Man, Harlan Ellison is probably on his way to your house right now to yell at you through the windows.
Ah, he's just one of those types with a perpetual chip on his shoulder. I'm sure he wouldn't bother with a nobody like me. Besides, if you read the statement he made in the article, he's probably in front of Orci's house yelling at him through his windows.

OK, so, yeah, these rumours could turn out to be bogus, after all they couldn't possibly turn out to be planning to film something so clich�d, could they. . ? Ohh, wow! Instant flashback to 1998 and 2002!
And, yes, as a consequence, by all means let us not even waste our valuable time debating them. There are far more pressing matters that require our attention. How do we all think Star Trek: Enterprise's seventh season is shaping up? Pardon? They did?! Two years ago?! Oh.

If your post is directed toward me, I never said that we shouldn't debate the rumors. In fact, I asked for people's thoughts about the newest rumors at the end of my post. I just said that I didn't like what I was hearing.

*eyes dart between Dukhat and Lee* I brought cupcakes...cupcakes, anyone!? (I tried to say c o o k i e s but the BB software said html c o o k i e tags weren't allowed...now that's strange...)
Anyway, directed at HerbShrump, at least if you contradict canon with a movie set *after* the rest of Trek you can rationalize it as new discoveries I would really love a prequel movie or series that rigorously adhered to canon and just fleshed out the past we've heard so much about...but my hopes are not up for this to be like that.

It's strange, for a long time my only recent sighting of Takei had been in a cameo on Scrubs, in which he looked distinctly past it. But he's looking much more capable in his role in Heroes. I guess it'd still be possible, provided he had a young hunky Riker-ish XO to do all the action stuff. But let's be realistic, there remain plenty of practical reasons why it'll never happen, and one ultimately realistic one: they will never, ever do it. End of story, sad though that truth may be.

I think it helps that he's not speaking English in those scenes, since overacting in Japanese is, most of the time, like getting wet while swimming. All he really does is act stern and on the verge of a stroke, or as if he has a stick up...actually, I don't think I want to go there.
Not that I'm dissing the guy, mind. I've just always felt that Nichelle Nichols is somewhat more underrated than she deserves compared to the other "co-stars". Walter Koenig doesn't count as he's proven his acting chops as Bester.

That's because Bester is a character, Chekov is an overpaid extra with a funny accent. Seriously, we know more about most guest stars than we do about Chekov.

Although it potentially represents the most high-profile thing he's done since Chariots of Fire, I find it hard to think of Ben Cross' casting as Sarek as anything else but yet another milestone on the downward spiral his career has taken ever since that 1981 triumph.

Actually I am very exited about the prospect of the new Trek movie - considering that after the cancellation of ENT it didn't seem like there would be any future for Trek.
And as long as all the debated story points are just rumors as of today, I wouldn't really get all worked up about it.
Let's wait and see what comes along in the form of CONFIRMED plot details...

Well... I won't be able to say what's on set when I go there December.

I would have liked to have seen a Sulu/Excelsior show.
