May the Great Bird of the Galaxy poop on all ye nay-sayers who gotta bash ..... and bash ...... and bash.
Like it or not, DeForest Kelly and James Doohan have left us. Trying to do more "old" Trek becomes more and more difficult due to that and the aging stars still here.
Paramount got what they wanted. It is not the best in the world but the 2009 film was no where near the worst thing Trek every made. J.J. Abrams may not be everyone's first choice but it's not like he killed Star Trek and is now moving in to kill off Star Wars. He's got a lot of hard core Star Wars fans that might even send him death threats just because ....... but he is a knowledgeable Director who can bring something special to a brand that has been watered down terribly by it's own creator.
With that said, I ask, please give it a rest. If ya gotta froth off at the mouth over it, go to the Star Trek forums and do it. Write JJ a post card, send Paramount a wet bag of poo if ya got to but let's stay on topic with this.
