I was and still am a Trekkie, but you have to be a little Star Wars if you want a big mainstream audience, so I can take sacrificing a little science and logic if it means a healthy ongoing franchise. Just make good movies and I'll be there.

The funny thing is people like Clay act like there were never any plot holes or stupid shit in the original movies. Even in Star Trek II, which I still consider to be the best of the series, how could they communicate with/beam people from the core of a planetoid, but not from the Botany Bay cargo containers on the surface of Ceti Alpha V? Why didn't Kirk just target Reliant's bridge after disabling its computer, or beam Khan into space? How the **** could some bug crawling into your brain do anything but kill you? And did the one that crawled into Chekov's brain get expelled by his inability to kill Kirk? Why would Scotty bring his dying nephew to the bridge instead of sick bay, and more importanly, why would the CHIEF ENGINEER ABANDON HIS POST IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRISIS? Seriously, stupid shit galore. If I can forgive those things, I can forgive what Abrams does.
