From Slashdot: "For God's sake, let it rest for a while. Generate some fresh ideas. In this age of real war, and more gritty realistic fare like Battlestar Galactica and Firefly, Star Trek has become hokey and stale. Let it rest until its time comes around again."
I agree that "gritty realistic" fits better what I want to watch nowadays. Star Trek always felt too damn tidy. And now that ST has to go elbow-to-elbow with Firefly and Battlestar Galactica, etc., it feels more like bad retro before its time rather than something new. Hell, I'm not done with Firefly yet. I'd take more of that right now!
Then again, maybe someone could write a kick-ass script and surprise the hell out of everyone. I admit I'd go see it just for old time's sake and a big dose of curiosity. Which is, I'm sure, what the studio is counting on to turn a profit.
