Star Trek: Space, the final frontier...

Well, J.J. Abrams, the creator of Lost, is in the middle of shooting this, the eleventh Star Trek movie. You know, he was honestly more of a Star Wars kid than a Star Trek kid, but he still loves this series. He's doing everything possible to save the franchise. And we may not have the old Captain Kirk, William Shatner, but we still have the old Mr. Spock, Leonard Nimoy, returning to the fold. Conclusion: It was logical for him to be a part of this movie.
