Who's pulling the strings in Hollywood? I still don't know WTF is up with the plot, it was an alternate timeline? I was hella blazed (not really) and that didn't help much in that one scene in the middle where they fired off a ton of pseudo-sciency time-travel explanation of what was going on. So are we going to have to suffer a bunch of future Trek series and movies in this alternate timeline? Kirk's father didn't actually die in the "Canon" timeline, am I right? Now scotty has a real scottish accent.

What I really want to see next, and I'm sure I've mentioned this before, is a movie or series set in the Star Trek universe but that is not primarily about any members of Starfleet. Maybe Picard's brother.
I heard the reason for Spoiler: Shatner's absence was due to his being pissed that his part wasn't big enough. I read they had basically a cameo for him in a memorial hologram and he wanted a bigger part.
