I'm keeping an open mind and like Will, am cautiously optimistic. I like JJ Abrahms work and based on an interview with the Writers in Wired Magazine, it's in good hands.

If Paramount is unwilling to put together the best of the original production teams (for whatever stupid reasons) by all means let's start fresh.

The only element I'm struggling with is how young the cast is. I'm used to Trek crews being stately and experienced. I want Kirk's cockiness to have been earned and not just a factor of youth. This is the angle I really hope the producers have a handle on.

I'm now limiting how much I read about the movie ahead of time so I don't build up unreasonable expectations and it isn't too spoiled.

That said, here's the Wired interview with the writers: http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2008...rek-write.html
