Cows as a security hazard and JJ Abrams on Star Wars
Club Jade — Bonnie scored yet another cool interview.  This time, she talks to JJ Abrams; he of Lost and Fringe and of another small series you might have heard about.  (Star Trek, people!  Not Felicity.) So apparently JJ found out that you can’t take cows across the border from Canada.  It had to have an American stand-in.  And he loves creating interactive websites that expand his shows. And as a long-time Star Wars fan, he had a really cool idea for StarWars.com:  how about an online Galactic Senate where fans ...

More Proof J. J. Abrams Doesn’t Get Star Trek
dashPunk — They launched the new Star Trek Movie site today, and it provided me with all the proof I need to see how little J. J. Abrams does not understand Star Trek at all. As you can see on the right, the story is that an egotist and a bunch of people who have never done anything that could be described as good or great have come together to overlay their vision onto a classic series that they have mistaken as nothing but a space adventure. I have talked at length about how little the new team seems to understand about the depth and ...

I see your Trek and make it relevant
Club Jade — A very interesting Q&A with JJ Abrams about the upcoming Star Trek movie. He’s still trying to find a way to explain how he’s going to keep the original fans happy while keeping casual moviegoers entertained. At least he appreciates that he’s never going to make the nitpickers happy.  There’s just a whole level of Trekdom that no one will ever win over unless The Great Bird rises again.  (And probably not even then.) Keep boldly going, JJ! via
