Faux Trek.

Nah, I'd say DS9 and Enterprise are faux Trek. Quinto's a dead ringer for Nimoy, as this latest photo on the shooting of the 12th (NOT 2nd as the media keeps claiming) movie reminds us. I'd VERY glad they didn't take the standard Hollywood route "reimagining" the characters for "modern" audiences.

Agreed. Why couldn’t they have invented a whole new cast? What’s wrong with that? What’s wrong with another cocky young captain? Maybe a full-blooded Vulcan for him to deal with? It’s just a little bit said that they can’t expand their horizon. Wasn’t there an idea for the generation after Next Generation that suffered a setback (i.e., Starfleet is broken up), they’re on their own, with a ship that is damaged, and they have to scavenge parts, find dilithium crystals, etc., while still dealing with other aliens as they try to find allies to rebuild Starfleet? I think that would have been great.
