I don't think most people fully realize how badly Abrams destroyed ST in just two movies with the tech he introduced. Between the red matter and the pocket transwarp transporter alone the Federation, as it exists, is moot. They no longer need ships to travel ANYWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE (not just the known galaxy) and they can destroy anything at any distance in the universe from the comfort of an armchair by beaming red matter there with their pocket transwarp transporters.
I think Abrams always intended to use ST as a platform to audition for Star Wars. In doing so, he walked into this glass menagerie swinging a bat and destroying everything as he passed through.
These two movies precluded any further possible story telling involving ships and alien conflict.
Wtf is left in that universe? How about arming the Klingons and the Romulans with transwap? That war would be over in about 10 seconds.
ALL OF THIS. But the red bolded is the real deal. It was his bait to Disney. He even put R2D2 in the damned thing (yes, he really did)!
The other shit he changed has left the Trek universe in ruins and reformed it as an action fantasy romantic comedy. He left nothing untouched. Starfleet of Abrams vision look like NAZI officers to me. This is new the Starfleet uniform, and it now includes a freakin CAP?
And he ruined the Klingons too
The Enterprise looks like shit, there is just nothing of our Trek left. The iconic colors which have carried through from TOS to the last real Trek (Enterprise), the classic and specific blue, gold and red uniforms have been Trek. Now, it is Imperial Forces Gray? With a cap too? The cap has never EVER been part of Starfleet uniforms.
Since Earth is now more powerful than anyone in the known galaxy (even the Borg), only the Q present any sort of challenge. But perhaps there are no Q in the new timeline? Earth can now concentrate on creating monarchies and wearing more elaborate clothes and then we can steal scenes from Dune too.
. I guess my decision is made.
Our Trek no longer has an audience. Most of today's Trek audience could not even spell Dilithium, let alone sit still long enough to listen to a cool and clever explanation of how warp theory is supposed to work. They just want stuff to look cool and shiny and have lights on it an' stuff. Bring on the wizards and space ghosts.
