    JJ Abrams clever? He's an idiot. Take a look at his interview over at Memory-Alpha...


    [memory-alpha.org]


    Pay special attention to his answer to the 4th from last question. He doesn't even know what DS9 or Voyager is!!!


    I cannot believe they let this guy ruin Star Trek without making him do a little research first.

    @Lila Maldicion: Eh, it reads as though he misinterpreted the question.


    Besides, a DS9 or Voyager film would be just as hack as each of the series.

    Io9 really thought the corvette over the cliff was a symbol?


    The "Sabotage" thing I can see in either direction, but that corvette conclusion is quite a stretch.

    I'm thinking instead of The Beastie Boys, the best music for the Corvette scene would have been Rush's "Red Barchetta."

    Sometimes directors are actually unaware of what the props people, et cetera, are doing. So some of those things that have been noticed were probably not coincidences.

    Does there really need to be a fancy canon explanation for why we have better effects tech and a bigger budgets? I don't see why it's that big a deal to have a bridge that looks more in keeping with extrapolations of our current technology.

    I don't exactly possess the skills to put together a respectable villain outfit, which ideally resemble the trenchcoat Ben Stiller wore in Mystery Men, so I figure I'll have to stick to jeans and a t-shirt. On the upside, those heroes will never see it coming... I'll blend into crowds, ready to strike.

    I accuse the real life superheroes of supporting an Evil Organization (Large Corporation-Type) that oppresses the little guy!


    Their website was obviously made with Microsoft programs and only displays correctly in IE.


    For SHAME, superheroes!


    Embrace the open source!

    To all of you interested in R.O.A.C.H. I think the first order of business is to affiliate ourselves with the organization until I have a chance to start the newsletter (something I'm seriously considering, haha). The simplest way to do this!!! Proclaim your allegiance with your screen name.


    Then, we can go kick some ass.
