Have Nimoy is great..Shat too...wonderful...
By gemini0472

I think that JJ Abrams will be faithful to the Star Trek universe. God Bless him and the writers, they are taking on a great task indeed.

I have always been more of a fan of Star Trek, than Star Wars. I think mostly because I grew up as a chid on the reruns (only 35 yrs old) and I think Star Trek seems more plausible that Star Wars.

I do hope, even if it seems hard to imagine, that Abrams, Kurtzman, Orci, find a way to include Shatner. I will tell you why.

The fans are who brought a tv series that was only on for a short time (3 years I think) to be a successful movie franchise from 1979 to 1991. I find that incredible, to say the least.

I have went on these sites and read comments back and forth on William Shatner being in/out of this project. By my count, seems more want him in than out. Many who want him in are still angry about his death in "Star Trek Generations" because many feel that it was not a proper send off of Kirk. I agree. Gene Roddenberry had already died prior to "Generations" and I don't think he would have been pleased with what they did to his Kirk character. I wish Kirk's involvement with Trek would have stopped with "Undiscovered Country", which was a proper send off. But that’s not what happened.

I just want everyone to remember why so many love Trek. It’s not just the stories and characters created by Roddenberry. Its the people behind the characters: Shatner, Nimoy, Kelly, Nichols, Doohan, Takei,and Koenig that people also fell in love with and made the parts they played. Some have passed. But honoring these people and including them in ongoing adventures has always worked for Trek.

So, Mr. Abrams, Kurtzman, and Orci, you have taken a big job, which you probably knew would not be easy. But understand, this might be the last time we see (given their ages) Nimoy and possibly Shatner in these roles. You didn't ask to have to deal with what happened in "Generations", but if you can find a way....I will be a fan or yours for life.

Gene
