Let me also say that I have heard that it is a great movie and if you can put down your Fan rage for the two hours it takes to watch it, you will enjoy it. I do plan to try to do that. And I have no doubt that J.J. Abrams will deliver a good showing and that it will be a fun movie. Those things are not really in doubt.

What bothers me is the property they choose. I think that is really the crux of the matter. As I said there are lots of other stories in the Star Trek Universe they could have played with that I would have been fine with them messing with. The biggest problem I have here is this. You take the one Star Trek Property that almost all of the fans agree is as good as it is going to get, and you mess with it. Even if this is not a TWOK reboot, (which I have been told it is not and I believe) you still are messing with what just about everyone agrees is a nearly perfect story. Why not tell any other story in the Star Trek Universe. Why not the story of the infamous Enterprise B, that never managed to get out from under the shadow that A it was the first one not Captained by Kirk and B was the one that “killed him.” Why not go with The Enterprise F with a whole new crew. Oh for goodness sake, if you have to reboot something reboot something that needed rebooting, Mudd’s Women, The Balance of Terror, which was a great episode but it would have contiuned on the theme from the first movie of an antagonism between Kirk, Spock and the rest of the crew.
