Jeeze, the person at MSNBC gave the kid the benefit of a possible lisp, though I don’t entirely see how that would result in T becoming S. But here you go, assuming that a MERE CHILD IN HOLLYWOOD is some sorta souse. (tuning in _TMZ_) Okay, you may have something there. ☹ ---

The return to the time travel bullshit fucks the movie for me - they used to be able to have plots without time travel. I liked Abram’s Cloverfield - he wanted a new monster movie. He didn’t stage Cloverfield as a rebooted Godzilla. He also didn’t stage Lost as a demented reboot of Gilligan’s Island. It sounds as if they started with some superficial uses of names, props and characters and then cranked out something utterly unrelated to Star Trek. When a franchise is spent, write something new. The sense I get with this is similar to a high school nerd stumbling into something cool, which is then stolen/co-opted by stupid jocks who then completely render it completely, vapidly, stupidly “cool.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-new-star-trek-movie-voids-tos-open-spoilers/495371.md?page=3)
