   	What do you expect?  Berman and Braga (AKA Beavis & Butthead)   
   had been screwing the pooch on this for the better part of 11 years.   
   It's not at all surprising that Abrams would come along and grab the   
   wrong end of the stick for entirely the wrong reasons when he decided   
   to produce/direct these films.

   	I personally can't wait...  Second to the Cult of Firefly, if   
   there's ever going to be a mob out to lynching Abrams, Star Wars fans   
   are definitely up there.  Particularly when you consider they're the   
   ones that caused the fights at the last convention they attended.

   	Sorry, won't happen.  Why?  Because Trek Fans are a   
   dysfunctional bunch.  Most of the ones that I've encountered will take   
   any and all shit shoveled to them on a plate and eat it.  Which is   
   what producers aim for because the producers know these sort of fans   
   are the first to throw money at that plate of offal, eat it, and then   
   blog it producing torrents of hot lady spunk from watching it and   
   coo'ing about it all.
