Minor spoilers:
So perhaps I am alone on this, but has anybody else seen the new Star Trek movie? I will admit that it was a good movie, but it was terrible Star Trek. As I feared going into it, this movie created a sort of Scooby gang environment with every character being in the Academy at the same time, with one exception who I won't mention. It would be like the senior crew of a modern day Navy ship all being in school together and knowing each other before getting assigned to the same bridge.
Now add into everything an "alternate reality" and they are now able to free up all of the old familiar characters to pursue new adventures with no regard to the existing storyline. Yes folks, J. J. Abrams just hit the reset button.
I suppose the thing that bothers me most is that they could have used this same story WITHOUT involving the original characters. It would have been better if they had created a new cast of characters instead of butchering the classic ones. Instead, Mr. Abrams opted to create "The Tiny Toons Trek Adventure Movie" because the original series cast needed reinventing, for some reason.
