Same could be said for Vic Mignogna, John Broughton, Michael Bednar, Dennis Bailey, Farragut Films, the Starship Farragut, Star Trek Continues, and the rest of the purists who keep slamming on Abrams for foolish reasons.

Indeed it does. I concede my point, and sing the “Very Sorry” song, a traditional Klingon ritual of apology.

Sooo much negativity. I’m looking forward to what he comes up with. I enjoy all incarnations of Star Trek including Abrams’ so I can’t wait to see what he does with the Star Wars franchise.

Put Joss Whedon in charge of the Star Trek franchise. He’s a smart, talented showrunner that would give Trek a true shot in the arm of intelligence, wit, insight, and creativity that would revitalize Trek without turning it into a dumb, substance-free special effects spectacle.

It seems a tad more than that now.

I can’t think of anyone else I’d rather have direct the next Star Wars movies other than James Cameron, I hope this rumor is true.

I look at the two franchises quite differently. Star Wars is very epic; like David Lean epic. Sprawling, visual, one single story amid a universe of stories. Star Trek, to me, has always been… intimate. A single story next to another single story (and Action / adventure) that converge in a major conflict. After watching “Master & Commander” the other evening, yes, Trek is like Horatio Hornblower; very energetic, engaging. You have a good guy and a bad guy. Singular. Abrams brought that to his re-imagined Star Trek. The problem is; looking at his body of work, he does not tell epic stories well (look at Cloverfield). I don’t see a good fit with Star Wars.

I can’t wait to see him (J.J. Abrams) gone. Forever. Out of the world of Trek.

Bring in Manny Coto and Ira Behr. They love trek and both had a wellspring of ideas they never got to accomplish.
