It seems that the goal here is to continue the Kelvin timeline, though. Which I'm all for, as I think the cast is great. I just hope that what we get is more in the spirit of The Original Series/Beyond, and less like JJ's own contributions. The 2009 movie is a fun start, for what it is, but I really do not like Into Darkness at all. Of the thirteen Trek films, I think I'd actually call Into Darkness the worst - yes, even below The Final Frontier and the TNG films. Thankfully Beyond really washed that taste out of my mouth and left me optimistic about where these characters might go in the future.
