This is NOTHING like old school Trek...and I don't care!

Well, that's not where it is or where it's going to be again any time soon. "Approval" is irrelevant.


It's relevant to him and it's relevant to the franchise in that they've failed on another person. Is the relevancy negligible by most standards and corprate standards, absolutely but as far as he's concerned it's not and there is nothing wrong with expressing that opinion.
 
I just saw the film again a few days ago, while in the middle of a TOS rewatch, and I thought it was a pretty damn faithful and loving update of the original. People use the word "cerebral" a lot when comparing old and new Trek, but really, there was always a lot more fun Trek than cerebral Trek.


I'm used to cerebral but Trek's cerebral is often lame...it's not Issac Asimov, Orson Scott Card... snip!

Hold on a tick. Mentioning Asimov and Card in the same breath is utter lunacy. Card is about as cerebral as a brick. :rolleyes: Please turn in your nerd card at the door.

Monetarily speaking, one's disapproval IS irrelevant if it means that for one disapproval they get 10 approvals in the process, 10 approvals they didn't have before. Same thing if it's the other way around (which is what led to the failures of Nemesis and Enterprise). If anything, disapproval is irrelevant if it leads to much greater approval. That's a good return on an investment -- you didn't lose one approval, you gained nine approvals.
 
The old Star Trek has some pretty good feature and story lines to be interested in
my meet Star Trek. deep space nine, Voyager. They all had some pretty good features,,
pretty good game lines,,, then the people who were played behind the actors with the characters in play,,, it's amazing how all those are put into one feature.. there is nothing like it anywhere,,, and fans all over the world,, come to see it,,, getting dressed up in Starfleet conventions,,, the last one I heard was 5000 people without close or was that 500/// I still call it pretty amazing,,,,
 
My mom refused to watch TNG for ten years because she said there was nothing like TOS. In fact I used to sneak watching it on TV because she did not want us to watch TNG either. Now of course she loves all of Trek.
I personally keep her example in mind when I am tempted to be close minded.

Close minded is okay for people who like to be closed minded,, people who who are open-minded,,, I'm more acceptable to learn more,, and be more open for learning,,, people who are close minded,,, are less lately to learn more about the world end it's surrounding...
 
I'm not "closed minded". I saw the damn Abomination twice in the theater, bought the dvd and have cussed my way through it a dozen more times, trying to find some way to come to terms with its abominable abominableness.

I am discerning. I have standards. I have....fanatical obsessive tendencies that have resisted the best medications and behavioral therapies modern medicine has to offer.

But I'm not closed minded.
no sir.
I just don't like it.

it's okay to be open minded as well,,, if you don't like something that's okay too
opened and closed doesn't matter to me,, you like what you like and you like what you don't like,,,

and anyway I have a son who loves poke man,, and all of his characters,,,, so for several years,,, I had to put up with Poke man,,, it was an okay show,,, at least I was open-minded about it,,,,
 
For the person that said I love pokeman

I was searching on the net for a Star Trek pokeman theme I found one,, with the music of Star Trek,,, and the under title of the pokeman theme I found it very interesting...
at the time I was tired of talking about pokeman all the time,,, because my son loved it,,,
