Now look, Star Trek fans have no idea what they want.

Oh, no? I have a pretty good idea what I want from Star Trek: strong characters, exploration of alien worlds, philosophical discussions, and no conceited Roddenberry-styled utopianism or stupid technobabble.

The TOS films, TOS itself, and -- to a somewhat lesser extent -- DS9 did the job for me in most regards, TNG ... not so much, the TNG films not at all, and I've never seen Voyager or Enterprise as I became sick and tired of Berman & Braga's take on Trek while watching TNG and have absolutely no wish to ever see them.

Anyway, I can say with certainty that what I want from Trek doesn't include Kirk being promoted from cadet to captain, Kirk acting like a douchebag, swollen hands, black holes made out of red paint, the Enterprise nacelles looking like giant hair dryers, Khan becoming a white Brit, Sylar fucking Uhura, and all the other shit I've read about Abramstrek.
