Starfleet seems to think we’re ready to begin our mission.

So says Captain Jonathon Archer in tonight’s premiere episode of Enterprise. Wow, I am so excited, so psyched to see this. Early reports are very, very positive, saying the new series will recharge the energy of the Trek franchise. Look for a report tomorrow!

Another bit of good news: Paramount gave the green light to start production on Star Trek: Nemesis, the tenth Star Trek movie; expect it in theaters in about a year. Again, early reports on the script by Gladiator writer and lifelong Trek fan John Logan are very positive, with lots of strong action and characters. Stuart Baird (the very cool Kurt Russell flick Executive Decision and U.S. Marshalls) will be directing and Digital Domain (James Cameron’s company, which also handled Lord of the Rings and Titanic) will provide special effects.
