Why don’t we have every Trek fan in the world call up Berman’s local pizzeria (on the same night) and have them deliver to his house a Large Special with the anchovies spelling out the message, “Good riddance!”

When this film is a blockbuster , commercial and fan hit, I would give my pension to be able to call up Rick Berman and tell him how genuinely “pleased” I am, I think I’ll convey the point with my wallet actually.

More ships.

And no TOS-Miranda.

Thanks Don, I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who feels this way.

#34 “3 out of the last 4 Trek movies have been….lets say-pretty average!”
Boy, you’re being kind! Maybe compared to a regular film they’ve been average, but us Trekkers have come to want and expect so much more! Face it, the mythology of Star Trek is a superbly crafted tapestry of story possibility and, simply put, the producers of Trek have really f@*ked with it! They should be ashamed of themselves for having squandered a “one time” opportunity to have effectively utilized the original cast from TOS through the ’80’s and 90’s in a new film every two years! We could, and should, have had a dozen EPIC films in our library by this point in time! Then, and only then, would the torch be passed to a next generation! That would have made sense and not hurt nearly so much as what transpired!

The pessimism here is probably due to the fact that 3 out of the last 4 Trek movies have been….lets say – pretty average!

If you think the pessimism here is bad you should see the IMDB board. I’ve noticed that all of the bashers of this movie always have one of three arguments, “prequels suck”, “don’t recast” or “Abrams is a hack”. They never provide any info to back it up though. Everyone’s entitled to their opinions, but it seems like the bashers are the only ones that try to shove their opinions down your throat as facts without a good argument, then take it as a personal attack when you disagree. It’s really getting tiring, and I’ll bet that most of them are either under 16 or socially retarded.

I think this will have alot of ships,aliens & action sequences that can be made into video games toys/action figures and happy meals and create more money for Paramount stockholders.Trek’s potential for X merchandising needs to be exploited.(I mean fully realized).
