I do not know any proper Star Trek fans who like them, sure they appeal to those who like pointless visual effects and have limited attention spans. <br /><br />Abrams has admitted he never was a fan, so how the hell does he get to pillage decades of established cannon and redefine everything on our behalf. I see none of Gene Roddenberry's vision in these films, they dont even feel like real Trek, just a group of half-committed actors doing a half-assed impersonations of established and much loved characters millions of us grew up with. <br /><br />What makes me really angry is many of us want a new TV series based on the original premise, this cack has set that possibility back years. The Hollywood penny counters won't allow a new series if they think they can make a few more movies. My greatest fear is with my health failing, I may not ever get to see real Star Trek again. Abrams has robbed me of that. I shudder to think what he will do to Star Wars.<br /><br />As for blowing up Vulcan and Eggs Benedict Cucumberpatch as Khan v2.. well.. as the proper Khan said 'dont insult my intellect'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20273746.post-84938674943983253472013-09-27T20:15:54.495-07:002013-09-27T20:15:54.495-07:00The new JJ Abrams versions of Star Trek maybe many...The new JJ Abrams versions of Star Trek maybe many things, but Star Trek they are not.
