   No, Berman and Braga didn't care.  Abrams (and Orci and Kurtzman) cared,   
   understood, and deliberately took off in a new direction that worked   
   really, really well.   
      
   You can argue with me about whether the new direction worked, but you   
   can't argue that they knew their Trek and were very careful to make   
   clear that this is a new continuity, not a bizarre retcon based on never   
   having seen an episode.
