Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley developing Star Trek reboot for Paramount

Copium can be a soothing comfort, hope you have a steady supply.



So you really accept the the Romulans were wiped out just because the home planet of their interstellar empire is destroyed and they conveniently need Spock to fix it? An empire whose ships are powered by micro black holes and are warp capable that can't evacuate their planet to other worlds in their empire in time before a supernova.

Its such a flimsy excuse to hire Nimoy. It was a gimmick to attempt to somehow both anchor the jjverse into proper trek and the reimagined shitty parody version of trek.

Coincidence is a mainstay of the Star Trek Universe.
Has been since day one.
Why is this one example any worse (or better for that matter) than the hundreds of others through out the 50+ years of episodes.

Or it was really bad writing to insert a beloved character into a reboot movie. Having their cake and failing to eat it.

Only in your world.

Pretty sure that most everybody else is fine with it.

So you are happy to accept any old crap under the franchise label as long as "its more star trek"?

Except there are fans who don’t think the Abrams films were ‘any old crap.’ As I said before, you are welcome to hate it. But don’t talk like your opinion is shared by Trek fans the world over.

Sorry but your "any old crap", is by most other folks standards, just fine new stuff.

It's apparent after all these years, you just love to piss & moan and have such high expectations, that nothing you haven't created in your own mind, will ever please you.
It's an impossible standard that none of the episodes of Star Trek can live up to.

You don't debate, you make demands... that only works in a world where you live alone and are perfect.
And that world my friend, despite you apparently believing otherwise, does not exist.

And with that, have a lovely Thanksgiving evening, I'm done.

Indeed, which is why in-universe, DS9's Trials and Tribble-ations" and ENT's "In a Mirror, Darkly" made full use of TOS' ships, hand devices, costumes, etc., all (as noted yesterday) taken as and experienced at face value as the real, canonical / in-universe account, not a "dramatization" of events which wiped away the specifics of TOS as something to disregard.



All true, but that's to be expected with some driven by an agenda to erase, upend or replace TOS in their prequel series. It is an agenda doomed from the start, but they're still trying.

Yes, because the episodes you mentioned were pretty much one offs. (And yes IaMD was a two parter.)
