The Star Wars universe was like a pure, vestal virgin when it was (and still is) based simply on the coherent, well-made movies of the original trilogy. With the special editions and the prequels, however, it's like George Lucas came along and raped his pristine daughter through the eye socket.

Star Trek, on the other hand, has been an old, wrinkly, STD-ridden whore for many, many years now. This behavior that worships the Star Trek universe in its current state reminds me of the idiots that worship the Star Wars universe after the prequels came out. People that devote themselves to either are loving something that isn't all that great anymore.

Star Trek has amazing portions that I love. I am happy to call myself a Star Trek fan because of them. However, if you want to talk about "lame" contradictions, "lame" explanations, and "lame" story ideas existing in other parts of the Star Trek universe, you're about 30 years too late. While I'm willing to agree that JJ might be like a drunken frat boy out to humiliate and abuse the local town whore, she's not exactly going to be doing anything with him that she hasn't done before and, heck, she'll be getting some money out of it.
