SOMEWHERE out there, a diehard Star Trek fan is sticking pins into a doll that looks like J.J. Abrams.
When he agreed to direct the latest movie in the cult sci-fi franchise, Abrams inherited some of the most obsessed fans of the television age.
After six TV series and 10 movies, you can imagine that these fans would not be the easiest audience to please when it came time to make the 11th film.

The US$150-million (S$220-million) film opens in Singapore on Friday.
