The maketing really baffles me.  I mean it would be like Lucas if Lucas made a trailer for star wars episode 1 back in the day saying "forget everything you know about Star Wars". 

Despite the fact that the prequels were also made for a different and younger audience than the original star wars trilogy they were also at the same time catering to the old trilogy fans nostalgia, the final films quality being mediocre films has no bearing on the fact that Lucas tried to capture the magic of the old series and failed, just like indy IV.

Here they are shitting all over peoples beloved franchise and saying if your a fan of the canon star trek then stay at home.  Want to try the new flavor of the week pony up the 10 bucks and kiss them goodbye,lol.

Why can't there be room for both.  The 40 years of fandom does not end because of this film.  the original 6 classic films don't simply cease to exist because of this.  I mean as a trek fan i am happy we are getting tons of new comics, video games, and blu ray releases and the new movie may be a reason Paramount has not yet pulled the plug. 

I know it sounds funny but i am looking forward to What Alan Dean Foster can do with the terrible dialogue in his novelization.

You get both versions of the original series three seasons on blu ray old effects and new cgi seemless branched, Wrath of Khan completely restored from its original negative.  Trek Vi released in its theatrical version for the first time as well as the first movie in its theatrical presentation.

I mean the only negative is that the newly restored old effects version of the tv show which was saved for the blu ray release as a bonus feature (paramount the king of the double dipping scheme), and no such release announced for the cleaned up 1-6 on dvd.

You have no HDTV or Blu RAy then you are sunk.  Blu ray movies and players are very affordable now but tv prices are still high.

I mean things could be worse they could have had the enterprise E going back in time to stop nero.  Kinda a reversed generations passing of the torch backwards,lol.  Picard saves the Young Kirk and the crew of the enterprise 1701.

Or how come those temporal police from Enterprise show did not stop Nero,lol.
