   Damon Lindelof says fans don't actually want Trek sequel spoilers

   We've been hungry for every little peek at the Star Trek 2 set we can   
   find around here lately, and we imagine more than a few of you have   
   been, too. But if you ask the flick's co-writer Damon Lindelof, it's all   
   for naughtâ€"because deep down, we really want to remain in the   
   dark.   
   Lindelof's sort of a self-taught expert when it comes to super-secret   
   sci-fi projects. First he spent six years constantly deflecting   
   questions about the mysteries of Lost, then he spent the past several   
   months deflecting questions about the mysteries of Prometheus. Now, as   
   that movie heads to theaters, it's the Star Trek sequel's turn.   
   According to Lindelof, when it comes to spoilers about the flick (who   
   the villain might be, who the new characters are, whether we might see   
   any cameos, etc.), we'd really be happier if we didn't know anything,   
   and it's up to him (and co-writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and   
   director J.J. Abrams) to save us from ourselves.   
   "We want to leave some air of mystery and intrigue surrounding the   
   movie. Because as much as people clamor for information, I really   
   fundamentally believe they don't want to know. It is modulating that   
   desire between 'I know that my Christmas presents are in my parents   
   closet' and 'If I open it up I can see what I will get.' But, on   
   Christmas morning when you see those same gifts under the tree, you know   
   what's inside and there is a part of you that wishes you hadn't peeked.   
   So it is up to us to lock the closet tight."   
   Okay, so we'll admit that we don't really want to know everything that   
   happens before we see the flick, but we still want to shake our   
   Christmas presents a little before we open them up, right? In that   
   spirit, we'll take the brief glimpses where we can get them.   
   What about you? Would you really rather not know anything about this   
   particular blockbuster ... or any upcoming movies, for that matter?
