I find it more really Star Trek than all of Voyager and most of the old canon movies. It’s fun, that’s really Star Trek.

I found the first Faux Trek movie absurd and the canon characters unrecognizable--with good reason, because the guy who hatched out that abomination said he never went back to to review the original characters. Hence the disconnect.

Somewhere I read that each age gets the Star Trek it deserves. The original ST was about a meritocracy, with a starship crewed with the best of the best. The Faux Trek movie advanced Kirk-the-Hatching to captain in the kind of wish fulfillment adolescent fantasy I expect from Mercedes Lackey. Faux Trek is the perfect Star Trek for the Entitled to Everything generation.

The first Star Trek was fun.
TNG was the UN in space.
DS9 was dark but had some pretty good drama.
Voyager sucked.
Enterprise had a lot of promise but never fulfilled.
And JJ Trek is once again fun.

If each age gets the Trek we deserve I wanna know what we finally did right. It ain’t Faux Trek, it’s REAL Trek, actually entertaining, adventurous, and enjoyable. I feel sad for the whiny fans who feel the need to complain about it. You’ve missed the point on Trek for 45 years.
