The difference between Abrams "destroying" Star Trek and Lucas "destroying" Star Wars is this:

You can still put the original Star Trek episodes in your DVD player and watch them all you want, along with the movies (ST:TMP theatrical cut notwithstanding). And you can easily just not see, or ignore this one.

With Star Wars, Lucas went back and actually *did* destroy the originals, and the only DVD copies of those we have are laserdisc quality at best. And even if you don't mind the updated "originals," they contain enough references to the PT that you can't just as easily ignore those.

If you don't think it looks good, don't see it, but I don't see how screaming to the heavens "OH MY GOD ABRAMS IS RAPING STAR TREK SOMEBODY STOP HIM!" is going to help any. There are ten of those movies to choose from, and countless episodes of several different TV series. Pick one of those and watch it instead.

Me, I'm intrigued by this new film, and I will see it. Admittedly, I've never been the biggest Trek fan (I've seen all the movies, but few of the TOS episodes and none of any of the other series), but I don't think this looks like the shit everyone else seems to want it to be.
