i am a trekker, have been as long as i can remember. there’s actually video footage of me at age 8 watching the next generation with my mom. ds9 is still my favorite, but i love the original cast movies and have a reverence the original series as well. so i’m not entirely sure how to feel about the new jj abrams remake/reboot/prequel/whatever. ew posted this picture of the “new” enterprise earlier this week:
i think it looks pretty badass, but i’m still cautiously optimistic about this. for one, it’s jj abrams. i liked cloverfield and i didn’t mind mi:3. but i have low regard for pretty much everything else he has done. don’t even get my started on lost. for two, it’s written by orci and kurtzman. these are the geniuses that brought us eagle eye, transformers, and the island. so there’s that. but i’ll definitely go see it. it’s frickin’ star trek.

I’d actually like to get you started on Lost. Thoughts?

lost is a shining example of why the major network 1-hour drama is a dying breed. the show-runners and writers use flashbacks and stupid twists to drag viewers along season after season for ratings and ad revenue. when people would be better to watch actual “good” shows like mad men, battlestar galactica, rescue me, dexter, or the wire (rip), they’re instead spending all their time trying to decipher strings of numbers and smoke monsters. it’s makes no sense because the writers have no idea what they’re doing, but if you say you don’t get it then you’re just labeled as stupid. it’s just bad television, but people eat it up like dancing with the stars and america’s next top douchebag. call me a snob, but i can’t think of a decent major network show save for law&order (svu and original recipe). can you?
