it stays pretty faithful to the characters (they don’t go off and do something completely outlandish)
there is a little bit of intelligence (I know the movies focus less on the cerebral trek stuff anyways, so that’s fine… as long as future trek stuff isn’t just action)
they don’t destroy the already established canon. This is the big one. If they make it clear that all (or at least most) of the TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY stuff (Enterprise wouldn’t matter as it all happened before this era) stays intact, that is, the time travel in this movie doesn’t too crazily mess up the timeline, its fine. Some changes would be fine. Obviously, since Kirk’s dad ill die earlier than he should have, there are some changes, but overall, nothing should change in any major way. I’m iffy if they decide to make a new timeline because it sort of flies in the face of the previous one as well as risks erasing that timeline (see a season 6 DS9 episode called Time’s Orphan)
OK, nerdy post, but yeah, keeping my fingers crossed!
