I was hoping they'd know a good (or at least, as you rightly say, average) thing when they see it. The problem with most cult followings, and Star Trek is no exception, is that the die-hard fans love the IDEA of their show/franchise/film more than that actual product. So, any deviation in any way from the source material will tarnish their impossible, non-existent ideal, and the blogosphere erupts in flames. Do the fans hate the new Star Trek?

And that, actually, is my problem with the series. It's not so much the 'bland diplomatic corps' as it is the ham-handed philosophy, ethics, and high-minded morality. It would be a much better franchise if all that were left out. But then there would be nothing left but the original series and some of the parts of TNG with the Borg.

Feliz aniversario, Sr. Ricardo D! Todo o melhor por o ano novo! Entretanto, os anos Setenta eram melhores do que os anos Oitenta. Eu gostei de seu programa. Eu espero que você aprecia este: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp6U_5qEE0Y Como é isto para minha “língua”?

I just watched the new movie and I still think it is average at best but still better than some others I have seen and yet fans hate it. I do not understand this logic. Would Spock?

But that wouldn't work, because Star Trek VI was actually a good movie. The problem with Star Trek V is that it's horribly written and Star Trek doesn't do religion very well.
