Ok, watched it again, and I keep smiling at the McCoy quote about 'space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence.' I love that. And I love that this looks like it will be exciting, at least by the looks of the trailer. That's what's important. All the whining about spoiled "canon' is just coming across to me as increasingly sad. Again, I'm and "old" fan, steeped in the inter-testamental period before there where any ST movies, and I'm still excited about this. The franchise was dead, and this looks to be a re-visit of the original mythic characters. There's a lot of age-ism ('this will only appeal to stupid kids' --a lot of us were 'stupid kids' when we made ST a phenom) and oddly placed snobbery flying around in criticism of the movie. If it sucks, I'll be the first to cry foul. But not because they omit Gary Mitchell or the number of years that Spock served with Pike, or the arm braids, red nacelles, or Nyota. It's our myth, and it's survived all the twisty turns from novel to comic book to screen to fan flick. I say, make it so (and here's to the TNG reboot!).
