Do I need to watch all of Trek before watching the 2 new films?

If you see Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan or "Space Seed" before Into Darkness, you'll only end up being annoyed. I'd be very interested in hearing how Mr. Singh works the other way around...

Patently incorrect, as I was not annoyed by STItD at all, and I've seen Space Seed dozens of times over the last 45 years or so, and Wrath of Khan at least a half-dozen times.

I enjoyed the hell out of both Abrams films.

How dare you have ability to separate and respect different versions of the same entity! FREAK!

You're obviously history's greatest monster.

Clearly, this is a problem that must be stopped. People are enjoying films...
