re: Any other Star Trek:TOS fans hate the Abrams stuff?

I agree with this entirely.

I don't care how good he was as a temporary Captain. There is a track in any military organization and he would have to be on it that to see promotion. He certainly couldnt go from O-1 to O-6 in a matter of a few days. The only angle I can think of was Nero devastated the fleet and there were a shite ton of battle field promotions (much like World War 2 when are armed forces suddenly expanded to millions of men and suddenly you had a shite ton of very young Generals).

Beyond that though I really thought JJ did a good job with capture the spirit of the Original Trek.

Then again I was never much of a fan of anything past TNG...

Same here pretty much. Though I did like the extended war sections on DS9 from time to time.

I'm not really a fan of JJ outside of Fringe and this Star Trek movie, but I though he did a solid job rebooting the series, despite some silly things like the Kirk promotion and the flares.
