Star Trek is more than about Rodenberry's political drama and difficult ethereal challenges. It is especially about friendship, handling disagreements, and yet still caring about your friends even through disagreements. I think TOS and Abrams' version get that on the nose. These relationships, flaws and all, are what makes us who we are. It's also the heart vs. The head conversation where Spock is too much head and Bones is too much heart... And Kirk must find the middle to do the "right thing."
