I don't give a damn if most of the Trekkers don't like the new Star Trek. Go watch your TNG, you who were in your twenties and thirties when TNG came on. Give those of us who grew up with Star Trek from a young age something cool again.

Grew up with Star Trek?  It ran for a total of 3 seasons.  Unless you were 10 when it aired, you didn't grow up with Star Trek.

I was 14 or 15 when TNG came out.  That was after no Star Trek for many years.  But even I saw and enjoyed TOS.  Many of us don't need flashy effects and huge explosions to enjoy Star Trek.  The dream of traveling to far away places in deep space was enough to get some of us totally hooked.

All Good Things certainly seemed to have a moral message to me.  That message was "be careful what you wish for".  Isn't that the one where Picard had wished that he hadn't gotten involved with that fight?  And by not getting involved with that fight, he ended up in Engineering instead of becoming captain of a starship.  He took the "safe" route, so he was never considered for any positions that would involve taking risks.  Maybe it wasn't a "save the whales" message like Star Trek IV, but it certainly had a message to it.
