Maybe they're not IN the robots, and are controlling two different robots. That would maybe be smart.

I'm a cartoonist, and I know better than to criticize other cartoonists whose work is better than my own.

This piece of crap took four months to make? I would not brag on that one.

It's like Transformers meets Cloverfield, except those are crap and this looks awesome.

Abrams sorely needs his gimmicks. The marketing ploys, the mysteries that seem cool but lead nowhere. The blurs and shaky-cam and lens flares that cover up an extreme lack of real thought or content. And the "homages", which really are just fannish amalgams of other directors who are more original and visionary. He…

@otownjester : I love you. Never stfu.

Yeah, I'd love to see her back as Rogue too. An older Rogue with her stolen Ms. Marvel powers would be pretty awesome. Don't even explain them.

I LOVED Alan Cumming's Nightcrawler. I was so sorry he wasn't in X3. It would be great to see him again.

TWOK was about Kirk making peace with aging.

TOS Kirk violated the prime directive out of choice, in order to achieve a higher good for the very people whose culture he was interfering with. That is a choice of idealism, of selfless heroism. Debatable whether it's right, but that's a different discussion. The new Kirk, in the first movie, did everything for…

It was not good. But like you said- anything even remotely sci fi was gobbled up.

Yancy Butler was so cute on Mann & Machine, though it was a silly show that was very light on the sci fi. It was very unclear what she was exactly- I think she ate food, for example.

It seems cruel, but it makes sense. How do you pick and choose from all the disasters across known space, who to save and who to let go? And what if there's a planet of Hitlers in peril? Or diseased people? Or ugly people, or cute ones, or jerks? It gets really complicated. Best to only save races advanced enough to…

True. Did TOS Kirk & crew ever intervene with nature to save a pre-warp society? No time for research, but I don't remember one off the top.

I was recently thinking what would have been an AMAZING idea would be to take one of the many great Trek novels and adapt them into a movie- decades of material to chose from- and any of them are way better than the writers of giant robot car movies trying to remake Wrath of Khan. Twice.

It looks like it's not Khan or Gary Mitchell or Finegan- it's JOHN HARRISON!

I'm glad to hear they're getting the volcano thing out of the way in the beginning, because it seemed like a silly thing to hang the climax on.

Bane: replacing Jack Nicholson as the voice every man thinks he can do excellently.

If he had psychic energy powers, why would he need the giant gun?

I don't want a Star Trek about war, or a Starfleet built for war.
