Random thought on Ep VII:
So, a lot of people joke that JJ Abrams' ST09 was "the best SW movie since ROTJ," and that it was more of a SW movie than a ST movie (ie, ST isn't supposed to be so action-y).
Got me thinking, it would be pretty ironic if Ep VII turned out as "the best ST movie since _____" (sorry, not a ST fan, don't know much about the series). Like, instead of an action-y SW movie, JJ Abrams makes a more philosophical, thinking-man's scifi movie (ie, more in line with ST).
Probably won't happen, but who knows, nothing would surprise me.
