Well I went,against my best wishes,to see the new Star Trek Movie.It blew donkey dong!They didn`t even try to follow ANY of Roddenberry’s time-line!The later recycled menagerie episodes (I forget the titles) indicated that the Enterprise had already sailed to Talos before any of the characters had even gone to Star fleet academy.Kirk,in lamenting Pike`s accident,mentions that Captain Pike`s voyages were required reading during his academy days!They expect a cheap gimmick like a change in time lines to alter things that much?And the idea that a super nova could endanger the galaxy is absurd.Even a gamma ray burst wouldn`t do that.The plot was forced and haphazard at best,the only thing I liked was the FX.I don`t care how much money it`s earned at the box office,it sucked big time.
Well, you knew that before going to the theater, didn't you? It's a "reboot" of TOS with a different timeline.
