This is where everyone gets into the big arguements.  Are they Trek? Yea.
Are they good?  Yea.  Spectacular? Yea.  Entertaining?  Yea.

But..  Because the actors we grew up with are not in there, because now they
are either "age-ed or dead".  People don't like it.  Because they went with
an alternative time line, but mixed in Spock from the old time line people
don't like it and say it's not "real trek".  (Did they say that when Kirk
met Picard in the Nexus)?

So like everyone has a you-know-what, everyone has their own opinion of
the current gender of Star Trek movies.

My opinion, (IMHO), is that I wish that the next movie could get back to
the original timeline and prove this to be some sort of alternate universe.
How to do this?  There could be a number of ways, one could be that this is
part of the Mirror Universe and now they come back.  It could be the mirror
universe before the mirror universe went "bad".  I'm sure that a
slick writer
could get it back, (how about JMS doing a script, bet he could get it back).

Once they get it back they could continue the early years and we could even
see some of the characters that we liked from TOS, Sarek and Amada for one
who are dead in this time line, and some of those races that were show in
TOS and how we eithere dealt with them or made them our friends.

As I said IMHO and I'm sure this will start a firestorm.
