(Spoilers inbound Captain!!) I can say I am not a rabid fan   but this franchise has changed my life over and over again. I love the original show and I have always been drawn in by the great original storys and story arc's. The franchise took a hard hit with the last movie and alot of us had little intrest in Enterprise (the series). 2009 The film that will restart the fan base is released. It put me in a state of trance with the filling in the blank's of each of the charicters roots. Then they put Pike (1st episodes original series)  front and center. I am the guy who who kept asking where he would show up in Enterprise till I gave up and stopped watching. They did a great job of creating  a new timeline but they did it with the destruction of Spocks homeworld. This one is a keeper do not miss it!!
