It took me such a long time to watch nu-Trek

[Delta Vega]

As for Archer on the big screen, why not ?

Very few people wanted to watch Archer for free. What makes you think they'd spend money to see him?

I liked him

I would go see an Enterprise film on the big screen

However, I wouldnt pay bad money to watch JJ Trek in glorious Cinemascope.

Each to their own eh ?

Poor Archer wasn't even going to be in the Romulan War movie which was planned prior to JJ being given the reigns of Trek in '07. And the way he and the Enterprise are written out of the story is kinda insulting - Click!

I'm an older fan. The JJ take on Trek isn't my favourite, It sits in a separate universe for me.
However I don't hate it either, it's just that I ignore it if I want. When I watch the OS I never compare it to Nu Trek, it's far from my mind. It's an alternative timeline that I ignore when I want.

Which is fine. Actually, I'd go see an Enterprise film on the big screen, too (one of my favorite ENT episodes is Carbon Creek. Another is Similitude). You know, plenty of people swear Voyager is some of the best Trek there is, and while I disagree, that doesn't mean they can't love it, and if they love it, more power to them. I love the J.J. Abrams films. They feel like classic TOS made for a modern audience.

I don't think most people have a problem with that. I'm just not a fan of the whole "real Trek fan" business that inevitably comes down the pipeline, where someone who likes J.J. Abrams movies isn't a "real" fan. Some people have it in their heads that unless you can cite episodes by chapter and verse, you're not a real fan. Granted, you always find that in various fandoms, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

It all boils down to personal taste. I only get annoyed with negative comments if they're not true. There are some people who just make up reasons they don't like the movies, and they've never seen them, or they deny they've seen them, yet can name all kinds of things they don't like about them anyway. That gets annoying real fast.

Thank God we were never subjected to that piece of crap.

Finally, I have

I was gifted a box set DVD with Star Trek and Into Darkness on them. After deliberately avoiding the reboot for so long I finally gave in and watched the two films.
As a lifelong fan of TOS and characters like Kirk and Spock I had found it difficult to accept such radical reworkings of the franchise, talk of a new timeline was all the encouragement I needed not to watch the films when they came out, and in my opinion sadly I feel vindicated for not falling for the hype surrounding these reboots.
JJ Abrams for me, has destroyed Star Trek, the first film was painful to watch apart from Quinto who got good marks for his take on Spock.
The second film was much better, but the whole look of the film in Abrams Trek doesnt do it for me, its more Battlestar Galactica than Trek and I couldnt relate to it.
The actors and the characters were better portrayed in ID but my initial trepidation regarding nuTrek was valid.
I`m sorry to post in a negative way re these latest films, but I felt I had to give my opinions.
There are other nuances which need further discussion, like the English guy playing a Scotsman supposedly from Aberdeen but giving him a Glasgow accent, the incredibly young Checkov in his position of extreme importance both as a navigator and a Chief Engineer, the affair between Uhura and Spock etc, etc, etc.

Oh well.

Although I shouldn't buy into this, I will.

I'm wondering which part of France Picard got his accent from? Or is TNG from an AU future where England annexed France.

Wesley crusher was an exteremely young navigator/helmsman, even younger than Chekov.

Geordi out of nowhere became an 'expert' engineer from one episode to the next.

Wasn't there a 'love' affair between Troi and Riker and Beverley and Picard, T'Pol and Trip?

With all due respect, I was never a fan of TNG and I am even less interested in Picards accent, Crusher, La Forge or Troi.

There was never anything that nodded to a possible affair between Spock and Uhura in TOS so I feel its unnecessary in nuTrek.
T`Pol and Trip was cool for me.

The God Thing, is that you?
