Okay, This Has Just Got To Stop

One of the fears I had about JJ Abrams taking over Star Trek was that it would just become a slaughterhouse, like Lost, Season Two.  And guess what?

That's Vulcan on the top, and Romulus below.  Blown to shit.

If this were Star Trek as we've come to understand it I'd expect the next film to be about undoing this.  But more likely we'll get some Hugo-like character saying, "They're all pretty much dead."

The new Star Trek film, though fun and exciting and all Industrial Light and Magic, does not respect Gene Roddenberry's vision, is not optimistic, is not a break from the Bush years as all the papers seem to believe, and is not that different from those crappy Star Wars prequels.  There's mayhem.  Some of the characters survive.  There's no moral.  It has nothing to say about what it means to be human.  Or Vulcan for that matter.

It's Lost, with references to Star Trek: Nemesis and Enterprise, Season Three.
