Prepare The Gray Matter.
By c.p.

First: What a waste the interviewer made of an opportunity to make a suggestion to the writer's face.

Last: Since everyone's doing it, and since the writers are asking for it: here's my advice for the next one:

The one thing that most impressed me about this movie, and it's not a "thing", but an idea, is how many layers of meaning there are to every scene, every line and to the movie's basic concept as a whole. Some no doubt were happy accidents which bloomed only in the minds of a few lucky audience members. But others were clearly the result of hard work on your part, Abrams' and others. The action was unbridled fun. But the layering is what will keep me watching it for years. Buried messages were pointed at ears open enough to hear them and became fundamental plot points to those with eyes big enough to see them. Some referenced the fans themselves. Even some, the Jewish people ("Hail the USS Truman", who's namesake made possible the state of Israel, on their way to the genocide of a race embodied by the role Nimoy played--a Jewish actor). The multi-leveled meanings of "cliffhanger" and "no-win scenario." Planet Vulcan and Spock Prime as existential surrogates, not only for the old time line, but for the old fanbase!

Continuing: We, my fellow "Vulcans", are an endangered species. But we'll grab what we can of our "culture" and will preserve it "over here". And in the wake of our experiences with, and our reverence for, this great idea: "Star Trek", we'll pass it on to the "next generation" with a blessing not "usual" for a fanbase so protective of what they love: "Good Luck".

That's the stuff great movies are made of.

Dear Mr Abrams, Mr. Orci, Mr. Kurtzman, et al.,

Do that again, please.
