The Onion on Star Trek

This “Onion News Network” parody report on fan reaction to the then-new “Star Trek” prequel movie came out in May but Timothy Sandefur’s post was the first I’d seen it.
“Yes it was exciting . . . but where was the heavyhanded message about tolerance, where was the stiff acting . . . I mean, it just didn’t seem like a Star Trek movie to me.”
