Major bastardization of television series, did not hold true to plot.

Rating: 1/10 (2 June 2012)

Was it Star Trek or the Star Wars trilogy, from what I hear far more like the latter. I have seen repeats of classic Trek and read many of of the novels based off the original television series, first class example of bastardization of a television series icon. Sadly our society has declined where people with poor taste idolize obvious garbage. Who cares how unrealistic (stupid) a plot is as long as you have great special effects. Robert April was the first captain of the Constitution class Enterprise. War with the Romulans took place about 10 yrs. after Zefram Cochrane's historic flight. We fought them in vessels referred to as darts. We and the Romulans did not have ship to ship audio or visual communications, no phasers, shields, transporters (*Star Trek episode Balance of Terror, which aired Dec. 15, 1966.). The bastardized remake made it appear the entire bridge crew attended Star Fleet Academy at the same time, which clearly is not possible Kirk is at least 10 years older than Sulu, and Uhura and 12 years older than Chekov. It is mentioned repeatedly in Classic Trek that the only 1 of the crew Kirk knew from his academy days was McCoy. Although they died in the episode Where No Man Has Gone Before, aired September 22, 1966 James Tiberius Kirk before being promoted to rank of captain had served with and was a friend with Lt. Cdr. Gary Mitchell and Lt. Lee Kelso.
