Sadly you are correct.
Like everything else nowadays, a well known product name, no longer
denotes any expected quality, just more cheaply sweatshop-made
overpriced crap. But that's why after 40 years, I no longer claim to be a >>> "trekkie", as
the farther I distance myself from those newer movies, the better.
...I even managed to hang on through the public humiliation of the
voyager and enterprise years,....but there ARE limits.
and there you go, another difference!
As "Bikie" tends to refer to the "hard core", violent, people who ride
motorcycles, and "Biker" tends to refer to the clean cut person who
rides a motorcycle, I tend to think of myself as a "Treker", rather than
a "Trekkie"!
IMO, of course!

Strangely enough I once thought the same thing.
Then was told by many Trek people that the "trekker," was the total whacko's who actually decorated their homes to look like the bridge of the
enterprise.
So from then I told people I was a trekkie.
Now after the abrams movies,....I publicly deny any knowlege of anything Trek.
...But privately still treasure my TOS original issue DVD's, and the VHS
set.

Yeah, how Stupid, expecting to discuss issues about Star Trek in a news
group called alt.tv.star-trek.tos!! Everybody with half a brain must
realise that a news group called alt.tv.star-trek.tos is for the
discussion of Arab/Islamist matters!! *NOT*
wheresourblessing@israels.wars, at a rough guess, you are doing your
ideals no good whatsoever by trying to pedal them here!! You're just
annoying people, people who, in another place, might actually agree with
you! "might", but I'm not holding my breath!!

who's off to check-out what's happening at alt.religion.discussion
alt.religion.discussion is where they discuss Star Trek ... duh! ;-)

The Abrams' films are not "so-called "Star Trek" movies", they
are "Star Trek" movies. Maybe they don't fit into your blinkered
view of what is "Star Trek" and what isn't "Star Trek", but they
are "Star Trek", at least as far as the people who own the rights
to that term are concerned. Makes you, and others with similar
opinions, seem very childish! IMHO, of course.
Not only are the two J.J. Abrams films "Star Trek", I find
them to be pretty darn good Star Trek, personally
This is where everyone gets into the big arguements. Are they Trek?
Yea. Are they good? Yea. Spectacular? Yea. Entertaining? Yea.
But.. Because the actors we grew up with are not in there, because
now they are either "age-ed or dead". People don't like it. Because
they went with an alternative time line, but mixed in Spock from the
old time line people don't like it and say it's not "real trek". (Did
they say that when Kirk met Picard in the Nexus)?
So like everyone has a you-know-what, everyone has their own opinion
of the current gender of Star Trek movies.
My opinion, (IMHO), is that I wish that the next movie could get back
to the original timeline and prove this to be some sort of alternate universe. How to do this? There could be a number of ways, one could
be that this is part of the Mirror Universe and now they come back.
It could be the mirror universe before the mirror universe went "bad".
I'm sure that a slick writer could get it back, (how about JMS doing
a script, bet he could get it back).
Once they get it back they could continue the early years and we could
even see some of the characters that we liked from TOS, Sarek and
Amada for one who are dead in this time line, and some of those races
that were show in TOS and how we eithere dealt with them or made them
our friends.
As I said IMHO and I'm sure this will start a firestorm.
