Default Re: Star Trek XI

I'm in favor of rebooting star trek, reinventing and re-imagining it because, as you said they've stayed the course far too long. My complaint on JJ abrams is his bait and switch tactic.

I also have a problem with using time travel ans a key plot device. It falls into the category of flashbacks. I enjoyed BSG:Razor greatly, but I was disgusted that they did a flashback within a flashback.

Now I don't feel JJ is violating star trek canon at all, in fact he was handed the time travel device by star trek itself and, I'm hoping with glee that He doesn't reset the timeline let the screw up in time stand. One of the things I loved with deep space nine was that there was a good number of episodes where a character did something and there was no going back to fix it.

I also don't doubt that JJ Abrams cares about his work, I just happen to feel his work is over-valued and over-budgeted like so many other hollywood hot-property people.

And as I said, had they given it to brannon braga, I'd hate it more than EA games products. So I'll more than likely be in a theater watching it
