Ta-Nehisi's geek pass is revoked

Yeah. I'm just not that excited about J.J. Abrams's Star Trek. I mean him no disrespect, and it isn't even about him. It's about the whole direction of Hollywood when they take on these sorts of things. Count on more explosions and more special effects. It's what the people love. But, frankly, when I watch something like the current season of Mad Men, I have no idea how anyone in the business of telling stories makes it through the day. You may think it's apples and oranges. But it's all storytelling, and that's all I'm really in it for. So I think I'll act my age, stay home and watch First Contact again. The Borg rule.
