This past weekend, CBS released a new trailer for Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery, or as I like to call it, STD. Among other things, the trailer gave us our first look at actor Ethan Peck as Spock.

But this ain't your grandpa's Spock, laws no! That would be so 1966! This isn't even the oddly violent and emotional Zachary Quinto version from the Kelvin Timeline. Nope, this is a New And Improved, Sexy Spock. A sultry Vulcan for the new millennium.
Annnnnnnnd, I'm out.
Actually I was out long before this appeared. I gave STD a shot, and watched the first three episode. That was all I needed to realize that this series was not for me.
Spock may be my all-time favorite character from any medium, so it pains me... no, that's not right... it pisses me off to see him treated so shabbily. It's obvious modern writers and directors don't understand the character, since they keep getting him so hopelessly wrong.
Sigh...
Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy killed my love for Star Wars, and the BBC's turned Doctor Who into something I can no longer stomach. Now CBS just murdered my lifelong passion for Trek. Time to go lie down in traffic!
