Even if the tos fans hate this movie they pretty much have to embrace it. Bring their friends and family to see it multiple times. It is the only way new trek will happen. If this thing Bombs Paramount would be well within its rights to never spend a dime on the series again.

Then so be it. If this turns out to be a terrible Trek, I'd rather see it bomb than see it be successful and watch Trek turn into yet another teeny bopper flick. Trek is better than that. Trek's success should not hinge on whether the "tween" crowd wants to see this or not. It should hinge on it being a good story or not.

Some people would rather Star Trek not exist than be reimagined. That just blows my mind...

Its about dying with dignity. Something to do with letting sleeping dogs die. Whips and dead horses, all that crap. Who knows, fans are wacked, screw em and move on. They care too much about things for their own good. The studios/producers/powers that be who care nothing about any given franchise beyond how much dough it can rake in, they're the ones who know what is best for a series, and are interested in keeping its integrity, they are good people willing to whore out their assesets, and that is why they win. To succeed you must be willing to whore out, whore out yourself, whore out your daughters, whore out your wives. Whore out whatever you can, it tis the way to go.
