Well, saw another trailer for the new trek movie on the way for this summer. In a way I know how Bond fans felt when the actors that play bond change... but its different what they are doing with new trek vs old trek, much more of an issue than just recasting. I know Bill Shat and Leonard will not be around forever, and the characters they helped bring to life can live on in other performers, like the Bonds have...
No, my problem is with the fact that so much of written ideas and character development is being thrown out to make a big budget shoot em up everyone will sleep with everyone else and things will get blown up type of thing. I could do 20 blogs on everything they are changing just based on that one promo during the super bowl.
One huge problem is with James Tiberius Kirk... he's made out to be this bad boy... breaks all the rules... well, this isn't the case with a young Kirk according the the original character development... he mentions in several episodes of the original series and the movies that he was a model student at his academy days, an "absolute bore" that was constantly tormented by Finnegan and other upper class man... and his first space assignments were not to Enterprise... but other ships... and for all get out I can't stress how incorrect building Enterprise on earth is!
o well... change for change sake, just hope its a good movie for Star Trek's future and in this movies defence if there can be one, visually it looks very nice, but sadly, I feel alot of older fans will catch it on DVD, if at all...
