Fringewatch: Alien Dreaming Edition

Secret Star Trek: Dawson's Trek
Well, I almost hate to say it, but this Onion video pretty much nails my reaction to the new Star Trek.
I thought it was great fun - a highly entertaining and extremely well-produced thrill ride. Visually, this may be the best space opera to date. All the creatives involved seem to be die-hard fans trying to bring the concept back to basics and make it appealing for today's audiences.
But therein lies the rub, as some obscure Trek villain might say.
