NEWS: Quentin Tarantino Pitch & Paramount Assembling Movie Writers' Room

"Yesterday's Enterprise" was the original "goes nowhere, does nothing" reset button episode. Not saying I don't like it...but I think it is massively over-rated. Because virtually nothing happens.

That episode is very much about the journey. It is, by definition, a "what if" episode that occurs almost exclusively in a alternate timeline. It's nothing like using the big, bad reset button as a lazy way to get out of a tight spot.

I'd rather take my chances on a professional filmmaker who's a fan of the franchise than a professional filmmaker who's trying to turn Trek into another franchise that he's a fan of.

Cinematic Trek should not be produced by the same man who has a series he treats more preferentially. I like the Abrams films alright, especially Beyond

Irony: Abrams' involvement in Beyond was tangental compared to the first two and--surprise--it was also better than the first two.

Yes, so would I. And I have to say this about Yesterday's Enterprise-the story featured a moral dilemma. This is good for drama. And this episode managed to combine this with action-adventure.

Debatable. I prefer Trek 09. They all are good though and I would welcome Abrams back in a heart beat.

Critic and user ratings tend to have it marginally as the weakest of the three, and it was certainly the worst performer at both the box office and on disc.
