I take it for what it is -- a ST popcorn flick. I don't like it as much as the pre-Abrams stuff.
I completely understand this position.

But, I don't mind popcorn flicks. I'm not huge on the new universe, but I do look forward to the new one coming out soon and hope that it sparks a new series one day that comes back to the universe done before Abrams.
That's the epiphany I came to in this process - "Maybe they can fix it?" which leads to, "Hey, they f*cked this up and they're not going to fix it", followed by , "Hey, they f*cked it up, deny they f*cked it up and they say I'M f*cked for not liking it", and finally, "F*ck them."
I guess the hate grew just like that.

So, there is a lot of hate for JJ's ST coming from Ace. I understand your dislike of the new movies. I respectfully disagree with you, but understand it none the less.
In all Honesty unless you watched TOS when they came out or had a solid understanding of that time period, they are dumb as frick. Now with placing TOS in its proper perspective, the 60's and what it did as far as having Kirk kiss Uhura a big shocker for that time, ST brought social themes into light using a fantasy canvas. Kirk could bang all the green skin 4 tittied solar skanks he wanted but kissing a black woman OMG!!!!! The whole premise was to show what Human kind could be once they move past the greed and selfishness, and act as one focused community on bettering themselves.
DS9 I wanted to like but that bitch with the nose killed it for me. Although having Hawk in it was badass.
Voyager. 7 of Nine was hot, Cpt. Jane needed to be shot.
TNG was ok. It seemed the whole series had this smug "Look at how civilized we are" vibe to it.
I like the JJ S.T. It keeps the Cannon of the original story in place and creates a new path for the series to take. Kirk is angrier, more balsy and a bigger man-whore. Spock is still a prick. Scotty is, well scotty, and Sulu isn't a gay man anymore.
