Two caveats before I start:
1. I have not seen Star Trek and do not intend to any time soon; I have read a number of reviews, both positive and negative, and synopses that treat on the issue I am about to discuss.
2. I am putting this behind a cut partly because of length and partly because I'm sure some people are tired of debating the casting thing. I am also cutting because the casting thing is technically a spoile,r because the studio and Abrams went to great lengths to make the casting thing a spoiler. I am extremely unhappy about the fact that I feel obligated to spoiler cut this, because it should never have been a spoiler. For a more eloquent explanation of my feelings, check out this post. I shouldn't even have to say it, but SPOILER: IT'S ABOUT THE SPOILER.
So this is me boycotting Star Trek: Into Darkness -- explicitly because of the casting, with a side order of mixed reviews on the movie as a whole. I know people who found it really enjoyable, and it sounds like there are elements that I would like (IE, John Cho, forever), but.
( And now, a cut. TL;DR: Abrams, I am eyeroll, and Nolan, son, I am fucking disappoint. )
