Maybe I'm missing something??
There is a poll out there, which I will not link, that asks voters what they think what was the main problem of ST:XI. You have things like Kirk being promoted too early, lens flares, 'brewery used as engernerring', destruction of Vulcan and what have you. One of the choices among these was Spock/Uhura and guess which one is in the lead? My opinion and comment examples from the poll are posted in my journal. I welcome your opinions. Comments are screened by non friends at my journal (not here).
