A serviceable, if uninspired, by-the-numbers adaptation, with very little deviation (good or bad) from the movie. Those few more interesting departures that I saw have been commented on in my progress updates as I read.

I don't know how restrictive Paramount et. al. are when it comes to modern adaptations, but I really do wish they'd go back and use Vonda McIntyre's adaptations of Star Trek II, III, and IV as examples of how to do it well.
