Oh the irony that this quote is in response to the negative criticism of the Kelvin movies.

Even if those movies had not been fun, even if they had not birthed a new generation of Star Trek fans that went on to discover the classics and literally revived the Star Trek franchise, even if they had not been genuinely interesting stories unto themselves... they allowed Leonard Nimoy to reprise his role as Spock one last time, they allowed Majel Barrett to reprise her role as the voice of the ship's computer one last time.

So, for those reasons, I am glad we got them how we did and when we did. Star Trek might still be shelved otherwise.

Yes however, though I enjoyed the movies, and though I am not a stickler for canon, I do dislike how they don't really contain the hopeful futurism that Trek was created to portray.
