Yeah, this is more or less how I felt, too. I enjoyed the new movie, but they really did take the "Trek" out of it, dumbed it down, and actioned it up. Where was the moral play/philosophy? That's what always set Trek apart.
I am going to post a Star Wars fanfic on my nascent tumblr just so I can do this.
Nah, I admittedly started late, but I consider myself a full-blown trekkie/trekker (don't get me started on that name debate though) now and loved the film.
I really, really recommend you give The Next Generation a go on Netflix... I know it's a bit scary seeing so many fucking episodes, but I can link to you an "essential season" which is how I've gotten several friends hooked... it's a list of must-watch episodes spanning the entire series that sort of feel like one season (barring the age differences as you skip ahead in years, heh) and by the end you've pretty much been exposed to every character's story, main plot elements and what not. After those 24 eps you can literally jump onto almost any episode in the 7 year run and never feel lost. That's pretty cool.
