MODERATORS
Let me guess: a number of seasons so we can finally have a glimpse of a beginning of an answer to the question that was asked in the first episode.
Is JJ Abrams involved as well?
Yes, but will they be able to capture the true narrative complexity of asking a desk toy to provide randomized platitudes and admonisitions? How can they please the built-in hardcore fans without alienating the newcomers who don't have an encyclopedic understanding of the extensive lore? Will they tackle some of the more problematic canon events that have aged poorly in a more enlightened society? Or will they gloss over those moments and modernize the deep mythology on which the intellectual property is based and risk abandoning the edge that made it popular in the first place?
Concentrate and ask again
Fuck.
Magic 8 Ball, with this show suck?
"Yes"
