I ... haven't seen the film yet. And know too much about it now to be unconflicted when I do go see it, because, um, yeah, *Vulcan*.
I'm also feeling Really Old -- I watched TOS *first run* (ok, I was 6 - 9, but still) and re-discovered it in re-runs at 12. I could never truly get into TNG (though oh, I wanted to!) because whatever it had that made TOS so magical and compelling to me just wasn't there.
I am still going to go see it, at do my best to let it suck me in and tell me it's story on its own terms, but I'm not expecting it to be unalloyed squee.
