After seeing the new Star Trek Movie, I now understand why Star Trek Nemesis was a flop when It was in theaters back in 2002.
In 1966, nobody had a device that could find anything for you, tell you where the resteraunt was, and give you driving directions, and still have room for talking to people in far away places while being able to fit in your shirt pocket. Even in 2002, phones existed, and could do things that Cmdr. Data's tricorder couldn't. We trekkies need to understand that although that movie had a genuine bad plot, it's a much needed modernization of Star Trek. Something that would have compleatly pleased us would have been such a flop that Star Trek would not have been able to Survive. You can compare it to Get Smart and it's modernization.
Star Trek has had 3 eras now.
The 60's Era: Consisting of just the origional series.
The 2nd Era: Consisting of Everything from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979) to "Star Trek Enterprise" (2000-2004)
The 3rd Era: Which, I believe started yeaterday with "Star Trek" (2009)
Star Trek will now continue as a modernized and adapted franciise for the 21st Century.
Now, if we only knew which century the next movie would be in. 23? 24? Or maybe something compleatly new?
