What most people cant seem to grasp is that both of the Roddenberry's are gone and no longer involved with the current batch of films. They will never be like the original series or even the past television series, we have to accept that.

What I would like to see though is a little more maturity in the film series and better use of the story line and characters involved. Better writers and especially those that can write true scifi would be a big plus for the series.

I agree. A movie is first of all ENTERTAINMENT. “District 9″ was good in spite of its preaching not because of it. It told a story and did that very well. No retreads of old “Star Trek” plots either. When the first movie with the old series characters came out it was a “Vejer” all over again.
Oh, and no more artsy fartsy lens flares. Gave me a headache.

I like Star Trek, I don't mind the preachyness of the original series or even the movies, but if we are going to play politically biased games with this franchise then maybe it would be best if it were dead and well remembered. Don't take the lessons learned from District 9's success, ignore what mad it that way and turn the next Trek into a left wing or even a right wing party propaganda piece. This is escapism after all, we get enough of the battling parties in our everyday lives, leave the biased propaganda to the likes of Michael Moore.

ugh. Sounds like shit. “Hey everyone loved how light hearted and fun our first movie was so in sticking with that lets talk about race, torture and how real life sucks dicks all the time.”

No thanks. More explosions. More hot girls. More kicking of ass. Torture has been done to death (zing!) already. Let's not put 24 in space, ok? What other modern topic can they deal with? We're talking about a UNITED EARTH, not a United States. We're also focusing on its Military, not its civilian population. Racism? PLEASE they fuck aliens. That is the zenith of tolerance.

This is not the 1960s. More action and war with Klingons and less political stuff.

Yeah, unlike the first movie that didnt have enough holes in the story to fly the Enterprise thru. I have complete confidance that they will be as consistant as they were with the last movie.

I just hope, like you mentioned, that they don't try and hit you outside your head with the moral/modern conflict.
