Wow, it's been a long time since I went on a rant like my last blog. At least on here anyway. I used to visit the boards constantly but since my daughter is up during all the day hours and I'm going to school the times that she's aslep are usually spent playing video games or doing schoolwork. I used to also be a lot angrier than i am today. I've been able to bury some issues since my ex-wife left us that had been lingering for the last few years. My insomnia while still present isn't bothering me nearly as bad as when i first joined as well. So more rest + fewer emotional issues = happier me. I have a ways to go yet but the progress I've made so far has been nice.

Is anyone going to see the new Star Trek movie? I'm not. It's not the Star Trek that I grew up with. You see I actually watched re-runs of the classic Star Trek series when I was a kid and I was hooked. When Star Trek: The Next Generation came out I felt the same way I felt now but when I watched it I saw the same Star Trek that I had watched as a kid only newer and dealing with issues that were fresh and new to me. I was blown away. Later spin-ofss were good but they were slowly loosing that grittiness that was Star Trek. Enterpirse tried to be the edgey version of Star Trek but Star Trek was never edgey so it was naturally doomed to failure. For Rick Berman and Miceal Piller to move more in that direction than back in the direction that made Star Trek what it is I think is a major mistake. Star Trek crossed generations when it first came out, it did what it did despite of what the rest of T.V. was doing and didn't follow the trends of the media at the time. This Star Trek appears to be a slave to those trends and I find that extremely dissapointing.
