First step in right direction. I'm ok with this.

I bet he has a huge boner for this right now. It's like going from the minors (Star Trek) to the majors.

I loved his Stark Trek, lens glare and all, so I'm fine with this.

Are Trekkies mad about this?

Star Trek > Star Wars

I'm going to go to his summer home and beg for a cameo, Cartman style.

Predictable but exciting choice.

Is he going to also direct B5 and Stargate reboots as well?

It'll be interesting to see where this goes to say the least. Still would rather he throw his efforts behind a Star Trek TV series as that is where Trek has always shined, but it'll at least be fun to see how he manages to keep it Different Enough from his Star Trek films.

I'm totally okay with repurposing the site as absolutepunkandstarwars.net.

Really though, this is awesome. Abrams has been involved in some of my favorite sci-fi projects in recent years.
