Here's the Entertainment Weekly article:

[Koinek]

^Guys, that stuff was in a part of the article tagged as spoilers. Could you please mark it with spoiler tags?

I honestly don't see anything in that quote which is terribly spoilerish, but I've fixed it anyway.

You gearing up for a Mod comeback, Koinek?

Heh heh...we've already established in Misc. that nobody responds to me. I'm one of those closet freaks who doesn't mind seeing pics but hates to hear anything story-related beyond the trailer or plot synopsis.

PS. I should add that I am a closet dashingly handsome freak.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

This part of the article cracked me the hell up. The TRUE reason why Chris Pine, who really doesn't look all that much like Shatner, got the role of Kirk:

Abrams was impressed by Pine's charisma and invited him back, along with two other Kirk candidates, to test with Quinto. The duo's chemistry was undeniably bromantic, and Pine was offered the role.

K/S slash trumps all! Why let Heroes have all the fun of deliberately egging this sort of thing on, in a hilariously blatant and calculated manner?

I thought about it but didn't see anything in the quote that is particularly "spoilerish". There are no details about who is in the scene, what happens or even why. It just says "something" happens and people may not like it.

I guess it's a spoiler that some people might get pissed by something Star Trek does? They're already getting pissed, and have been doing so for how long, about a year now? Some spoiler!

However this quote pleased me immensely:

That ethos may seem cornball to an America darkened by a decade's worth of catastrophe, but after an election season that has seen both presidential nominees run on ''hope'' and ''change,'' Star Trek just may find itself on the leading wave of a zeitgeist shift — away from bleak, brooding blockbusters and toward the light. ''In a world where a movie as incredibly produced as The Dark Knight is raking in gazillions of dollars, Star Trek stands in stark contrast,'' Abrams says. ''It was important to me that optimism be cool again.'

I couldn't stand Dark Knight's dreary outlook and the amount of people that subscribed to it. I'm very glad that this movie may blow that away.

I agree, I'm happy they decided to challenge the dark and gloomy bandwagon.

 

[Samuel T. Cogley]

It's funny that Quinto thinks this film offers hope for unity. Doesn't Quinto visit any message boards?

He's probably referring to the normal people.

No, instead they are joining the reboot/remake bandwagon.

Great, isn't it?

I'm all for it.

The article doesn't tell us much.

If you were already predisposed to like it, you'll like it even more.

If you were already predisposed to dislike it, you'll dislike it even more.

So we strengthen our preconceptions/misconceptions, based less on additional facts than on our pre-existing tendencies.

Sort of like life.

And I agree, BTW.

Well I'm impressed. I thought it was going to be lots darker, especially when Orci said it wasn't your father's Star Trek.. Hmm he used that line for Transformers also..

Orci needs new material

We were promised dirt.

Where's the dirt? Damn you abrams!

The "heresy" moment is actually when the audience first realizes Star Trek is adding a music soundtrack, and the first song you hear at the beginning starts "It's been a long road getting from here to there..."

I've been accosted on here occasionally because I never liked the dark and gloomy feel of certain shows. Darn, it's good to be right!
