Guys.
I had over fifteen years of fan fiction before the first movie ever hit production. I've been around this franchise since I was ten years old - and guys? It's the big Four Six this November. That's thirty-six years of everything you can do with it.
I DO NOT NEED MORE KIRK SPOCK MCCOY. I don't. I don't.
You want to make a good show - get your own characters and go for it.
"Just like Coke, only better!"
Pepsi marketing, at its finest.
Enough already. These people are perfectly capable of doing Really Good Stuff all on their own. I don't need a film noir version (ala Battelstar Galactica) of Star Trek.
I don't. Really.
Give me something I haven't seen before. Please.
