TNG, and the Coke Classic/New Coke analogy. Actually I think it fits this situation much better, because the movie is a new "flavor" of the same "beverage," that is a new version/alternate universe of the Original Series. Whether the movie will turn out to be as badly accepted as New Coke remains to be seen, of course. I'm not saying Nay.

Why is everyone assuming he fails?<BR/><BR/>I think people are over-analyzing the few facts available to us at this time.
