   Robert Meyer Burnett, who worked on the remastered Star Trek TNG Blu-Rays:

   > For me, as a Star Trek fan, the imagination and the thought that was on display in [Star Trek: The Motion Picture] – of the Star Trek universe itself – was wondrous [ . . . ]

   > The greatest thing about [Abrams Star Trek] – I will say this – it made a lot of money, it brought the franchise back from the dead, and now new Star Trek is viable and lucrative; people are going back and rediscovering the original show, which is really the most important thing. I just wish it were a lot more intelligent.

   Longer quotes:

   > As a life-long Star Trek fan [ . . . ] when Star Trek: The Motion Picture came out and I saw the design of the new Enterprise, which you could tell was bad-ass, it was souped up, but it all made sense. [ . . . ]
   > But when you saw the interior – this is what blew my mind the most – [ . . . ] when you saw that, you realized that the entire internal makeup, the internal design of the Enterprise had been incredibly well thought out. You looked and that and just thought, “Oh my god!” [ . . . ]
   > For me, as a Star Trek fan, the imagination and the thought that was on display in that movie – of the Star Trek universe itself – was wondrous.

   > One of the things about the Abrams Star Trek that irked me to no end is how they just haphazardly put into that movie whatever they particularly wanted. [ . . . ]
   > I’m sorry, but the Starship Enterprise was simply not built on a planet. It just wasn’t. [ . . . ]
   > The greatest thing about it – I will say this – it made a lot of money, it brought the franchise back from the dead, and now new Star Trek is viable and lucrative; people are going back and rediscovering the original show, which is really the most important thing. I just wish it were a lot more intelligent.

      I'm also bummed that ships that clearly weren't meant to be used deep in a gravity well are. Voyager was built for landing and takeoff. The bigger ones should just stay in orbit and interstellar space. Stahp.

      I enjoyed 2009, it had fun stuff, good acting, in particular Quinto, but the space drill thing ... didn't see Into Darkness and I don't know if I will. I'm considering it. Beyond was fun but I don't remember the story.

      I agree that if they revitalized interest in Star Trek it was all worth it. Blessed SNW is here.
