Wes, let's please try to not have the doings of other boards (especially the TrekBBS) posted here. We'll have our own discussions without dragging their insipid nonsense here, thank you.
Anyway, I find your previous post about wanting to see posters from different eras, and then having you actually post said wish to be highly suspicious. Or maybe I'm just jealous of your apparent superpower of making wishes come true. Although if it were me, I'd have wished for a million dollars.

I hate reboots... god damn I'm not looking forward to Casino Royale nor this film.

The preview for Casino Royale looked pretty good.
I don't know anything about it's plot line but from the preview - considering it had Dame Judi that they weren't "Rebooting" but that it was an insight into how they get new "James Bonds" each time.

How is every James Bond film not a "reboot?" "Say James, interesting how you're a veteran of the Boer War."
And how is a poster with a single image and a date on the bottom crazy go stupid? There's something like that for every movie ever. (Well, for the ones intended to be loud summer fims, at least.)
And Wes announces his intentions in the very same post.
This thread is making me prematurely grey.

I was just dicking around with the TrekBBS kids. I know you chums are above this sort of thing.
The posters were a quick 20 minute fanboy wack-job. No need to troll on me (ahem. Home Decor) for how they look rushed... jesus.
I still think 29th century starfleet could be a good time-travel-inspired series. Time travel can definitely be the core of a series - no a plot device or some sort of creative hack, if used correctly. It'd never happen, but one can dream.

But that TrekBBS thread. . . Jesus. And this is an example of one of those dynamic Trek discussion forums which we should aspire to emulate? I'm trying not to have a go (because such things always seem to get back to them, result, instant flamewar) but aside from the miasma of avatars and quotes and re-quotes, one thing kept popping up in my head: who takes the time to talk about Trek on the internet but isn't sufficiently knowledgeable to be able to recognise the "AGT..." or 29th Century Starfleet logos? Or am I really displaying one of the problems with current Trek that a reboot might hope to address, that there's too much other stuff to remember, which drives away casual and new fans?

No not really, the AGT communicator has appear now in 4 Major episodes, AGT, The Visitor, Timeless and Endgame. They should know. Anyone with the encyclopaedia would know it - same as the Far future communicator.

But from an aethetic and social engineering standpoint it is pretty interesting the conclusions being jumped to.
RE: The actual movie, well, Mr. Abrams's MI:III doesn't exactly fill me with hope towards a vital and refreshingly interesting take on an old fave.
