This is a storyline disaster.

Rating: 2/10 (4 October 2009)

When I first heard of a Reboot of Star Trek my first thought was this: "Good, Now they finally can make good for Roddenberry and true Star Trek fans by eliminating Time travel from the storyline". Then I heard Nimoy was in it and playing "Old Spock", and I thought: "Uh oh". Then the premieres came and people said that they handled time travel well, and mostly to get Nimoy in there. I still wasn't convinced so I held out for a while.
Well, now that I have seen it I feel insulted and violated. The story writers seems to have been standing at the edge of Roddenberry's grave and pissing on it while writing this. Roddenberry never intended time travel to be used other than for quirky thought experiments in one off episodes. Time travel was and is a cheap way to solve sci-Fi problems. Good Sci-Fi use solutions that you think would actually work sometime in the future. Star Trek held this true (except Transporters which is acceptable as it doesn't pollute story and saves time in the storytelling) until Voyager started to introduce this as "truth". Which led to temporal directives and other equally stupid mechanisms.
The Reboot should have been used to stop insulting thinking Star Trek Fans. It should have got rid of Time Travel altogether. This Franchise Reboot is an insult to intelligence and if a new reboot series spins off of this it will fail as miserably as Enterprise did. And it is for this reason. Get good scientifically respectful writers back. Forget time travel.
This was a disaster for the franchise.
