I'm boycotting the movie if both Hoyt and Winston are not in it.

Abrams said he would respect the fans and now we have this? Clearly he lied. He's also a coward for leading the fans on by not resolving the transporter chief issue.

Only those who are sucking up to Abrams will be satisfied with his unwillingness to give us a clear answer on whether or not we'll see both Hoyt and Winston at the controls of the transporter. This is Sci-fi. Anything can be done. Spock was brought back from the grave in STII, and both Abrams and Nimoy owe it to the fans to spend this entire movie running around resurrecting the original ST cast. Abrams is responsible for the cloud hanging over this entire debacle.

Stop sucking up to JJ. Join the petition: www.bringbackkirkkellyroddenberrywhitneymontalbancarmeldoohandanielschegwinlenardensignrickyspinerfarrellalloftheredshirtskoenighoytwinston.com
