      Ferengi is a Sanskirt word (foreigner). Fact. Arabs are closer to Injuns than the Jews are.

          Doesn't matter. The Arab part makes sense for the sex hangups, but not for the economic-based culture.

                Same reason they called Battlestar Galactica Battlestar Galactica without having to esoterically stick to the canon.

                    Based on some reviews I've read, they definitely depart from ST cannon. I'm fine with that, so long as it's fun & I like the characters.

                    The awfulness of the SW prequels came down to putting (bad) plot and special effects over characterization (not to mention casting).

                      I'm not saying that they should just make everything up, I'm saying that if this is a redux, that they shouldn't be afraid to take some liberties. I just want to be entertained, I don't care if ship is wired exactly according to star fleet specs.

                          The problem is that the last 2 TNG movies have sucked. 10 was just plain awful. 9 was more of a "what was that one about again?" sort of boring bad.

                          Once they screwed up an even-numbered ST movie beyond all repair, it was time to let it go and start over.

                            Abrams has been pretty clear that he wouldn't be overly concerned with canon. His stuff usually has some plotting, half-decent dialog, and good production values. So I might actually see this one.

                              That's what happens when you have someone direct who's never watched a single Star Trek episode. X should have been good. And killing Data? They should have done the same thing that the original did, and have adventures with Picard in the Enterprise and Riker in the Titan. You could write some really good shows that way.

                              First contact showed the potential of the new crew was greater then that of TOS.

                                This is total nonsense. Cardassians = desert. They're the late Ottomans, particularly the branch holding on to Arabia. ****, they had ships called ****ing Janissary class.
