I must say, I do like the title “Lord.”

This Is Not Your Father’s Star Trek
I saw an ad promoting the new Star Trek movie as “This is not your father’s Star Trek” — blech.
“This is not your father’s Star Trek” is a phrase that has more significance to the generation of kids that grew up watching Star Trek reruns than it does to the kids it is trying to attract.
The phrase they are alluding to is “This is not your father’s Oldsmobile” — a ill-conceived attempt to get people my age to buy Oldsmobiles (rather than our parents/grandparents). The end result of that brilliant bit of marketing… no more Oldsmobile.
