He says a lot of things that rub me the wrong way, like that mystery is better than knowledge. Maybe in drama, but not in reality. And not putting gun up Tom Cruise's nose is the last nail on the coffin; if you can't act with discomfort, you can't act. I'm not going to go see Abrams' Star Trek XI. He may have his ideas of the characters, but I don't like his blatant dislike of science.
what are you ... ( 1 month ago by justforwatchingcraps)
what are you talking about? none of this says anything about his feelings towards science and what does tom cruise's ability to act have to do with his ability to direct? if anything this whole idea of mystery, to me, is exactly what science is about. what we already know is nowhere near as exciting as what we have yet to discover. the mystery is the appeal and the driving force, absolutely. its like ur trying as hard as u can to be offended.

J.J. Abrams isn't responsible for the show's whereabouts right now. I love the show, but if you're going to blame some one, its Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse (headrunners of the show) I personally think the direction of the show is amazing. But ya know.

Hi LSnicket4 I wrote that comment a long time ago.. at the time I did not know the JJ Abrams was not involved in Lost anymore.. Love J J Abrams, love that he adds action and romance to most of his stuff. My favorite of his movies is Forvever Young. I wrote that comment after seeing season 4.. I was upset at some of the things that happened in it and so were a lot of my friends.
