Star Trek 3 Writers Are Actual Fans

However..Superman Returns had a fan at the helm too and look how that turned out. Hopefully they can find the middle ground between the two ends. Those two ends being so heavily laden with the fan love (Easter eggs,shout outs, nods to the source material etc) that gets in the way or in some cases ruins the movie and what J.J. A's take on it.

hopefully it'll turn out good. I'm not to picky of a Trek watcher, though I was saddened to learn that abrams holds the keys to all Trek and is self admittedly not a fan.

Trek doesn't need somebody who is absolute gaga over it, but it would help to have somebody who likes it and gets it.

What I hope to not see again is Villain with Big Ship threatens Earth Again and Alien Probe threatens Earth again.

Let them negotiate their way through some alien culture's bizarro extremism that teaches us drugs are bad and racism is wrong while dealing with a spatial anomaly that warps the fabric of reality in a puzzling way.

Berman was in charge of Trek for about 10 years, and hated the show, but it paid.

Trek 3 is doomed, as Orci is involved still in some capacity. (any capacity--I don't remember if it is as director or producer--either way is death)
Transformers BeastWars and Trek NextGen both had fans as consultants, which resulted in mostly decent product. When the fans weren't there, both shows suffered.

Star Trek 3 should probably have a plot that makes something out of the events of the first one.

ST3 is a Klingon war. They've said so a few times.

I'm glad 3 will feature some more boldly going, but as a longtime fan -- 41 years, as of March -- I have to say I'm happy with Abrams-Trek. I think the whole 'real fans hate Abrams' is just another pernicious Internet meme, or yet another case of fans jockeying for position.

I mean, Into Darkness, while far from a perfect film, brought ham-fisted yet earnest political allegory back to Star Trek, and a large cadre of so-called fans failed to appreciate that. It's like they forgot classic original series episodes, like D.C. Fontana's "The Enterprise Incident" weren't all that big on plot-logic, either.

Let's not dive into the JJA Trek debate again.
Please?
It's hard, I know. And oh so tempting. I've deleted three accidental segways already in just this reply.

Honestly in general for some fandoms..i think they should just wait until those who grew up with whatever all die off and then reboot..like say wait 75 to 100 years from the last episode of something and then remake it.

But what are they going to do until then? Come up with something new or original? pffft. Yeah right.
Studios and Networks don't like doing that. Too much of a gamble. The money is in the established franchises. And reality shows. And professional wrestling. And sleaze. Better still, a franchise reality show about sleazy lives of professional wrestlers!

meh..it's just a comment regarding how some fans of some fandoms react...mainly due to those who scream ruined forever jut by hearing a name be it an actor,writer,director,star or a company doing it.
