[JarodRussell]

Character-driven drama means that, in order to get from A to B, characters act stupid and irrational.

I wouldn't have put it quite so accurately.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Character-driven drama means that, in order to get from A to B, characters act stupid and irrational.

Indeed. See: ST-TWOK, ST-TSFS, ST-TUC, etc. etc...

"Plot-driven science fiction" means that, in order to fill two hours or a few hundred pages the author builds a tinkertoy designed to bore anyone over the emotional age of 17.

Human beings act irrationally in the emotionally motivated pursuit of personal ends. Eliminate that and throw away most of the worthwhile storytelling in history, including Shakespeare and the Bible.

Wait, are we talking about Star Trek or Prometheus?

When you put it like that it doesn't actually sound that "worthwhile".

Data will be in it! CANON VIOLATION!!!!!!!!!

It would not surprise me if Brent Spiner had an itty bitty little part in this movie.

 

[Set Harth]

Well, they did say a character from TOS would be in it...

Does Data's head retroactively qualify?

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
