My things were an honor student at Hayden Christensen Middle School...

wait.. what were we talking about again?

Oh yea... that Star Wars was a house of cards from day one that only became weaker with each additional film... Well, except for maybe Empire... I suppose that was good... a fucking muppet was turned into a convincing dramatic character for cryin out loud.... but really... the whole Star Wars thing is really only 200 or so minutes of good movies surrounded by incalculable amounts of horseshit. 

As far as Trek... that shit had bottomed out. The Next Generation / DS9 / Voyager / lameasswhateverelse was a cul de sac... only option was a reboot with Kirk and Spock and Bones while those characters still had some cache... and I thought it generally worked... in spite of annoying lens flare and the lame villain.

'Star Trek' Sequel Nabs 'War Horse' Actor Benedict Cumberbatch

QuoteThe star of the BBC's "Sherlock" will likely play the main villain in J.J. Abrams' film for Paramount.

Benedict Cumberbatch, who can currently be seen in theaters in Steven Spielberg's War Horse, has nabbed a major role in J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek sequel for Paramount.

Although sources would not comment on the character and Abrams keeping story details close to the vest, it is believed that Cumberbatch will play the movie's villain.

The cast of the 2009 Trek movie (including Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto) is returning for the sequel, which will be shot in 3D and released by Paramount. The script is written by Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

Cumberbatch is clearly having a moment. The actor, who stars as Sherlock Holmes in BBC's Sherlock, is also on screens with Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and is voicing the characters of Smaug the dragon and the Nercomancer in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit.

Oh hell yeah. I'll take the Batch over Benicio any day. This could be awesome.

BATCH!!!

I quite agree. The BBC Sherlock Holmes is FAR more credible and more interesting to watch than the shitty-ass Robert Downey the fabric softener bear movies.
