Agreed. Granted, J. J. Abrams is a very talented writer, but going backwards to the Kirk/Spock era is a big mistake. It's really not necessary to see how they met, we as the audience can imagine quite a bit, we don't need any kind of spoonfeeding.

Modern CGI with original series effects is just going to create another anachronism.
