Hey, man, if you like incoherent shoot-em-ups in outer space, Faux Trek is for you. Even the BAD TOS episodes made sense (even if they were silly) and cutting out explanations and motivations because you think it is “boring” IS bad filmmaking. Pardon me all over the place if I’d like to know what’s going on instead of a jump-cut to the next action sequence. If Abrams had done TWOK, he’d have cut it down to 5 minutes - the Eel scene, the Reliant vs. Enterprise scene and the Genesis Detonation and that would’ve been it. Besides, you keep mistaking me for a big TNG fan, I’m not. I’m a TOS fan. I wasn’t very big on the TNG films, they were OK, but nothing more. I will say it on and on, it was NOT a Trek film. I found it subpar as a film and outright insulting to Trek fans. A middle finger from Star Wars fanbois.

See that’s the problem with you canon worshippers. you rudely insult everybody that likes their Trek fun. And you studiously ignore the fact that there’s actually quite a bit of not action sequence in JJ’s movie.

I’m not “mistaking” you for anything. By your own words you’re a canon guy. You’ve said it outright. I don’t care which version of Trek is your favorite, as soon as you start complaining about canon, as soon as you start declaring something “not Trek” just because it doesn’t follow some exact and silly formula you declare yourself a canon guy who frankly was part of the problem on what ruined Trek.

Every time you say it’s not Trek you tell us tons of unflattering things about yourself. It WAS Trek and it complimented REAL Trek fans. The only people it gave a finger to was the same crowd Shatner gave the finger to in the infamous SNL sketch. And Shatner was right. And JJ was right. And you are wrong. It was Trek, it was REAL Trek that exists as a SHOW not a religion.
