Yeah, it boils down to a philosophy: keep Trek the way it was to appeal to old fans, or update it to appeal to the Star Wars crowd. Of course, I have to ask, is it safe to assume that *no* younger people can appreciate Trek? Are they saying that only action and big battles in scifi will get

It appears to me that if they wanted to make Star Trek more in the lines of Star Wars then perhaps they should have done a remake of Star Wars instead and just let Star Trek die a slow death. I mean I love Star Trek, I love all of the series. But the thing is that in order to draw in the new

Agreed! I think what they miss is that what makes Trek is, as you say, Trek. It's the people, the relationships, and the plots that make it good. It's how some of my fav eps have little straight out scifi action. It's why shows and movies that are really heavy on action and FX can actually
