[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 6100821, member: 3887"] Not to belabor this --any more than we're already belaboring it-- but not all of the existing fanbase felt flipped off. Pretty much every old-school Trekkie I know, myself included, enjoyed the hell out of Abrams-Trek. Also, re: sex jokes... recall that in TOS the Starfleet uniform for women was a miniskirt and go-go boots... that should qualify as a running sex joke, at least to non-1960s audiences. Also note all the cleavage and crazy up-dos. You have great taste in Trek! A lot of TOS episodes were really better described as morality plays, kinda like Playhouse 90 in Space. Then there were all the topical episodes which were pretty explicitly about the then current-day world, from a very American perspective (Cold War!, Racism! Hippies!). And I read a great essay over at Grantland which made the case that TNG was very much about the late 80s/90s. The Coen brothers version was much, much better. Then you're missing out on some of the best Trek ever. The Dominion War is the first, and best, attempt at a sustained dramatic arc in the Trek universe, with no shortage of standout episodes, like "In the Pale Moonlight". Did you watch BC in The Last Enemy? My wife and I caught the first episode on a Netflix and weren't too impressed. Does it get better? I hope so, 'cause I really like Cumberbatch (and Francis Begbie, err, Robert Carlyle... who doesn't have a speaking role in ep. 1) [/QUOTE]
