That's probably the best possible explanation for it -- I admit it's probably effective, but I'm glad he understands it might be a touch overdone. (I can't stop thinking of Homer Simpson editing a Ned Flanders available-bachelor tape and using nothing but star-wipes....) When he tells an entire story, I'm impressed with what he can do -- some of his work (I'm looking at you, Lost) falters when it doesn't have a strong narrative spine. But I never got bored with Star Trek -- it moves along at an impressive clip and it holds together well, so score one for JJ.
