Yeah, still don't see it, though. I agree that on face value he's a jobbing director and really hasn't done anything effects heavy that would cry out Star Trek director, but that argument could be applied to Nicholas Meyer. Thing is, looking at his resume, and knowing that his best stuff is workshopped with the actors to find character in a scene, fills me with more hope than if, say, Michael Bay were announced as sitting in the chair. It might turn out that he really is just another director for hire, and does exactly what the studio heads want and then screws it up. Likewise, he might just pull a rabbit out of the hat and make the bestest thing ever. I just think he's being judged on aspects of his career which don't matter.
