I've been working on my DCAU Timeline. All the live-long day.

My brain is hurting since it is MUCH more expansive than the last one. I plan to cover every DCAU episode and cartoon ever so it is MUCH bigger. I should have it finished the day after Brainiac Attacks is released as I need to find out if it will fit into continuity. I couldn't find a logical place for Teen Titans so I'm not including it.

I need a new DCAU series. It can't end with JLU. I also need a new Buffyverse series but no-one is listening to that either. I am about to become a man without a fandom and a Trekkie prequel movie is not going to cut it.

And is it just me or does Ultimate Avengers the movie suck? Secret Origins was WAAAAAYY better and that sucked worse than an automatic sucking machine.

Dear J.J. Abrams...

You're not helping.

Bite me,
Matt.

"Abrams Reviving Trek

Paramount has hired Mission: Impossible III director J.J. Abrams to write, direct and produce the 11th Star Trek feature film, aiming for a 2008 release, Variety reported. Damon Lindelof, who co-created Lost with Abrams, and Bryan Burk, who produces Lost, have also been tapped to produce the yet-to-be-titled feature.

The project will be co-written by Mission: Impossible III scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. It will center on the early days of original Trek characters James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and first space mission, the trade paper reported.

The deal reflects the studio's bullishness on Mission: Impossible III, which launches worldwide next weekend, and underlines the goal of Paramount heads Brad Grey Gail Berman to re-energize the pipeline via high-profile tentpoles, while revitalizing the Paramount brand with top-tier talent such as Abrams, the trade paper reported.

The decision to relaunch Star Trek comes less than a year after UPN pulled the plug on Star Trek: Enterprise amid dismal ratings following a four-season run, and four years after Star Trek: Nemesis turned in the worst performance of the 10 films, earning just $43 million at the box office. "

Stewie emailed me about this yesterday but I didn't know exactly how to express my disgust. I HATE prequels and am personally sick to death of them. I'm glad it's a prequel instead of a total reboot but stories should move forwards and not backwards. The thing that really ticks me off is that this will probably mean death for the proposed movie featuring Kirk, Spock, Picard and many of the sequel series cast members.

Seriously, Patrick Stewart, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy aren't getting any younger and I would rather see them again one last time along with the TNG and DS9 casts than a Hayden Christensen pretty boy emoing up the joint.

I'm sick of this crap. Even when they get rid of Berman and Braga and put someone decent in charge Paramount refuses to let Star Trek stop sucking.
