    I would think JJ would back away from another robot movie. I don't ever remember watching the Micronauts cartoon but I do remember that it only lasted a season or two. Did it ever get a cult following? #micronauts

    If they use the comics as a launching point, there was some great potential. Talk of "body banks" and the different worlds with different alien races. Good reading. #micronauts

    In reply to JJ Abrams Gets Small For Micronauts Movie?
    Micronauts were pretty cool - and the mythology wasn't so obtrusive that it kept you from making up your own storylines. The interchangeable nature was the key: like Legos, you could always build something awesome that had nothing to do with the original toys' parts from which it was constructed. Everything had some kind of missile-launcher, too!

    In addition, the design was ahead of its' time for both characters and toys. When I recall these and the Corgi, Matchbox, and GI Joe stuff of the same era, it's easy to see why Kenner went to draw inspiration the Micronauts for its' Star Wars line. #micronauts

    I still have a magnetic Baron Karza, with his evil black magnet horse, whom he can merge with and become an evil black magnet centaur.

    That's the problem with kids today. Not enough magnet centaurs. #micronauts

    I love Wesley Crusher because so many geeks hate him. I hope he appears in the sequel, travelling back through time to rescue Spock and creating a device to recreate Vulcan. #startrek

    You have a great plot device right there. I would pay to see that.

    Although not the Uhura part. Save that for the extras on the next DVD. #startrek

    Leonard Nimoy is such a gent. And yeah Quinto pretty much was Spock. Couldn't have casted that better.

    On another note, horay for Will Wheaton! #startrek

    @ManchuCandidate: Wheaton does seem like a pretty cool, genuinely geeky, fun guy. Until recently when I discovered his blog/he started appearing on The Guild I'd always assumed he was a total dweeb a la Wesley Crusher. Turns out I shouldn't have judged him based on the annoying, whiny character he used to play. #startrek

    Actually, the gal who plays her said in an interview for GI Joe (the other movie she was in this summer) that you never hear which ship she is assigned to, so she could have ended up on the Enterprise. #startrek

    They should have had the same actress play the two different orion women. Then it would have gotten accross that they all do look alike. #startrek

    So what if Kirk thinks all Orion women look alike, maybe some of them do. #startrek
