I don’t mean this in a combative way (haven’t even seen much of Star Trek!) but I’m really interested in what you mean by this line:

the scripts were mostly OK too -- at least this was true of 2009.

It stuck out to me because I can’t quite grasp if you mean films in general were of lower quality in 2009, scripts were less advanced or dense, or if it is a specific reference to how Star Trek scripts were more acceptable since?

Again, not meant in an argumentative way necessarily (although perhaps a little if it’s the second assumption, as I would probably disagree 🙂) - rather I am confused by seeing it expressed like this.

Meaning "Star Trek (2009)", which was the first of the Kelvin Timeline. That is the one film of that timeline which tends to get the most love, and I think it also had the best script of any in the timeline.

Gotcha, that makes sense!
