I'm not. I think it could go either way. Purists aways complain when changes are made to iconic literature or in this case series. The thought has crossed my mind as well. SO, no sticks. however, I still have a problems with the decision about the ages of the character. That being said, that is what almost all block buster wanna bes do these days. So, they are just abiding by conventional wisdom. I think the key to enjoying it is not thinking about it as Star Trek. Whenever, I decide to watch an adaptation or a remake, I try not to think of it as such and I tend to enjoy it more. Also , I have been biased against Abrams since Mission Impossible 3. He really disappointed me
