Your over the top hatred of the Star Trek movies does border on the irrational. I don't see any difference between the action / plots from either generation of movies. I never understood that The Onion bit about the first movie.

It's not over the top. Set aside the "plot" for a second - I liked the characters from TOS. I did not like the characters (at all, even a little bit) in the Abrams movie - isn't that enough to discontinue? Don't agree with it - that's your right, but don't try to dismiss my criticism of it as some kind of irrational, emotionally based response. I do not enjoy the "modern" filmmaking style.

Does that mean I do not like action movies? No. I really enjoyed The Avengers and liked (not loved) Man of Steel.

I have criticisms of Star Trek V and VI, for that matter, and that included TOS cast members directing the last films that had the TOS crew together.

The Coens are my second fave director (after Ridley) and I still haven't seen True Grit - I enjoyed the original movie and am hesitant.

I'm hesitant to watch Fringe because of Abrams, honestly.

Regardless of Trek. If you like Sci-Fi, Fringe simply can't be set aside.

I'll take it under advisement.
