To Whom Should the Movie Mantle Pass Post-Abrams

Sometimes folks just like to compare recipes, is all.

We haven't suggested Joe Cornish yet, have we?

 

I was not familiar with that video. Amusing.

 

So glad you agree.

I wonder how many dead horses can be beat before there are no more dead horses?

 

Logic dictates that you employ the science of deduction, grasshopper*:

Spoiler: SCIENCE!

you're on a forum where people still enjoy debating the finer points of a nearly 50-year-old television show; the movies are around 5 years and 1 year old respectively. Even accounting for a potentially smaller window of likely interest in the latter-day films as opposed to the originating show, what do you think the average elapsed time is likely to be between a) your declaring the horse dead, and b) anyone involved in talking about it actually caring?

Show your work.

I think it should pass to no one. Star Trek's been great, but it should end.

It's been over milked. This cow should be allowed to retire with dignity.

 

That's a possibility, too. And I get where you're coming from. (A lot of the ideas for blue-sky "reboots" that we occasionally bat around on the Future of Trek forum would, in all honesty, probably be better-served as simply new properties.)

OTOH I've learned not to count Trek out. A franchise that could recover from The Final Frontier has depths and lives unguessed-at even now. So, who knows?

Star Trek isn't going to end. It is going to be rebooted. And then it's going to be rebooted again. And then again. And then...
