(red matter? WTF?)
Yea cus dilithium crystals are right on the money and ignoring that the correct application of teleport solves pretty much most of plots was soo rock solid.
You fans are all the same. You point out what is wrong with the new while it was twice as bad in the original. And please don't start with "it was intellectual". it was only if your a Texan neo nazi. " Oh.. killing people different to me bad?"
It is star trek, the softest crappiest (technospeak anyone) form of sci fi invented by man. Futurama is more intelligent, more realistic and just better sci fi. You can't do crap with star trek because it was already crap in the first place. At least JJ work is interesting enough not to walk out before the end of the movie. If your sci fi is that crap *at* least have some action.
Many years ago when I was in university and hung out with astronomy nerds
What? My masters was in Astrophysics. It was widely speculated that planets are common. But size distribution/distance from parent and all that was a bit of an unknown. We don't believe we (the solar system) is special.
Unfortunately since objective media doesn't exist anymore...
Don't kid yourself. It never did. Just read some of the BS reports during WWII, and then check what we now believe to be true.
