I'm barely in the Star Trek fandom as well, but I'm enough of a fan to be pissed about this and say so. So, you're welcome :)

I wrote two (http://eumelia.livejournal.com/248143.html) posts (http://eumelia.livejournal.com/248846.html) regarding the Outing... not impressed and now, even two years later, I'm way more bitter about it because the franchise is still going strong in film and it's pretty irritating.
