The wife and I saw this Saturday. She had basically zero exposure to Trek pre JJ's first film, watched it and loved it. Of course she loved this one and I thought it was great too.

She asked what old diehards think of these new films and I half jokingly told her some Trek fans hate fun, and said that some people find the new films too flashy and shallow on some areas. But I don't think this film can be judged for being emotionally shallow, anyway. Yes it relies on a fast pace where old sci fi moved glacially at times but those film making days are over. I hope the 3rd film finds the Enterprise in deep space and we never see earth and this ending strongly suggested that so no worries there.

I liked the scene as I found it whimsical and sexy. Kirk is a dog and the audience loves him for it. That's one of the things that makes Kirk interesting. He's a bad rear end, but he's flawed, a fighting, drinking, rule-bending, rule-breaking woman banging captain of a space ship. It makes Spock that much more perfect as a friend and foil.

As far as Trek goes, it was short skirts in TOS which became body suits (seriously tight and revealing ones at that) for Troi and 7 of 9 and beyond. It's always had T&A.
