Why is Star Trek considered a miracle?

I find this copycat highly illogical.
:shrug:

Which is the best argument in favor of divine benevolence that I've heard in some time, now that I think of it.

So after 6, none of the movies were even-numbered. So by that logic, none of them should have been good. :P

I was not expecting much, but I was hoping -- what with all of the positive press and reviews from Trekkies that I know are hard-core fans, it's hard not to hope!

But really, my hopes were destroyed the second I saw the "engineering section" on the USS Kelvin. WTF? Concrete floors? The whole engineering section looked like a goddamn brewery! I really don't think this issue makes me one of the Star Trek canon fanatics. Come on! Concrete in space? Did they really run out of money and had to use a Budweiser distillery as a practical location in exchange for product placement?

Chekov is 17? It took Kirk three years to become an officer. Did Chekov enlist at age 14? Starfleet takes 'em young, I guess.

When Nero put that brain-bug thing into Pike to get him to reveal information... Where did that go? What happened to that entire plot line? What the hell?

Some of the dialogue was simply ridiculous... Spock's mind meld with Kirk to explain his story was simply awful. "He flew into the black hole. I flew into the black hole." Hell, we all flew into the black hole! Great.

Wasn't it convenient that Scotty and Spock were on the planet that Kirk was marooned on? Even Spock seemed surprised at that one!

Again, this is a total non-canon, non-fanatic point of view. I really, really felt let down by this film. It was so, so very sloppily written and executed...

This Star Trek reboot reminds me of the Lost in Space reboot from 1998.

which happened to be where Nero dumped old Spock to ensure he had a ringside seat on the destruction of Vulcan. Here's the real kicker - if old Spock knew what Nero was up to, why didn't he high tail it over to the Federation outpost to warn Scotty to warn the authorities?

Okay, so that part sort of makes sense now... Barely. But your second part, absolutely dead accurate. WTF?

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy...

to see if there are clues as to why that all makes sense.

them and that's how he ran into Kirk. They were both headed the same way. Unless I missed something entirely, and Spock was unaware of the station until Kirk told him.


Rats! I am going to be forced to see the movie again to resolve this question!

so I guess he got the information.

By the way, Khan used a similar brain-bug thing in Star Trek 2.

We watched Star Trek VI recently, and it had lots of odd things too - like why have unauthorized phasers just randomly on display in the ship's kitchen? Why even have a kitchen when you have replicators?
