Your rage post is more articulate than my rage post, for that you get mad props.
And this: But don't act like Star Trek TOS was fucking Plato's Republic and only the intelligentsia understood it, and that by removing the depth and the breadth, you have somehow distilled it to its best, most awesome form. Hits the nail right on the head. Because I really do get the impression that is what Abrams thinks he has done. When in reality, all he has done is taken a classic, and amazing Star Trek film, and turned it into a brainless action flick THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. *sigh*
