I was a skeptic; I figured we were in for another "reimagining" like we got with Battlestar Galactica. However, I was completely won over by the cast, the writing, the action, and the humor. I was amazed how faithful they could be to the endearing characteristics of the original but still branch off in a new direction. ** MILD SPOILER ** Ummm, Kirk did not win ANY of the fist-fights he was in, I do hope they'll correct that in future installments.
