Why can't Nimoy do the "Space..." thing correctly?

[...] You might dislike it for not being exactly the same as the TOS fanfare you heard every episode in the TV series, or you may dislike that the new movie's theme is there at all [...]

Wait... were you just... putting words in my mouth?
 
I don't get the objection. It sounded fine to me. But I'm sure Pine will do the famous voice-over in the next movie, another "passing of the baton" moment. -- RR
 
Leonard Nimoy IS Star Trek to me. He always has been, from the very beginning of the first pilot. It seemed very appropriate that he say it one last time...

No, merely suggesting possible reasons why you might not have liked it, since you offered no more specific reasons of your own than "Giacchino tried to update that timeless TOS fanfare to make it more cool, and he failed miserably" and "but once the fanfare starts (or rather his reinterpretation), it gets ugly in my ears". Mine were no more than guesses -- hence the words "you might" -- and whether those guesses were on or off the mark is something only you can say.
 
This is our mantra! You can't change that!! Didn't he change it at the end of TWoK "...to seek out new life and new life forms..." and now at the end of STXI. Shatner would never do that!!! I'm boycotting the movie. I refuse to see it again at the theater! Eight times is my limit! I've had enough!

What I wonder is why Nimoy said "Where no one has gone before" instead of "Where no man has gone before". I realize this film was meant to bring in a different audience, but they still should of kept the original punch line and not the 24th century version.
