Kathryn asked me to review the movie. I did. I believe that a reasonable person would assume thereโ€™s at least a temporary hole in the Tholian web sustaining the Star Trek ban. Hereโ€™s my favorite email of the day:

Jonah-
Itโ€™s people like you describe that bring me great joy in saying things like โ€œI hope Luke sets his phaser to kill in this one!โ€ and โ€œCaptain Kirk sure can use that Force!โ€ while standing in line for Star Trek/Star Wars movies. Movie ticket- 8 bucks, popcorn and drink- $12.50, morally superior, condescending correction from 40 year-old dude who lives in his motherโ€™s basement- priceless!
May the Force allow you to live long and prosper ;)-
