I really miss DS9
I feel the same way about Next Generation. I never really got into the old series, but I was way into TNG.

"Now, with the release of the simply-titled Star Trek, a big-budget prequel featuring early incarnations of the original cast, TV superproducer J.J. Abrams, the brain behind mystery-box serials Lost and Alias, has given the aging franchise a major overhaul. This is more than a fresh coat of paint. It's a wholesale reinvention: new actors, new creative team, new scale, new sensibility, even a whole new timeline. There are similarities to the original—all the major characters are still around, personalities mostly intact, and the mid-century modern design ethos still reigns. But under Abrams's control, Star Trek has reversed course on all of its previous failings: the effects are as slick as the best summer blockbusters, the story moves at maximum warp, the humor is broad and rapid-fire, the action set pieces are often breathtaking, and the actors are young and attractive. Abrams has rebuilt the Enterprise and its crew from the ground up, this time as an energetic pop collage."

Tonight's the night for me. I can't wait. I also was a big DS9 fan, the episode where Klingons invaded the station was probably the best Trek episode I've ever seen.
I don't know if I'll be able to hear the dialogue over how awesome Captain Kirk is.

Yes, it has an alternate timeline or alternate reality, whatever you want to call it, so there is lots of room for growth and development. It was just a lot of fun. I look forward to many more.
Beks, you really should make yourself suffer through looking at Hugh Jackman. It's a sacrifice, I know, but well worth it!

Awesome friggin movie!!!
I thought I would have to suspend belief on everything I knew about ST, but I was wrong. They did a hell-uv-a job resetting the series.
Character developement was superb and they really Pumped up the testosterone levels (must be the same stuff manny using.)

I always preferred Babylon 5 to Star Trek or Star Wars.
