Trek

J. J. Abrams has decided that Star Trek is neither science fiction nor social commentary, but pulp sci-fi adventure and witty character interaction. It doesn't make a lick of sense, but every second of it is cracking good fun.

Plus it's awash in little gifts to true Trek fans: there's red alerts and distress calls and living long and prospering and the Vasquez rocks and the Vulcan nerve pinch and Scotty giving her all she's got and much more that I wouldn't dream of spoiling for anyone.

    Granted, that's really what Trek mostly was anyway...a sort of Wild Wild West in space. And I'm pretty glad there won't be social commentary waiting for me. Trek-style social commentary got threadbare a long time ago. In fact, looking back on many TNG episodes, it almost looks like propaganda television.
