Haha I never thought about it being an STD. I'm glad they shed the old and moved on with the new just like how I like how episodes 1, 2, and 3 of star wars pushed computer generated special effects and then epsiode 7 tied both special effects and all the awesomeness of 4, 5, and 6.
I haven't watched any of the episodes yet, but feel optimistic about the new star trek after reading this.
Well, I hope you weren't spoiled - though I did post two very large spoiler alerts!
Not at all. I usually don't mind spoilers. I've read most of the game of throne books and still really enjoyed the tv show for what it is. I find for the most part I enjoy the journey of the show/movie even if I know what was going to happen.
O yeah, also read what happened in Star Wars ep 7 and still really enjoyed the movie even though I knew who was going to die.
