I couldn’t make it through that article. What an embarrassment for the New Yorker to have to be forever associated with such nonsense. I can’t help but think it’s trolling because of the part describing the “unlimited power” line as something to cheer for. It reminds me of a critic on rotten tomatoes who gave every Star Trek film a negative review except for Star Trek V: the Final Frontier, saying, “Who knew it just needed William Shatner in the director’s seat to breathe new life to the franchise” or something like that, which just has to be a fraudulent joke.
For the record, the best Trek films are 1, 5, and 10.
