I saw Kirk die and I made my peace with it. RIP.

I thought it was horrible. So did Shatner, so much so, that he brought Kirk back to life in a subsequent novel.

Let's face it: Star Trek's film history isn't the best. Khan, arguably the Whales, 6 and First Contact were all good to great films but everything else has been a big giant "meh".

If the next movie flops, Paramount will effectively kill the Star Trek brand for another decade, so they had better take their time, get it right and not worry about the 50th anniversary date.

The problem is, Paramount usually gets things wrong.
