What ever you thought of the movie, ( no, I didn't care for it all that much ), Kirk did have a valid point. We NEED our pain. It defines us, makes us who we are.

Pain does not define me except as someone who got over it. I am defined by what I do & believe.

How 'bout this one? LOL
Or there's a loverly version of "If I Had Hammer" by Nimoy.
Then there's this . . . surely you've heard this before
Mal: You think she'll hold together?
Zoë: She's torn up plenty, but she'll fly true.
Mal: Could be bumpy.
Zoë: Always is

Any more links to unstable Trek-related songs will surely result in a force-chamber explosion releasing dangerous amounts of anti-matter onto this board....

Least, that's the attitude I'm taking w/ me into the movie. We'll see how good a job they did.
It'll be interesting to see how it pans out, since this isn't a strict "prequel" as we have come to know it. yet, it's not a full on reboot ala the Batman and Bond flicks of late.
I am excited for it, though. Looks pretty cool, and I'm jazzed by the reactions I've read so far.

How isn't this a 'strict' prequel ? It's the life and times of James T. Kirk, before he was captain, yes ?

Yes, but in an altered timeline. Here, he joins Starfleet later than in the current backstory, and becomes Captain earlier. He is not raised by his father, who now dies in the opening scene of this one, as Kirk is born. The changes to the design of the ship and such are not just aesthetic - Starfleet is more technologically advanced because of Nero (Bana) tampering with the timeline.
I know more of what's going to happen that will make it VERY clear that this is not a true prequel, and follows a different timeline, but I'll hold back on the spoilers for now.
This is why I'm saying it's more akin to reboots like Casino Royale - that was the early days of Bond - but not the SAME Bond. This will be early Kirk and crew, but a new version. Yet, since there is Old Spock coming into the plot from the Next Gen timeline, it's still not quite a full re-boot. It's a first of it's kind, an in-continuity reboot of a franchise.

Just saw the new Enterprise toy at Target (it was opened, so I got me a real good look), and I have to say it looks a lot better than the box cover, or publicity pix of the ship, for that matter.
Yeah, it'll be good.
