Is there no end to the stupidity?
By The Flashlight

Kirk comes back - I've already clearly expressed my opinion on this topic. I would rather remember Kirk as the iconic hero of TOS than see him squeeze his rotund body into a uniform and perform a sad caricature of himself for the amusement of a handful of pathetic fanboys.

Frakes directs the next film - meh. I don't have anything against Frakes. He directed what I think is the second-best Trek film ever (First Contact), and I don't hold him responsible for Insurrection, which compared to Nemesis was a masterpiece. We need to face the reality that a Spielberg or a Peter Jackson or a Martin Scorcese is never going to wake up one day and decide they want to direct a Trek film.

The next film is another prequel - I blame Lucas and Star Wars for this. Phantom Menace started this whole "prequel" craze. The story of the Alpha Quadrant needs to be continued, we need to see what happened to Sisko, etc. Not more Prehistoric Trek.

Braga now in executive role - so what? Coto may be showrunner, but as long as everything has to be run through Bermaga, anything that even remotely resembles quality storytelling will be squashed in favor of more "time travel craziness".
