32. Did Abrams really look at the lines and scenes of previous Trek flicks and shows?

Or where there ghostwriters, for as I linked to, Abrams himself said he never liked Trek, nor did he understand it.

And based on what's in that movie, it's all shallow reinterpretations set in an "alternate timeline" so he doesn't have to be encumbered with what Gene Roddenberry's reasons for making it "Star trek" and not "some generic piece of shizzle".

The new movie is garbage for that reason alone.

it's weird; many people didn't like the new ship design. I love it. Trouble is, I look for more than pretty images when it comes to media.
