He's the man with the Midas touch, at least in TV terms.

But after Alias, Lost and Cloverfield (and Felicity actually if you ever saw that) I was genuinely worried that geek's geek J J Abrams might have bitten off more than he could chew with the Star Trek reboot movie.

I consider myself a Trekker from the less rabid end of the spectrum (I've certainly never dressed up as a Klingon) but when it was announced he was at the helm of the new movie and that he wasn't really a fan I was very dubious indeed. The casting of Zach Quinto as Spock and Simon Pegg as Scottie alleviated my concerns a smidgen, but the news the whole caboodle was being pushed back from its New Year release day to May did leave me feeling a little concerned.

But reading this account of the screening of four scenes from the new movie this morning has left me full of the joys again.

Beware if you don't want to be spoiled, but I couldn't resist a look and the humour and action of the scenes as described have left me very hopeful about where we go from here.

And let's face it, reading about those four scenes brought more joy into my life than four whole seasons of Enterprise...
