That's what concerns me.
These loyal Trek fans may decide to boycott the movie, NOT because it's
bad, but because it's good.
Because it's so good that it will be a big hit.
And then Paramount may decide to move the entire franchise in that
direction, maybe even a TV series that picks up where the movie left off.
And that has to be prevented, because it's such a departure from TOS.
