"Generations" as a piece of high-minded crap, just the TV series from which it originated.
The thinking was that the internet was going to unify mankind, so "The Next Generation" was made with that idea in mind.
Only we've seen tensions heightened by social interconnectivity, not lessened. China is building an illegal island in waters is claims, which may require us to square off with them militarily. The 419 Advance Fee fraud scam letters from Nigeria still haven't gone away. A lot of former Eastern bloc European countries still pirate Western media; posting it on YouTube or wherever else you can get it. And we have ISIS and splinter terror groups attacking in France, Germany, the US and elsewhere. And now Russia's been bombing our Kurds as they fight ISIS, and has to square off with Turkey, which just went through an aborted coup! Did I mention Russia taking the Crimea peninsula from the Ukraine?
So, the "we're all one world" people have their collective heads up their rectums, and try to close the chapter on Kirk-era Star Trek, because New Star Trek is going to show the tech and science people how to be tolerant of lands abroad.
Only New Star Trek stinks, and blows chunks in predicting the volatile nature of the alpha male. So even though they try to close the door on "violent" Star Trek, the world dictates that it's still not a safe place, and is getting MORE DANGEROUS, not less.
So what does Trek do? They hire JJ Abrams to make action packed NEW Star Trek films to sort of resuscitate old classic Kirk and Spock era Star Trek.
I mean this goddamn morons, like a lot of producers in Hollywood who take their goddamn cues from social-psychologists, have really f'ed up this grand old lady of a TV series so many times, that it's truly a wonder that anyone remains a fan of the pure garbage they've continued to excrete for the last thirty goddamn years.
Fortunately, like Shakespeare, we've got the whole TV series on VHS, DVD, bluray and stored on various hard drives throughout the US and the world.
Now the only problem is keep these bastards from making Over-The-Top caricature trash of our beloved heroes, ship and setting therein.
So, no, is my answer.
