I saw the Fast Seven trailer during the Superbowl and was reminded that the next star trek could be as stupid.
Bayformers level stupid. So bad that people will think JJ Abrams Trek movies were good.
There has been remarkably no news since the new director was hired. Unlike Star Wars and Bond.
Yeah that is my big fear.
The fact that so many people seem to think the Abrams movie are some of the best films ever made leads me to believe it is only going to get worse and I should just stop caring about Star Trek.
Most people seem happy with the idea of another ITD or FaF In space as the future of the franchise so I guess I am just a grumpy old fart who is out of touch.
It's clear that the old ideas will not work in the modern world and it's time for the older fans like us to step aside so the way is clear for a Trek series that appeals to younger modern viewers.
After all we have three years of TOS, seven of TNG, another seven of DS9, and about half a dozen or more movies to watch on home video, we shouldn't damage the franchise by watching the new movies and complaining they are not like the old. Instead we should just let it continue and keep our mouths shut. Watch what we like and let the new people who seem to understand what it takes to make a hit movie in the modern world do their own thing. No one is forcing us to watch these films so it's not worth worrying about if you ask me.
Given how well they have done I think it is clear that if we don't like them it's our own fault for being out of touch and being too blinded by our love of the old stuff to see how much better these new films really are.
It's time to stop bitching about new Trek and just step aside and let Star Trek change and keep pace with the modern world.
