I'm just curious because I only watched Star Trek as a kid with my parents and don't consider myself in that group. Is there a consensus from the hard-core trekkers on this movie?

(Just kidding, Lance -- Bob will recognize the irony in my suggestions of over-analysis. My wife is still prepared to kill Bob & me anytime because of the way we began picking apart "Schindler's List" as we walked out of the theater.)<br><br>For me, it's fascinating having seen the new "Star Trek" the night after watching the season finale of "Lost" on the TiVo. Obviously, it can't be that much of a surprise considering Abrams and (especially) Damon Lindelof's involvement in both, but the two plots are more than vaguely similar. Both center on the creation and manipulation of alternate realities, both involve reality-changing explosions -- and aren't Jack and Locke doppelgangers for Kirk and Spock? I'm sure this is all being discussed ad nauseum on geek websites worldwide, but I haven't read them yet. I think I'll do that now, and boldly go where many dorks have gone before.
