energy required to release the feeling of (repressed?) aggression.

It's even made more dangerous when you have the know-how to administer the painful Vulcan neck pinch. Not much biceps muscles required for that...

Have to admit that it can get pretty useful when you have lots of enemies though. Or someone really annoying that you want to shut up. Plus, you'd look really graceful doing the maneuver even though you are really, really pissed off. Like Spock.

Beats hitting someone clumsily over the head any time.

Have you had the strong urge to use the Vulcan neck pinch on someone lately?? Feel free to vent in the comments section ....
