Should I be yelling at the damn kids to get off my lawn?
Not precisely. The contention here isn't age, it's either that you think you have a greater right to dictate what Star Trek is than the people who own it have, or that you think Star Trek can only be one limited thing.
I think I'm entitled to have preferences while aware they don't constitute rights, no?
In a nutshell there are so many franchises and properties out there which are based on big action pieces. I liked (sometimes loved) Trek because it occasionally - not always - strayed from that formula and gave us ethical, educated, optimistic thinkers as its protagonists, and problems that were solved by deliberation and reason rather than out-phasering the enemy.
I'd still like to be catered to. Believe me, I'm quite aware why I won't be, at least in the movies (in fact that's the whole point of my post) but do I need to like it?
