Logan was not good enough a reason for you? Well, what about fullfilling their mission

1. Crossing the final frontier
2. to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilisations;

3. to boldly go where no man has gone before

without the limitations of a PG rating?

Now, pray tell me of one prime directive that stipulates why Star Trek should never be rated R?

Could you please be more specific about your reasoning?

And no: "Logan did it too" is not sufficient what so ever.

You seem to operate under the misconception that I suggested that Star Trek should be R-rated per se. I said: "For good or for bad, I would so much have preferred Quentin Tarentino's R-rated approach. This franchise needs a Logan".

That should already tell you everything. But to spell it out for you, I would have preferred a Tarantino ST film to a more conventional ST as QT might do the same with ST what J Mangold did for CBMs. Namely:

- Shake up the formulaic and stagnating franchise

- Bring in new character possibilities and dialogue

- Bring in more mature content and notions

- Create real stakes, finality and realism

to boldly go where no ST movie has gone before - for good or for worse.  Typically QT films are R-rated, be it for language, nudity and/or depiction of violence. If QT needs it for his ST too, like Mangold: fine with me, if he does not, fine too.

I'm not even a QT fan. But Christopher McQuarrie I asociate with JJ Abrams, and the latter's two Star Dreck Into Lens Flare cannot be made unseen.
