Yeah the fact the AU is different doesn't really bother me and I was willing to go along with Kirk being a jerk in the first movie because it looked like he learned his lesson at the end of that movie but then when he was an even bigger jerk in the second movie and we got Blingons, that was were I lost it. Well that and when all the 9/11 truther stuff showed up in the story and people's actions stopped making a lick of sense. Oh and that stupid death cure, I mean is McCoy just too stupid to know that he should take a sample of Khan's blood and replicate the death cure in it or in the next movie is everyone who died in this one going to be alive again?

As I said I was willing to go along with the dumb stuff(but that super nova was still pretty dumb)if that was what was needed to get Star Trek back if the next movie showed some improvement, but instead the next movie was even dumber and I hated Kirk even more.

This is just painful. I hope whoever the new writer is will have enough clout and good ideas that they can turn things around, really I do but it seems like Paramount is actively trying to destroy Star trek, so i don't hold out much hope.
