JJ Abrams: You changed history, but BROUGHT.IT.BACK!

[Tiggeroshii]

Who's with me?

[Javaman]

1. Apparently, not many. nt

[Tiggeroshii]

5. Haha

my thoughts exactly...

[mduffy31]

2. I'm with you

I am a giant Trek nerd and I loved it. I don't care that it doesn't follow exactly as before, anyone who has a problem with it. "GET A LIFE!"

[rcrush]

3. Yeah he did

BUT WTF it somehow worked out.


So does this mean there will never be a Lt Saavik? They will never go to Vulcan so Spock and Kirk can duel in the Pon Far ritual?

[Tiggeroshii]

6. Well

They said they were moving the refugees onto a vacant colony on another planet.

So one way or another, that planet is the new Vulcan. or New Vulcan?

[Maiden England]

4. JJ is a movie God

I scoffed, I doubted, I insulted and I was WRONG.

Should have known that a dude that could make a good film with Tom Cruise in it was a freaking genius...

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

7. i heartily endorse the new film

star trek is fun for the first time since 1991

[Tiggeroshii]

9. Not a big TNG fan?

or was it the following spinoffs that got you down?

[JTG of the PRB]

8. You're damned right he did!

He did the original material incredible justice, yet made Star Trek His own.

Though, the point now becomes, there are two Star Treks - the original Star Trek, and the new Star Trek.

I love them both, for both are very good.

10. My only complaint is that it erases everything that made ST in the first place.

All the ground-breaking stuff from the original series like the City on the Edge of Forever never happens now. Kahn never happens. Nomad never happens. The slat-sucking monster never happens. No tribbles, no Kirak, no Pike as a burn victim, "I'm not going back, Jim," no Spock's Mom. And, probably, no next generation. The only thing left untouched is the Enterprise spin-off of which I seem to be the only fan.

But yeah, except for that, I really liked it. It was a really fun movie, unlike ST TMP, ST V, ST Generations, ST Insurrection or ST Nemisis or every episiode of the original series where Enterprise people are captured by aliens and forced to fight each other.

11. I don't think it necessarily does

It just creates an alt time line that runs alongside the previous one.

The stories that will be told from here on out will be from the second newer time line. That doesn't mean that the other one stops or never happened.

There's two Trek lines now. ToT (The original time line) and TnT (The new time line)

That's how I'm considering it anyway.
