The minute Abrams broke the TOS canon and went into the alternate timeline I got up and walked out of the movie. It was bad enough the couldn’t explain how Chekov remained an ensign for like 20 years. Time-wise Chekov would have been in kindergarten when Kirk was a young officer. The whole plot line was full of inconsistent holes.
I haven’t seen a single one of the Abrams Star Trek’s and don’t plan to!
rumor has it that the recent star wars jjabrams directed was so mired in stupidity that the suits simply told him “just copy the 1977 movie.”
