That Guy on 10 May 2009
Abrams has to walk the fine line of introducing the series to new "casual" fans who aren't familiar with all the technobabble, and not pissing off the hardcore fans who like dress up to conventions and stuff.
I hope the next upcoming star trek project, if there is one, includes some sort of social commentary of some sort; as that was pretty much the original purpose of the original star trek series. Though corny, but the original series had episodes where like the crew would visit a planet where the half white, half black guy, hated the half black, half white guy. Under the guise of a cheesy sci fi show, they got away with a lot of political commentary sometimes.
