Oh please. I will never understand this urge, apparently inbred exclusively in fanboys (never in my life have I seen the fangirl nation involved in a franchise war).

I'm gonna watch and probably really enjoy the new Trek, but every time I hear someone call it "what the prequels should have been" I am just gonna continue laughing my arse off, cos J.J. Abrams expressly stated that he was trying to inject the Trek franchise with SW's energy and more universal appeal. Why? Because Star Wars has what other space operas are missing.
