I thought the new Star Trek Movie was excellent.
I have always been a sci-fi fan, and time-travel stories really tweaked my interest. If anyone ever wants to get into discussions about paradoxes with me, I'll make you cry. (How Many Deloreans are there in Back to the Future 1955? If you say anything else but 5 Deloreans, you are WRONG!).
Yes Star Trek has done lots of Time Travel stuff and many times they got it wrong, even according to their own bible (In Star Trek 4 for example, they Warped towards the sub to slingshot back in time - what they should have done is go faster than the speed of light WITHOUT going into warp to acomplish this, but hey - its still a fun movie).
Anyway, the latest Star Trek movie did a GREAT JOB of introducing the old characters with the new cast, AND, they managed to open up Star Trek to a universe of new ideas thanks to the new timeline. Maybe someday some movie or TV episode will address the whole Temporal police thing, or smush the 2 timelines together, or not... !
There is a GREAT episode of Star Trek: Enterprise which follows an alternate universe of the enterprise crew meeting the tholians who have stolen a Starship Enterprise from OUR universe. It's extremely interesting (and sexy too) and ends on a very surprising note - which is to say - no end. It just.. continues! Just like the new Trek movie, it was very well done and does a good job of presenting the alternate reality.
Ok, I have completely shown my GEEK to everyone. Feel free to pick on me and push me into the lockers.
(ps: Yes, Marty ran over a Pine Tree owned by a Mr. Peabody at the beginning of the movie, which changed the future name of the mall from TWIN PINES MALL to LONE PINE MALL. That is childsplay. What's cool is that not only are there 5 Deloreans in Back to the Future, but there are also 2 Marty McFly's at the BEGINNING of the first movie (not just at the end). Betcha none of you JOCKS and PORN PEOPLE knew that eh? eh? Geeks rule!)
