I will never forgive Abrams for what he did to Star Trek. I will adore him forever for giving me back *my* Star Wars.

I did love that he made Han's skills matter and that non-force people mattered.

I did like Ren hurting himself although he was lame as the berserk element that I like in the Sith.
