Star Trek ’09, or Imbalance of Error (feat. Seqarts)

It's finally time for us to delve into a massive franchise we have yet to cover on the pod: Star Trek. Before J.J. Abrams was handed the keys to Star Wars to run into a brick wall and the hack fraud writing duo Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci gave us whatever the fuck the Tom Cruise Mummy movie was, they rebooted Trek with a glossy blockbuster prequel everyone loved and had absolutely no issues with. Does it really hold up after all these year? Three out of four podcasters say no, it doesn't. (Guess which one of us said it's alright. Hint: it wasn't Nicole.) We're joined by Trekkie/friend of the show/food wizard/beloved Discord moderator Seqarts to discuss all things Star and Trek.
