re: #266 Lidane

The reboot film was an origin story that had to work in the entire original bridge crew of the Enterprise, plus Pike, AND it had to tell a story on top of that. Way too much to do in two hours.

Hopefully now that the characters have been introduced the next film will be better. I liked the first one a lot (*ducks*) but it definitely had room for improvement.

I’ve managed to read a few issues of the continuation comics, which the writers have said is to bridge the gap between the movies. And the characters really do start to come into their own. It starts to look more like the dynamics we know, even if younger and a little less…seasoned.
