As an old fan I found the reboot solves all problems. You still have the original universe with the original characters doing their thing and you have modified original characters in a spin off universe that are not locked into the life and death of the old. Stories can be made fresh without one knowing what’s going to happen.
I can watch Wrath of Kahn and enjoy that and watch Into Darkness and get the the fanboy jolt of the familiar and the new story that the reboot allows
Win win
Yeah, I really respect the way they basically severed off the old time line so it’s still there for anybody stupid enough to want to wrestle with hundreds of hours of unplanned conflicting continuity. And it gives them the out, they didn’t do anything to that Trek, don’t complain about changes because they didn’t make any.
But the faithful will never forgive them for making the highest grossing Trek movie a reboot, no matter how gracefully they handled it.
Yea and with Transwarp Beaming no need for starships anymore and with Bones curing death no need to die anymore.
And really, who needs the planet Vulcan anyways?
JJ is the BEST!!!!
