It’s so funny that I was ultimately turned off Trek bc of the first JJ Abrams movie

Like I watched that shit not knowing what Star Trek was, and the script was meh, and the acting was nnnnneehhhh, and the set designs were so blahhh

And then, browsing Netflix YEARS later, the episodes of TOS are all there, and of course when you hover, it autoplays a scene, and I just… found it so gripping? I had to watch it from one tiny scene alone bc the ACTING.

But if you’d shown me a trailer for Star Trek 2009 before I watched it, I would have opted not to watch it >_>

TOS just tickles all the right spots for me, and idk how you dare to envision a remake if you’re going to strip it of everything it’s famous for. Oh wait, money. No, I get it, I was just kidding lol

I also didn’t like Kirk from the get go bc of Pine. Idk, I just… didn’t like the character and I understood why other people didn’t either

Then I watched TOS

I went in fully expecting to cringe and hate this guy - only he was JUST LIKE ME. Heart too big, and tits and ass that just happen to be even bigger??? Jim is so hopeful and romantic and funny and silly and jfc

I wonder how many other people blindly hate Jim Kirk bc the modern movies are their only knowledge of the character >_>

Also, idk why they keep making newer (worse) Trek shit to do with TOS. Give us deleted scenes we haven’t seen. Give us bloopers. Give us anecdotes and stories we haven’t heard yet. Show us scripts that never made it to air. Stop churning out shiny new crap for heavens sake :/
