I'm ditching some spoiler tags on things that aren't actually spoilers.

The only time the Enterprise was on a planet that I can think of was the saucer section crash landing in
Generations. Voyager is a much different class of ship--my assumption is that Enterprise was never built for landing.

Not if you ask a physicist. I mean, yeah, you can do the Trek sciency handwaving thing, but... I get tetchy about any scifi that has anybody "fly through" a black hole. You're stretched infinitely thin along the axis that runs toward and away from the singularity quite a while before you actually hit the event horizon, for one thing. And I don't mean space-time bends with you in it: you're PHYSICALLY squeezed and stretched. Unsurvivably so.

I myself plan on bagging myself a hot human woman in the future.

Well, sure, something like that. I'm just wishing the movie had given us that, rather than us having to make something up. It's the only character-based loose end they left loose.
I didn't realize until the ending credits that Damon Lindelof produced on this show. JJ brought a bunch of LOSTies over, didn't he? I recognized the score as Michael Giacchino, who Abrams uses on everything. I wish there had been a little more nodding to the original soundtrack and sfx. The few times they did that were great.
