Im a TOS Purist and... (Spoilers)

I thought it was wonderful. Visually pleasing, story pacing was nice. The only negative things were him being a captain within 3 years, the corvette, and the beastie boys. Other than that, this purist is happy! It is what it is, a product of what is popular now.

Well, him being a captain was a byproduct of saving the world and this new timeline. Nobody wants to see Kirk be on the Farragut for the first three movies.

that is true... while it might be "accurate" it would bore me to death

yeah the promotion was sorta quick and i wish they had worked in the stuff from the dossier that kirk wasnt just a simple cadet but was already an instructor too.
but for while some fans had theorised that kirk had skipped some steps along the command line.

i am probably wrong but some how i thought alan dean foster had something in one of his tas adaptations.

but they get so much right i can over look that.

I've been an inveterate Trekkie since the first airing of "Miri" in 1966 and this was an amazing relaunch. I haven't been this excited about a Trek film since after seeing FC and it's leaving me with a similar feeling that I had after watching TWOK. Some nitpicks but generally excited. This will be a multiple theatre watching experience. I'll probably be dragging people kicking and screaming.

Trekgasm it is.

I may be overstating it.
