That's right -- nuTrek utterly destroys Roddenberry’s vision of 23rd-century humans and Earth!
Roddenberry shared his vision of Earth and humanity, and JJ and crew ignored everything! The word of Roddenberry was dismissed!
What was ignored?
Well, there's a whole list...
- James Kirk was named for his mother’s “first love instructor,” not his grandfather!
- George Kirk as just another of his mother's love instructors.
- Kirk's academy class had less "intellectual agility" than previous classes.
- "New Humans" who are willing to meld their own identities and individuality into a group consciousness versus rare "Primitives" like Kirk who still follow ancient customs like taking the last name of your father. In fact, using the father's surname is quite rare among most humans.
- Humanity moving beyond primitive monogamy and becoming swingers.
- The Federation installing cybernetic implants (senceivers) in Starfleet member's heads.
- A lower Mediterranean Sea because the Mediterranean Alliance built the Gibraltar hydroelectric complex!
- TOS isn't really canon but is instead a grossly exaggerated version of events in which the crew were portrayed as larger than life and the events were distorted by a misguided Starfleet PR campaign.
Where was this in the new film?
This was the official vision of 23rd-century humans and Earth from Gene Roddenberry, shared with us in 1979, and now it has been totally betrayed!
Now don't go screaming "not canon!" because this is the word of Trek's creator himself, as bestowed upon us in the official movie tie-in of the pinnacle of Star Trek at its absolute purest: Star Trek: The Motion Picture!
