Good news, I'd also very much love to see a new series based on the "second" incarnation of Star Trek (TNG/Voyager/DS9), which for me is "the real Star Trek". I could never really suspend my disbelief with the 1st series...

Maybe because it was too fun and watchable? The Onion review of the previous Star Trek movie feels perfect: http://www.theonion.com/video/trekkies-bash-new-star-trek-fi... ;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWLGH0VHUVs Red Letter Media's take on "Into Darkness". Yes, even as an action flick it sucks.
Maybe it falls apart if you look at it too closely or from a particular critical angle, but I would expect it to hold together than most broad-audience action pictures.

Why didn't you like Into Darkness?
I liked it until I thought about it later. But while I was watching it I really really enjoyed it. Afterwards, I thought about it as a story and it didn't make much sense. I'm also still trying to figure out how Kirk is a captain of a star ship right out of the academy in a way that is plausible and doesn't require an actual antigravity machine to suspend my disbelief.

#44Watched a few minutes and decided it's worth bookmarking. Maybe it can wash out the awful taste in my after watching "Into Darkness". I have to wonder about the IP issues. I didn't see anything on their site regarding what will stop CBS from going after them.

I thought Firefly was a pretty good attempt, shame it didn't take off.
It was OK. I don't think it was better than TNG when it first came out.

#46growing up, i liked startrek as vision of the future i can't follow this kind of fetishising of an outdated vision

I think it makes sense. Still it is more interesting than just a kind of future-in-the-past exercise.Re: “Star Trek Continues”: Fan-made episodes carry on the five-year mission

I had countless moments in that film where I was snapped out of moment of watching a movie and checking my phone to see what time it was. Closest I've ever come to walking out of a scifi movie. Near the end of the film, I was desperately hoping that Kahn would kill them all.
Some really great explosions, though. Jerry Bruckheimer would be proud to produce such a fiasco. I expected better of Abrams.
