Interesting comments, considering I just recently read an inveriew with Abrams where he spoke about making a 'serious' movie in a post GQ world.

edit: Found the source.

For me, the costumes were a microcosm of the entire project, which was how to take something that’s kind of silly and make it feel real. But how do you make legitimate those near-primary colour costumes? How do you make legitimate the pointy ears and the bowl haircut? It’s ridiculous and as potentially cliched as it gets. How do you watch Galaxy Quest and then go make a Star Trek movie?
