This commentary will not have any spoilers....

I saw Star Trek today. It was a good film - not a great one. I've been watching Trek since 1966 all through the different generations. I spent about 4 years of my life involved with Starfleet - the International Fan Club. I went to the Camp Dover Peace Conference. Yes, I like Star Trek but do not love Star Trek.

And which do I like best? Probably the Original Series. Each of the different Star Trek programs and movies had lasting attributes.

Some commentary:

1. It is fandom! It should not be anyone's life.
2. The prime directive reminds me of apartheid way too much. Take a really good look at it and Starfleet comes into an area with all kinds of technology but not allowing the native population to even consider adapting an of it.
3. It did explore common social concerns of the day.
4. And, it was a lot of fun.

Ohhh, and one spoiler... just a minor one.... Majel was the voice of the computer. That was so good to see... hear... ok, whatever!
