Credit is due....
By USShawk

Let's face it, these guys took a tired franchise and made into something that can live on proudly. It takes guts and vision to do what they did, and it paid off amazingly. Not just in terms in money, but in a whole new set of fans that look forward to the stories going on.

For those who don't have the vision to move forward, well there's not much that can be said for you. You think there can be further adventures with 78 year old Shatner and Nimoy, deceased Kelley and Doohan, and a bitter Koenig? They had their moments, and the TNG era had nowhere else to go, not in terms of stories, in terms of longevity. They did live it out well in the Countdown comic.

I just got back from seeing Transformers 2. An unbearably long movie with about 30 minutes of plot, 90 minutes of fighting and explosions, and 15 minutes of nonsensical necessities. I enjoyed it. It was exciting, cool, silly, funny, and completely incoherent. If anyone watched the credits to the end, please tell me if I missed anything... I couldn't sit through it.

If the next movie is done right it will make $400 million domestically. Word of mouth from new fans, and the DVD are going to create alot more fans. That's exactly what happened with the Batman franchise (not just Heath Ledger's death).
