Sorry but are you absolutely sure that’s a fact? Have they possibly changed the definition and not told me.

You absolute idiot. Why is it so difficult for people to understand that it’s possible to hold a valid OPINION other than their own? Your OPINION is that Abrams Trek is bad. Many, many other people hold an opposing OPINION. Does that make them wrong? NO IT DOES NOT. Get that into your head, please.

A rather obnoxious text. Nevertheless, thanks for the link.

And to answer to bradley’s reply to my previous post… Well, yes, I, too, have an opinion, of course, but I think there is enough evidence to support the notion that Trek indeed has degenerated rather than evolved further. Many Trek fans would concur with this, and I’d say that this observation, if made objectively, leads to an objective conclusion. Just because something bears a particular name, in this case Star Trek, doesn’t necessarily mean it is the original. This is the classic example of copy vs. original. To illustrate this with an example from a ST:TNG episode, Lt. Astor dies in an accident on a planet, and upon return to the Enterprise the little boy is seemingly reunited with his mother, i.e. Lt. Astor. Actually, an alien entity has taken the form of his mother which now wants to bond with this boy. But the child is naive and does not realize that it is an illusion, a copy. The boy wants his mother badly, and so the entity can trick him. However, Picard and Troi are aware that Lt. Astor is dead, and what appears before them is only a form without substance. It is a soulless entity which could never give the little Jeremy the true affection. So, in a similar manner, current Trek is a sort of soulless entity, lacking essence. As to your accusation that I am a zealot, that’s just ridiculous and unfounded. Regarding episodes, as a matter of fact I’ve seen them all, not just once. And by all, I mean all five series. So, I have some idea of what Star Trek isabout. I don’t think I’m reading too much into it, but exactly that much as should be read. In addition to being a fun, intelligent sci-fi, Star Trek is also about exploration – of human condition as well as of space. It is also a vehicle for examining some human issues philosophically. Star Trek ain’t Stargate, Star Wars, or something like that. I thought that was obvious enough. But, obviously, it doesn’t seem that obvious since this shallow and empty cliche, leaning towards the original idea only in form but not in substance, is considered genuine Trek. What a rip off. I just hope they reset the whole alternate universe thing and tell us this didn’t actually happen at all. .

Something for fans to think about, before slandering J.J. Abrams and his noble efforts.
