Star Trek rebounds from the morass of old-trek-drek with a fondness for new champions, friends rediscovered, and an urgent desire for more. They melded the mind of Roddenberry into what possibly the great master would have done with 600 animators from ILM, DDomain, and others. I SWEAR to you this restores the fun, deepens the conflict, frees them from Vulcan nannying, and puts to death the ridiculous ethic that allowed an entire planet to lose atmosphere, while they moralized endlessly about how the natives had to follow their own evolutionary fate. Picard’s slavish love for the State was an embarrassment. Pine as Kirk has naught but disdain for authority, with a clean slate. ST’09 will live long and be very prosperous.
