Did the director or writers ever watch the original series???

Did the director or writers ever watch the original series??? I am not a Trekkie, but I have seen all the episodes and have a fairly good memory of what happened during the series. There is little evidence that they spent much time researching the material. They should have gone to a Trekkie Convention and hired some consultants. I know I could have written a better story/screenplay that actually dovetails into the original series using what was written in the original series. The next director and/or writer who use the overused "time travel" plot line to erase an already established and well defined franchise should be thrown out of an airlock into deep space.
