Your 'Star Trek' cliche here

Brief sweep around the IntNet shows that I'm not the only one with reservations about CBS's new "Star Trek" for 2017, on its digital subscription service, of which I've not heard until today.

Hooray?

Alex Kurtzman will be exec producer, which means it will be in the pathetic, brainless reboot universe. Thanks be to the Great Bird of the Galaxy that Nimoy's gone, so they can't drag out ancient Spock again. Unless they do ... digitally.

I saw Kurtzman and Roberto Orci at a convention many years ago, and they were such jackasses. Their work shows little maturity in the passing years.

But, 2017 is a long ways away, and I might be dead and gone and miss the whole thing.

Simon Pegg's one of the writers on next summer's movie, so there's some light at the end of the Jefferies tube.
