Director JJ Abrams delivered and provided a good introduction to the franchise for younger fans - with great special effects. We now have a glimpse into the character development of Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Bones, and others but for some of us older folks there were a few disconnects from the TV show: Since when did Uhura and Spock get it on? Spock's mother (Jane Wyatt) was alive and well in many episodes and again in the movies. And, how did Captain Pike get to be so disabled in later TV episodes. So for me - unlike in the Star Wars prequels - there wasn't a clean fit. OK for all you dissenters - I'll take the literary license and go with it - but - after this show - I can't see another prequel coming and that greatly disappoints me.
