There is only one guy I want writing the next feature if there is one, the guy with the best script no matter who that would be. Now who is to judge -orci and kurtzman? The talentless studio heads? There is no more altruism where that kind of money is concerned. There is only viscious predators. They should appoint someone nuetral who could be unbiased.

Well, I said I hope there's some strong character development, and not just lightweight stuff people yawn through waiting for it to rawk up. Recapturing the chemistry is another thing entirely, and I seriously doubt they'll get that, but if they get some I'll be fine with it.

We'll see.

The biggest benefits that Star Wars had are that it was a movie first and that there was a whole lot less of it. If Star Wars had hundreds of episodes, TV shows airing while the movies were, and the audience had been burned out, it'd be in the same position as Trek. In general, the interest in Star Wars has declined over time, but not as rapidly as Trek.
I just don't think there's any part of Star Wars' formula that can be adapted to Star Trek to sit more butts in the theater.

They have a stormtrooper riding a hoverbike.
They have a very very deep pit for Kirk to almost fall into.
They are giving Sulu a sword and turning him into a 'badass'. I guess this version of Sulu doesn't grow plants in his room...he collects sharp objects...
They have a planet-killing "laser"[/Dr.Evil].
It seems almost as if Abrams is trying to make the movie something different than old Trek. Doesn't Abrams know that Trek is all about making everything as nerdy and needlessly technical as possible? I need my corridor walking scenes, dammit. If I were making this movie I would set it in the 27th century. Because then the technobabble would be slightly different. That's progress.
WITH SCIENCE!

What I got from it is that they are going to spice up the space battles. They made mention that Star Trek was always more like submarine battles, IE slow and tactical. Star Wars battles were intense. They seemed to indicate that they wanted to introduce the intense look of space battle to Star Trek. I wouldn't mind that at all.

The difference btween Star Wars and Star Trek is it's the structure that supports the Star Wars films and the mythology but it's the ideas that keep star Trek afloat - metaphysical ideas. So the more of them there are in one story, the better the odds the story will stay afloat. Ideas should be commissioned by TPTB and weighed accordingly IMO.
I've now amended the title to reflect that.
And I have no idea what your response has to do with what PowderedToastMan posted. Did you mean to respond to someone else and click on the wrong button?
Orci loves rock n' roll, so put another Quatloo in the box office, baby.

Excuse me, but weren't you the one who was satisfied with Star Trek: Enterprise, to the point of defending it?

I liked ENT a lot, but it very rarely had the big hairy dilithium cajones that TOS and DS9 did.
TNG was castrated and VOY was metrosexual.

He would be one of a number, actually. I liked "Enterprise" quite a bit. Some people didn't. Not my problem.

I think its time Orci and Kurtzman stopped doing interviews and let the movie's actors take the lead in promoting this movie from here on out.
I'm tired of "hearing" about what Star Trek needed. Or specifically how it needed to borrow from Star Wars.
How about promoting Star Trek on its own merits. That would be good.

I honestly can't recall the last time an actor said something interesting about a film prior to its release. Orci and Kurtzman may have exhausted everything they're willing and able to say at this point, but I don't think fresh PR blood is the answer, just give us the film.
