I would love to slap this guy upside the head......

for what he's done to Star Trek.

I admit, I saw the first one he did. I just couldn't get into the changes he made to the franchise as a whole. The look of the ship and it's bridge, the incredibly attractive cast members, the obvious reliance on action scenes and ship battles in place of believeable plot or actual character development, those kind of things. But I did stay for the whole thing because I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt, and as I left, I was confused and bewildered as to how this could have happened. How could WHATEVER I just saw POSSIBLY be considered "Star Trek" to ANYONE who had witnessed it? I just couldn't understand that this is what Abrams thought it was all about. And I still don't.

Everything Gene Roddenberry gave to the world, everything he put into his creation, everything he would have wanted it to become, was sadly absent in this "reboot". And I flatout refused to see the next one. And then even his own loyal acolytes began to turn on him for his excessive use of questionable filming techniques. I think you all know what I'm referring to here. I wasn't about to shed a single tear of sympathy for the man at that time, I was glad that people were criticizing the way they did.

For the love of God, I can even get behind some of what Berman, Braga, and Moore did to Trek after Gene's passing, but I just can't see fit to condone ANYTHING JJ has done for this "alternate reality" he and his writers created for the ST universe. I just can't get behind any of it. That's really all I wanted to say. JJ can go straight into a black hole and never return for all I care!
