Part of the fun of the Star Trek franchise is to see the twists and reimaginings necessary to make another prequel of the original series. This episode felt even more satisfying than the last: mind-boggling special effects, great action sequences, strong and well realized characters.
By now, Chris Pine has become blended into my concept of the early Kirk and Zachary Quinto has merged with Spock. Zoe Saldana (Uhura), Karl Urban (Bones), and Jon Cho (Sulu) remind us of the predecessors/future beings. Simon Pegg doesn't so much as channel Scotty as create his own parallel being who offers much needed humor to his character. Benedict Cumberbatch makes a worthy villain.
