By all mean you can have your opinion that is based *purely* on speculation,
hell you could think the moon is made of cheese, because there has been NO
information released about Trek11 except for a cast list and a trailer that
has nothing in it. I don't think one way or the other about JJ, although if
track records were anything to go on his MI3 was miles ahead of steaming
dung that was MI1. (but still not anything I'd go out of my way to watch
again)
I prefer to base my opinions on fact rather than the ratings of fanbois, or
movie critics who haven't even seen what they are spouting off about. Then
again, I'm also one of them who enjoyed ST5 purely for the "Big 3" moments,
thought TNG had it's moments, liked DS9 (season 3-7) hated Voyager and very
much like season 4 of Enterprise.
