Roberto Orci: Not really. The main judgment call is going to be whether or not the theory of the movie works. And the theory sort of encompasses it…either you buy the movie or you don’t. So we aren’t going to sweat every little detail. We are going to sweat whether or not you buy our interpretation of it. But this is not a surprise. When we were constructing the trailer we knew that many were going to criticize it. We have our eyes wide open I think. But again, of course it is terrifying. I think I said on your site that in those times when canon is fuzzy, then we are ‘The Supreme Court’ right now and the court has to rule one way or the other.
It's a a veiled reboot alright, even though they're too scared to come out and say it. Stow that TOS uniform some place safe, the active 20/30 fanbase is about to get hostile toward Trekkies. For the next several years we won't be able to come close to any kind of real disscussion about anything resembling what will be known as the "old show."
They're taking this ship straight to Cuba.
To the tune of Barack the Magic Negro:
Star Trek the magic reboot
Cranked by J.J.
The Trekkie boards they call it that
Because it’s Trek but not authentically
Yeah, the J.J. guy from Cloverfield
Said he makes guilty fans feel good
Trek’s now for him, and not for me
'Cause I’m not from the hood.
See, real Trekkies, like Jerwa,
Braga or, Coto
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not brought the cash like a punk!
Oh, Star Trek the magic reboot
Cranked by J.J.
The Trekkie boards they call it that
Because it’s Trek but not authentically
Some say Abram's "articulate"
And bright and new and "clean.
"The media sure loves this guy,
A Romulan interloper's dream!
But, when you watch the previews,
Watch out, and don't be fooled!
That Vulcan wields a shiny Glock
Cause J.J.’s just that good!
Oh, Star Trek the magic reboot
Cranked by J.J.
The Trekkie boards they call it that
Because it’s Trek but not authentically
