I could never really suspend my disbelief with the 1st series...

I'd like to see whole different takes on the genre. Too bad star trek is so iconic, it uses up a lot of the air.

Which of course had nothing to do with the network showing a series of shows written with developments carrying through multiple episodes out of order.

I was only disappointed when, 7 days later, there wasn't a new episode.

Anyone know what release frequency they're aiming at?

If you like this, you will love Star Trek Phase II http://www.startreknewvoyages.com/ The first chapters two aren't very good, but they make a steady progress improving it, and actually have a great quality in all senses.

Maybe it can wash out the awful taste in my after watching "Into Darkness".

I have to wonder about the IP issues. I didn't see anything on their site regarding what will stop CBS from going after them.

The video is disclaiming trademark infringement, which is not a crime.

Paramount has generally ignored (or blessed) fanfiction videos and literature with regards to Star Trek (but the same cannot be said for video games).

Afterwards, I thought about it as a story and it didn't make much sense.

I'm also still trying to figure out how Kirk is a captain of a star ship right out of the academy in a way that is plausible and doesn't require an actual antigravity machine to suspend my disbelief.

Red Letter Media's take on "Into Darkness". Yes, even as an action flick it sucks.

Maybe it falls apart if you look at it too closely or from a particular critical angle, but I would expect it to hold together than most broad-audience action pictures.

Hmm, maybe a little bit. At least not as bad as into darkness.

I had countless moments in that film where I was snapped out of moment of watching a movie and checking my phone to see what time it was. Closest I've ever come to walking out of a scifi movie. Near the end of the film, I was desperately hoping that Kahn would kill them all.

Some really great explosions, though. Jerry Bruckheimer would be proud to produce such a fiasco. I expected better of Abrams.

i can't follow this kind of fetishising of an outdated vision
