I know everyone is going to grimce at this, but here’s a thought. in the the big process, make amends to Wil Wheaton for what Rick Berman did to him. Everyone knows that Gene told Wil he could look around for other things to do and after he passed away, Rick Berman decided to throw him off the series for it. He is a good actor and this would be a way to set something right. Just a part, dosent have to be big one. Doing the right thing in the proccess is really something to think about.

Or we could have a movie that’s INTERESTING!

You know I’d love to see something about how the people in power brainwash people to see the other side as evil and invade it with the pretense that it’s for our own good when it’s only really for oil.

The torture idea sounds good, how the terrorists only really wanted to undermine our political system and they did by taking away the way justice should be in America which is what it’s based on. That torture’s okay since it’s the “bad guy” like that makes us so much better.

Or the deforestation and water pollution and how people don’t even care

or how out of touch with nature we are now a days

Because Meyer did NOT have the budget that Abrams had.

If Meyer had the budget of Abrams it would be bigger and what ifAbrams had the budget that Meyer had to work with.

So I hate this attack on Meyer just because he did not have the budget that Abrams had.

I know its your opinion and I respect that but your logic I find infuriating.

I mean you don’t criticize Edison for not inventing LED lighting right off the bat. You recognize the invention of the light bulb for the brilliant thing it was, but as time goes on you want to keep doing better and improving your product so that someday you don’t have to use light bulbs anymore, you can use LEDs instead. That’s the same thing I’m saying about Star Trek.

Sorry, but I’ve pointed out facts to back up what I say. Meyer did not put anywhere near the comparable effort into Star Trek as a director that JJ has put into the one Star Trek film he made. JJ’s attention to detail was outstanding, and he’s a much more visual director with a great sense of momentum.

And I’m not bitching neill. What I’m trying to do is express the idea that now that we are here, now that Star Trek has finally become as epic as its potential, I don’t want to see it go back to being small. I want it to go forward, to evolve, to get better, not to give us the same old thing. I’m not bitching about what’s been done before, I’m warning of the danger of going back to do it all over again instead of going ahead where no Star Trek movie has gone before.

Star Trek is at a critical moment. It can continue to be big, to be inspired with imagination, or it can go back to being small, and I don’t want to see it go back again. That way waits the capsizing of the franchise.

As far as your impression goes, dude I watched The Enemy Within last night. For what? The 100th time? I lost count long ago. And every time I watch an episode of TOS I am reminded of how cool these TOS characters are, and of how brilliant the design work on that series was with so little money to create something that tried to be so big. The show still is a brilliant achievement.

I think Nero already was very much like Khan with his revenge. Please make it subtle and thought-provoking. And I don’t feel that the characters’ve been established yet. I’d like to see the development of their relationships, and by that I do NOT mean more Spock/Uhura making-out.
And it would be great to see Mr. Shatner in the movie, so that he and Nimoy’s Spock have a happy happy end to their story.

How dare you insult Nick Meyer, he is much betterdirector and I would have him over JJ Abrams,

I get the impression dmduncan that because of the new movie that you will now no longer be able to watch trek and it spin off shows. I get the impression so many people find the new movie ’shiny’ that they are going to adandon the Trek that came before, well that me tell you something that past Trek is still great and I am glad new fans are discovering it thanks to the new movie.

But I dont like the rest of Trek being bitched about because JJ Abrams is on the scene. They are two different universes in the same franchise, can;t they co exist.

I said the spin offs had the budget, I did not say TOS.

How about a mission that introduces Ferengi. I could see the enterprise exporing space and running into a highly motivated new race, a race motivated by greed and with no morals. How many different ways that could play out. Originally they were met by tng in the fourth episode but thias is a new timeline right?
Leave the countries politics out of our movies give the fans a chance to leave the problems we face and to explore new worlds.

canon = cannon. I’m getting my canons mixed up with my cannons.
