A barbed stinger to the heart

This is truly, truly sad news. As Matt Zoller Seitz sez, revamping Star Trek is removing the essence of its appeal:

That essence includes the texture of the work itself -- the color scheme, the costume design and wardrobe material, the haircuts, the actors' tics, the optical effects.

All this world does is make me want to hate. It insists on dimming all its stars, most of all its Star Treks.
