That seems superior yet i’m still not too sure that I like it. In any case will look further into it and choose for myself! :)

#7, actually the quote is “Young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant.” —Admiral Kirk, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

If I am not too beat down by meaningless drivel information by then :)

I’m waiting to hear:

Whether or not J.J. Abrams plans to have his dog on the set with him
What kind of toothpaste the “new” Spock uses
Who else would like to be “fill in the blank” in the movie even though they are too old or do not remotely fit the type required

Not that I don’t appreciate when there actually is real information. This is a very good site overall.

I will look forward to you be re-invigorated when some concrete actual facts come out…whether we like them or not… ;)

Re 7:

Hey, KevinA,

When I mentioned the “double whammies” of Nemesis and Enterprise, I just meant in the sense Nemesis didn’t do so well at the box office and Enterprise didn’t get a full seven-year run.

I actually liked aspects of Nemesis and Enterprise, though I thought both had problems as well.

“Doesn’t care” is probably not accurate. Bad choice of words. I don’t know. I’m just tired of all the hoopla which usually is rumor or non-hoopla and hundreds of dizzying speculative comments to wade through. I pretty much just read the articles now and scan rapidly through the comments.
If some actual news comes out again, maybe I will be invigorated.

I’d hate to think that you don’t care anymore Stanky… I hope you continue to be an antidote to the too many “just gladly accept what ST:TOS Movie we’re given, no matter what it look or sounds like, because it’s Trek right?” types here. And if J.J. casts a wimpy non-Scot in the “Scotty” role, I’ll personal signwrite the “BEWARE…FAKE TREK!” placards and join you in protest… ;)

“and Stanky would get crankier…”

Stanky really doesn’t care that much anymore. Stanky has grown weary of the shear volume of commentary. Nothing Stanky can do is going to affect this one way or the other. Stanky has resorted to babbling and referring to himself by name.

Silly as it may seem to mention it, there is another franchise with more films then Trek and that would be Toho’s Godzilla which is revving up for a 29th film to be released in Imax 3D in 2009.

I think comparing Trek to Bond works on some levels, but not others. There have been a number of actors who played James Bond, with varying degrees of success. Until now, Star Trek’s position on aging captains and crews is not to recast, but to create new charicters. Certainly, Bond and Trek have had their good movies and their bad ones. Bond moved on from the bad ones. Trek can move on from Nemesis. After all, Nemesis had a decent story… it was just poorly executed.
