And what's wrong with that? JJ Trek is not TOS. That doesn't mean it isn't fun.

Thank you, TV's.

No it's not TOS, but they are supposed to be the same characters. Their bastardization isn't even the worst offender of those films. The plots are so incredibly stupid and contrived it beggars belief.

I'll grant you that Abrams as a director is able to make a thrilling well-paced experience out of it but I should not ever need to turn off my brain to enjoy "Star Trek."

The fact that his productions make that a requirement immediately sucks any "fun" out of them for myself and many others.
