I'm doing no such thing. There's nothing "objective" about either of our views. I liked it; you didn't. I present what I consider to be its strengths; and you present what you consider to be its weaknesses ("plot holes" etc.)

@avclub-94d8526a5fae933806f65b8a0f49301a:disqus I said maybe. And I wouldn't have said anything if Lopsidedown had expressed any other sentiment, but he/she chose to talk about his/her bafflement.

@Sleeper99999:disqus I never used any of those superlatives. I just defended it (against several posters' blistering attacks and dismissals), because I liked it.

I like the way you think. (Not.)

It's only superficially like Raiders. In fact, it's pretty much the exact opposite.

@leave_the_silver_city:disqus Yes, exactly. Thank you.

@Sleeper99999:disqus Who cares what they say? They also said it definitely wasn't Khan.

@NephewOfAnarchy:disqus I just meant that the business about the hybrid continuity doesn't make sense. You basically made that up; it doesn't correspond to anything in the movie. He's still the same Bond as he was in the other two movies…obviously he hasn't been doing this since 1962 (when that car was new) and obvious…

@Sleeper99999:disqus You're playing word games and you're missing my point (perhaps deliberately). Nobody said anything about "banning."

That's like saying gunfights are "clichéd," or onscreen kisses, or chases. They happen over and over because they're so great! And the one in Into Darkness was spectacularly good.

@Sleeper99999:disqus I'm taking exception to your semantics, and to the absolutist distinction you're drawing by means of those semantics — "If you want Spock to not be Spock then STAR TREK is probably not for you."

1) "Ridiculous and corny goes with the territory." Already we're off on the wrong foot. What kind of nonsense is this? If you consider it "ridiculous," why would you watch it or pay attention to it? Trek's greatest moments — episodes like "The Naked Time" and "City on the Edge of Forever" and "Journey to Babel" and…

Well, Agent Cooper's worst enemy is named "Bob."

@NephewOfAnarchy:disqus That doesn't make any sense at all.

I'm trying to keep it all civil, but man, you really, really, really don't get it.

It won't be a reboot.

They've obviously gotten rid of all that "Eugenics Wars" stuff, since it's supposed to happen in the 1990s. Rather than pinning themselves to something else, they just left it vague.

Well, maybe you're missing something, or you're coming at it with an attitude problem. (That's happened to me more than once; there are several movies I've totally reversed myself on.) Go see it again!

You're forgetting my Heisenberg Compensators!
