I just realized that it's funny that people are criticizing Abrams because he's only worked in TV. I don't think that necessarily proves anything. But as far as Star Trek goes, everybody is praising Nick Meyer (and rightfully so), but doesn't the name Harve Bennett ring a bell? If not, let me remind you. He was the producer for the second through fourth Star Trek films. After the lukewarm reception of the first film, they brought him in to take care of things. And he was from television. And he brought the shooting schedule of television and the mentaility of making television to Wrath of Khan. And look how that one turned out. Let's not forget that Star Trek is, first and foremost, television. I'm not saying that Abrams is going to turn out that way too. I don't know. I haven't seen enough of his work. I'm just saying that just because he's from television doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Hell, it might be a good thing.
