Caution & Hope
By c.p.

First, I don't think we should get in too much of a hissy over the "humanize" comment. He was just speaking off the cuff and I think the real point he was trying to make is that Abrams' Trek will be (still be) character driven. I think from their perspective they want to stave off the notion that this is an effort to take a precious pop icon and turn it into mindless Hollywood junk...again.

It's a lofty, noble goal to resurrect a dead cultural phenomenon in a way that is both popular with today's audiences and respectful of its soul. It's also very hard. Whether they can achieve it of course is way up in the air. But at least they seem to be taking the task seriously for once. As fans, we are right to be cautious, but AS FANS we must be open to new ideas. It's hard to believe now, but some old-timers still can't accept a crew other than the originals manning a ship named Enterprise. TWOK was originally decried by fans as well. The list of misplaced trekkie outrages would reach from San Francisco to Alpha Centauri. But we're dead in the water here people. It's either evolve or die. We should all thank God that someone somewhere had enough sense to rescue our beloved Star Trek from the reaper's clutches in this, her eleventh hour (sniffle). For the first time in 10 years--maybe longer--there's a real sense of hope that Star Trek could finally be realized on the big screen in the way we've always known it could be.
