High Word Coun At Last

The source says he saw the script in Abrams hand when Abrams came to a meeting with the production staff,and it was quite thick when he compared it's thickness to previous script thicknesses.

Maybe he was carrying two identical copies of the script?

Abrams would not carry 2 copies of the same script as it would pose a security risk.Further questioning of my source indicate it was just one script as no boundary layer was perceptible to him if he had been carrying 2 scripts.

As an example if you are carrying 2 or more separate bundles and each bundle is self contained and then you stack the bundles together you will see that it is 2 separate bundles but each bundle will be seen to be distinct.

If you stack together 2 identical books and carry them in your hand you will clearly see it is 2 separate books and not just 1 large book.This is what leads my source to be convinced it will be a complex,high word density script.

Also if you look at Abram's "Lost",you will notice a lot of talking exposition,interaction,conversation,angst,and multi-layered sub-plots leading to a further paradigm of discourse.His previous work supports this deduction.

This will mean a different and much more challenging plot for Star Trek 11.

Wow. I never saw so much typing with so little point.

Word of advice: using big words in your post doesn't make you look smart if everything you're saying is totally idiotic. Just saying.

Translation: John Norman's Chronicles of Gor series is an objectively superior work of literature than Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. Gotcha. :thumbsup:

Excellent post, TGT. Exactly what I was thinking.

"SEE! More words = better story!" (Rolling my eyes.)

Lost is a tv series and you cannot compare to a fim which by law must end when the credits roll.

So, in Flash Gordon at the very end of the film when we hear Ming's echoey/ghostly laugh; by law that shouldn't have happened? Or the "epilogue" at the end of Pirats of the Caribbean 3?? Or-

Well, I'm sure you get my point.

Here's some another point: StarTrek11, you are .. either just incredibly obtuse, or simply very stupid. :wtf:

Not that I have anything against people of lower-than-average IQ, but I do expect that they don't attempt to ingest an entire thesaurus and then pass their bowel movements off as signs of an advanced education... :vulcan:

There's no chance that you can cite the relevant statute, is there? State or Federal?

And we'll need you to shepherdize that, too, of course...

It is a law which is self existent.

When the credits roll it indicates to you clearly the film has ended and for you to leave the sinema.

It has nothing to do with the fact it may part of a trilogy.

Lost is a weekly series and they can tell very complex,multilayered,branch and fork stories which digress from the original premise to deliver a destination far removed from the starting point that the journey becomes more important then the destination with many digrssions into uncharted stopover points.I hope you get my meaning.

no shit. most things are self existent, if they, you know, exist. Do you mean self evident?

When the credits roll it indicates to you clearly the film has ended and for you to leave the sinema.

It has nothing to do with the fact it may part of a trilogy.

So when Lost's credits roll, that's not indicating to you clearly that the episode has ended and for you to turn off the TV or watch something else? The logic is the same as yours - remember your condition that it doesn't matter if it may be part of a series of stories.

Wow. Was this really necessary? I've never seen a flame from you before, Blip, so I'll let this one go without an actual warning. But this goes for everyone- comments like these will be warned in the future. This isn't TNZ! :p
 
I know Kira's Mom, but to be perfectly honest the amount of complete dreck certain people have been posting in the forum as "confirmed from my source in Uranus" (etc) is getting more than a little irritating.

Nevertheless I apologise to anyone else, who may have felt offended on behalf of the OP.

Xortex: I'm quite well aware of the meaning of the word; unfortunately I wasn't aware that I'd omitted the word deliberately just prior in the sentence. For that, I do apologise. ;)
