If he were alive and had experienced all of Trek with me, my grandfather would no doubt say with a shrug as we left the theater post viewing Star Trek XI...
"Not everything ages gracefully, that's for sure!"
As a lifelong TOS fan, who started watching the show during its original run on NBC, I think the new movie is the best thing to happen to STAR TREK in years. And does a better job of capturing the verve and spirit of the original series than some of the later sequels and spin-offs.
TOS isn't over. It's back in a big way.
What is a TOSer exactly?

It's gratifying to see the name's catching on.
No. He is essentially right, although I might say he's still being too generous.And you're welcome to have that opinion.What I saw was not evolution, it was regression.
But don't think you're speaking for anyone other than yourself.
Most of those that hated JJ movie gave up before they saw it.
Sorry, but we already knew way back during TOS' initial run that Vulcan's had emotions that they learned to control. ENT and Abrams Drek added zilch to this other than plaster stuff in that was crap.I like how Abrams added some touches to classic ideas that old fans and new fans alike have often speculated on. Building on the foundation of "Enterprise", we see that Vulcans do indeed have emotions, they just supress them and their reactions to them very very well.
And I have never, ever before heard Spock say "Live long and prosper" and understood that he actually saying, "Go F yourselves".
It was a true highlight of the film for me.
And it was even sadder when the fears came true.Most of those that hated JJ movie gave up before they saw it.
