9 months ago, I posted a YouTube video urging that the original ST:TOS cast
be replaced with new young actors. Maybe someone saw it. Maybe it was a
coincidence.

They aren't "replacing" anyone or doing some idiotic remake of TOS.
They are making a prequel to the original Star Trek series, which means
they obviously can't use Shatner and co. to play an 20 year olds.
Having said that, they'll also be making lots of moronic changes and
ignoring stuff we already know, so the movie is going to be useless,
ill-fitting rubbish within the frame work of "Star Trek" as we know it.

That would be about three months after Star Trek XI was first
officially announced, featuring a movie poster showing TOS-era
insignia and uniform colors...
Abrams's inspiration, you ain't. :-)

Not that you're pre-judging it at all.

Generally speaking, I agree most aren't all that great.

I disagree with this opinion.

Not if what went before was not entertaining. Much of modern Trek has
simply failed to engage even the long time fans.
>Not very good signs for a great "Star Trek" movie.
The next film will be good or it will not. You can believe either one
or the other. Until there is more evidence presented I would
personally say the signs are encouraging.
>Maybe they'll actually have some brains this time
I believe you are mistaken. I don't know anyone directly connected to
the film and television industry but I am going to imagine they are a
bright bunch of women and men.
