As a devoted sci-fi head, I always realized that there was an element to the genre that alienated the mainstream. Thankfully, the New Star trek reaches out a olive branch to modern audiences who don't understand the difference between a teleporter and a teleprompter. There were many things I enjoyed--primarily Spock’s ability to acknowledge his human, emotional side. My own daughter is mixed and I would hope she would embrace both sides of her heritage. Purist have all deplored such changes, even going so far as to critique the occasional lens flare. Gimme a break! Star Trek was never Shakespeare--it was a sci fi TV show and Abrams does the franchise justice by giving it a brand new spit shine!
