JJ has proved that he can get actors to play characters (most of the time) instead of just looking bewildered at a dot on a wall but he has very little control over the quality of the situations those characters are facing (otherwise Star Trek 2009 would have been more than just an average Star Trek film with new actors in).

Which, given the writing team they've got, is probably going to turn out okay. I mean, there's no Orci.

This thread is now a merger of OffTopic's Trek and Prometheus threads.
