No if I hated the prequels and liked the new Star Trek then Id be a hypocrite as I would like the new Star Trek for almost the same reasons I hated the prequels IE they arent Star Wars. The Prequels are Star Wars, they were fucking made by Lucas while the new Trek is revisionist horseshit that has nothing to do with Star Trek. It wasnt made by any of its creators seeing as both Roddenberry's are dead now. I find it abhorrent that the new movie is SO much not Star Trek it makes me wish that ass Berman was back in charge.

Yeah, that movie made me long for the days of realistic doomsday weapons, like the Genesis Device, that could resurrect the dead.

And that lame time travel story made me long for the hard-science thinking man's time travel story like Star Trek 4. Black holes don't cause time travel. Flying around the sun really fast causes time travel.

And those horrific action sequences! Where were the Shatner-esque flying cross bodyblocks and double ax handles?!? And why was Star Fleet so competent? I like my Star Fleet so inept that they can't even keep track if planets explode (the main plot point in Wrath of Khan).

I hated how they used Chekov and Scotty for comic relief instead of having them do intelligent things like saying Cinderella is an old Russian fairy tale, or knock their heads on beams.

But the worst was how they made Kirk into some arrogant wonder boy, loved by women, admired by men, a maverick who does his own thing and saves the day, rules be damned. What a Mary Sue!

Seriously, why even CALL it Star Trek?
