So, the trailer (the 2nd one) to the new Star Trek film is out.
And it seems like they finally got the message. It’s Star Trek Jim, but not as we know it (please shoot me now).
The trailer shows an atmosphere that seems to do away completely with the past, and this is a very, very good thing. From what this small preview tells us, they’ve been looking closely at the best science fiction show ever: Battlestar Galactica (the new one). BSG runs circles around all Star Trek series and films combined. The new Star Trek film seems darker, less sterile - more like BSG.
I hope this can usher in a new beginning for the franchise. Forget those so-called die-hard Trek fans, they’re idiots who have no idea whatsoever about what makes good television and what doesn’t. People don’t buy the idealistic we’re-all-gonna-be-okay-and-lovey-dovey crap from the earlier series anymore - why do you think Deep Space Nine is held in such high regard by non-Trekkies? Exactly - because it made the first baby steps away from this ridiculously perfect Federation nonsense, and showed us a future more fitting with human nature, something we can more relate to: war, genocide, slavery, oppression.
Let’s hope that the new Star Trek film will be hated as much as possible by die-hard Trek fans. The more they hate it, the better it will be.
