so... what pissed me off the most about the JJAbrams Star Trek movies:
seeing the trailer for the 2nd movie with Benedict Cumberbatch and Alice Eve, realizing that JJ had found the perfect re-casting for Gary Mitchell + Elizabeth Dehner and that this was obviously going to be a re-imagining of "Where No Man Has Gone Before."
Note that, generally, a pilot is made before the showrunners have fully figured out the worldbuilding/etc. There'll always be mistakes + stuff that no longer makes sense in the series context that eventually develops.
This was especially true of WNMHGB.
For a reboot/reimagining, that's what you need to re-do. Good episode, but so much to fix: Middle initial on the tombstone is the least of it.
