JJ Abrams did for Star Trek what needed to be done. He tossed out the boring science and ethics crap and filled it in with awesome epic space action. Basically he Star Warsed up Star Trek.

Now that he is behind the helm of Star Wars we can assume that all the boring politics crap from the prequels will get dumped in favor of epic space action.

So long as he doesn't have a time warp reboot Star Wars I think it's safe to say that the next Star Wars will be as good as the best old Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back.


What Star Trek needs is simply good writers, of which there are plenty.

Not the hacks that wrote Transformers to turn into a crappy version of Star Wars.

Sure you can ramp the action up a bit in Trek, I don't have an issue with that, but Battlestar Galactica was rebooted really well, I don't buy that a new creative team couldn't make a fresh new Star Trek that's entertaining and well written and still Star Trek without selling out the franchise for the Mountain Dew/Doritos munching crowd.

When I sit down to watch a serial TV series in the hour format I want it to have melodrama and mysteries that takes hours or seasons to shed light on. I want moral dilemmas and secrets and all that interesting stuff.

But when I go to a 90 minute movie I want to sit down with a bowl of popcorn and a big soda and see cool stuff happen in the most epic ways possible.

Star Trek on TV is for talking about cultural differences and scientific ethics. Star Trek on the big screen is for KAAAAAAHHHHHHNNNNNNN!

That's why Star Wars movies are so much more popular than Star Trek movies. This year there will be 12 Star Trek movies, but there are less good Star Trek movies than good Star Wars movies and even the worst Star Wars movies are more fun than the almost all the pre-Abrams Star Trek movies.
