I tried to watch an episode, I really did. But about half way through I started pounding my head into my keyboard, so I turned it off and deleted the episode, then went out and bought a new keyboard. I think it would have been cool if they would have made a whole new spin off series and developed their own charecters. I know they said that they believe Kirk, Spock and Bones to be charecters like Hammlet that can be portrayed in many different ways, but honestly, Shatner is Kirk! And they don't seem like they are trying to portray the charecters in their own way, they seem like they are trying to act just like the original actors. I burst out laughing when I first heard the new Chekov speak. I guess it is only for the extreme ST fans.

And to try to un-derail the thread, I saw one of the new Star Trek SEs, I really don't think the whole thing is as sinister as the Star Wars SEs. It looks like all they are trying to do is update the special effects so they can HD them. It looks pretty bad quality because they are doing it so low budget (guess it is becoming a trend to do half hearted work when updating special effects.
