cimoreneI have to say, back when the Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson parody-remake of Starsky & Hutch came out (which I love), I eyerolled and LOLed at the hints I saw, every now and then, of grumbling from the old fandom. I mean, it's not like it would even be possible to make it accurate, and it's not like it didn't deserve to be mocked - besides, it was clearly mocking with affection. Etc. Etc. Etc.
But that said, I am now seeing the irony when I look at things like this new Star Trek clip. I mean, it looks gorgeous. And it looks slashy. And adorable. But it also looks to be what I would consider completely and wildly out of character. ("They are very young," said Wax consolingly. "NO," I said flatly, "no, That Does Not Explain It!").
Of course, I've never even seen the original S&H, so I'm hardly likely to be pissed off about canonicity. And then there's also the teensy fact that I've hated everything JJ Abrams has ever done.
