January 9, 20196 yr Not surprising. I have mixed feelings on this mainly because I'm still torn about these films not really being Star Trek. They got the J. J. Abrahms makeover that focuses on action and wide appeal over story. I like the new films, just miss the Roddenberry ideals. Maybe this will give them room to go another direction.
January 10, 20196 yr I agree. They lost the drama and interpersonal relationships that made Star Trek so special. ✨ Edited January 10, 20196 yr by Gator
January 11, 20196 yr I kinda looked at the reboot movies as an alternate /parallel universe type thing where pretty much the same stuff happens just to different characters or in a slightly different way. My theory is one morning after a serious night of green girl sex Kirk let a serious SBD in the shower and passed out. This caused a divergence in the time line and the reboots are that alternate universe while the original series is after he woke up. Hey its possible... ask The Doctor.
