Wrath of Con (Job) Dept.

My good buddy McD dissents from my dissention. There's a lot here to chew on — a lot of it does, I think, come down to "what does Star Trek mean for all involved" (i.e,. personal interpretation), although my feeling is still very strongly on the side of the new movie not being remotely what it could have been. I still feel that a big part of what fell flat for me was how they could have used this reinvention of the franchise to help shake off all of the things that were dragging the franchise down, and they chose not to. (Again, I'm going to wait for the DVD before rolling up my sleeves on this one again — I think without having the flick in front of me, I'm outgunned here.)
