   They will certainly be remembered ... as completely brainless asses who   
   ruined a franchise. There's a growing list: JarJar Abrams, Moore-Ron,   
   Star Trek's Beavis & Butthead, Doctor Who's Russell Twat Davies, ...   
   :-(   
      
   Most of these talentless fools are around 60 years old (now, not   
   necessarily when they ruined the franchises). Their mid-life crisis age   
   kicking in, perhaps.
