Also sidestepping the major problem with any prequel, that being, "we've already SEEN what happens next," so there's no dramatic tension.

The fans would NEVER have tolerated the relationship between Spock and Uhura, for example, in a straight timeline.

One of my friends had a shitfit the moment that happened and had to be carefully coached into watching the rest of the movie.


The thing that annoyed me the most about the new movie was WHO THE FUCK GOES FROM ENSIGN TO CAPTAIN IN ONE GODDAMN FIELD PROMOTION OR WHATEVER THE FUCK

He wasn't even a fucking ensign, he was a cadet, an ensign would have at least had more than one day on the job.

I always thought Uhura and Spock would be a good match, and, in an alternate timeline, thought it was awesome. 

The promotion thing?  Yeah, well...  There wasn't anybody else on the ship to promote, they were ALL cadets.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

Not all of them. There were still several ensigns and Spock was LT or LT-Commander or something like that.

The low point of the movie still sticks out like a sore thumb for me: Kirks Allergic reaction that swells up his hands. It was at that point I wrote off the movie and started mentally undressing the actors to pass the time.

TOS wins forever. Why? Because it had Sulu. And Sulu was played by George Takei. And George Takei pulled off this glorious troll: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr7v_UCsdzc

TOS is automatically awesome by association.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

Let's face it, Star Trek (all of it) is the best TV/Movie franchise there's ever likely to be. From ToS, to Voyager, it's all good. Except maybe . . . . nah, it's all good, even the bits that are really bad.

While I agree Star Trek is awesome, I'd put Doctor Who up against it any day.

Doctor who, for the most part, is unfortunately rubbish, so many different writers means that a lot of it is mediocre, however because there are so many writers, there is occasionally an excellent episode.

This only applies to everything pre season 5 (last years) doctor who. They finally found a good writer in Stephen Moffat and given him his own run, which has been consistently good, and probably will be until he leaves.

We could argue technical "good" and "bad" all day...  I just know which I enjoy more.  I can watch an episode or two of Star Trek any day, sure... but I've never had the urge to sit down and to a Star Trek marathon.  Doctor Who, on the other hand, oh, yeah.  Even a lot of the rubbish is fun to watch.

If it hadn't been for Steven Moffat, most of Doctor Who would've watched like Torchwood Season One, with a bigger budget.
