Star Trek is dead, let it rot.

Just watched the new Star Trek trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/startrek/

Looks like a decent, maybe even fun, sci-fi flick. 

But, IMO it has nothing in common with what Star Trek started out to be except for the names of the characters, and the ship.

Star Trek should have died with Roddenberry* but it will never rest in peace as long a some Hollywood Loser thinks they can squeeze a buck out of it.

The late 70's and the 80's had tons of sci-fi movies. Not all were great and not all were original but a lot of gems came out of that era. 

How about making some cool, NEW science fiction movies instead of endlessly rehashing the old stuff?

Maybe Cameron can pull it off with Avatar - we'll have to wait and see.

*for me ST died after Wrath of Khan, Roddenberry passed on much later than that.
