By comparison (not to 1-Up anyone, but just by comparison), I have seen every movie and every episode of all the shows. Most of them more than once.

I’m late-gen X, so I grew up with TNG, but I didn’t like TOS much until more recently (given the campiness and overdramatic acting)—whereas I like everything TNG and afterward, hands down. Well… everything post-Riker-beard. 😃

The TNG movies, by and large, are meh. I like the Kirk movies except V and the theatrical version of The Motion Picture (The V’Ger Incident fanedit was decent). I also love ST '09 and ST:Beyond, but I haven’t seen the Star Trek Vengeance fanedit of Into Darkness yet to know where it weighs in for me. Theatical ST:ID is too long and unfocused on who the real villain is.

I’m still waiting for that kitten edit of STID.

I’ll never be happy till you give me a haircut while watching The Next Generation and you’ve had a few beers in you. I’d love to see how that haircut turns out 😉

Okay, now I’ve seen Star Trek: Vengeance. The Seeds of Wrath fanedit was okay, I guess. Vengeance, however, was amazing. He seems to have fixed whatever issues I had with the movie. Yes, Benedict Cumberbatch (STID Khan) is absolutely no Ricardo Montalban (TOS/WOK Khan), but there are far fewer callbacks to TOS in this edit, allowing the new cast to stand on their own. And I didn’t feel like this lulled in the middle like the theatrical release does. It’s really good.

So yes, now I like the whole Kelvin Timeline thus far.

What is an '09 edit you’d recommend?

Vengeance is absolutely fantastic. One of the best fanedits in general I’ve seen, and it’s the definitive version of STID for me.

And yeah, I generally liked ST09 and really liked Beyond. If you put Vengeance in the middle in place of STID, the trilogy increases in quality as it goes on.

I know I’m a monster, but while I liked '09 and STID, Beyond was very meh to me.

I just saw this edit, after last seeing the original over a year ago. This is the first edit I’ve seen that makes me wonder why I disliked the original, since it’s so seamless in excising the bad. It all seems effortless, which is all the more impressive since there were so many changes.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

I did like STID but I might have to check that out after all. TM2YC is a good editor.
