the new star trek was pretty alright, not quite as cheese nuts as the original ones. Hopefully he will put out some credible Jedi movies...we deserve them sorely...Just looked up his bio and apparently he was also involved in LOST. that worries me a bit.

JJ gets too much credit for LOST. He was really just involved in the Pilot, and not much after that. He wasn't really creatively involved past the Pilot, and its clear he had no clue what the frick he was doing and just decided to make it balls to the walls awesome and have other people worry about the technicalities of the show later.

Can't fault JJ for LOST. That train wreck was the result of Damien Lindenlof and Carlton Cuse. (sp?). I should have known LOST was screwed when I learned the guy who brought us Brisco County Jr was in charge.
