Not long after former Captain Kirk William Shatner had a pop at Abrams and his acquisition of two of the biggest sci-fi franchises of all time, we have another formeralumnus voicing some displeasure. This time it's formercrew member Geordie La Foerge, aka LeVar Burton.said Burton.But the actor - who appeared at Creation Entertainment’s Grand Slam Convention: The Stark Trek and Sci-Fi Summit, alongside fellow ‘Next Gen’ stars Sir Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner - followed that up with a bit of criticism.. Well, the thing is I'm not sure the new timeline DOES leave no room for. I mean yeah, The Romulans and "classic" Spock travel back from a future where the events ofare supposed to take place and they are not mentioned, but does that mean they don't exist? What do you guys think? Does Burton have a point or could this be more a case of sour grapes for not being asked to be involved?
