That would be Bruce Greenwood

there better be a shower scene

Ah. Well then now my inner canon-fanatic is satisfied.

I'm sure they'll make plenty of changes. I don't know. Most of what I know about Trek comes from my parents anyway. It's not that I don't like Sci Fi, but I've been more of the B5/Farscape/Stargate Type. The movie looks like it could be cool, though. I've always liked mostof the Trek ship designs, too.

I liked the movies more than the original series, though. Or TNG, for that matter.

And Sarek's doing to voice over during the Spock segment. He mentions destiny when he's talking, which kind of upsets me because destiny is a human term. And Vulcan's don't believe in destiny. But whatever I don't think anyone else will notice.

Better quality.

I dunno, that grated me too slightly, but I think that's because I'm pretty wary about the new treatment of Spock's family history. There was talk a while back that they were going to make Amanda Grayson a Vulcan, too.

As far as I'm aware they haven't followed through on it, since that would completely remove the entire tragic/character-defining duality of Spock's nature, but I'm nonetheless wary about what they're gonna do to my (and arguably, everyone's) favourite Vulcan.

(although Tuvok is a close second :heart:</>)

His Mom's still human. And judging from the trailer, they're focusing on that quite a bit. However Kirk's storyline is completely new, so that's where they've got me nervous.

Oh, thank God for that. It wouldn't make any sense for Spock to be full Vulcan; it destroys what makes him awesome.

Kirk I'm a little worried about, honestly. I hope they don't ignore the Tarsus IV massacres (even if you don't see them a reference would be nice) and the fact that he wasn't on Earth again until just before he joined Starfleet. Plus, if these are indeed the Academy days, what of people like Mallory, Finnegan, and Ben Finney and Gary Mitchell? The Kobiyashi Maru incident? Remnants of the "old" story? Or characters and events that'll make an appearance in new Kirk's time at the Academy?

I won't mind so much if they retcon it so that Pike never captained the Enterprise specifically and is just an Academy mentor or another ship's captain or what have you. That still works for me. I am just glad he is in there. But there is significant time spent in TOS discussing Kirk's Academy days, so if they do not fan service at least a couple of those events, I am gonna be a little upset.

Not "I won't ever watch this movie again" upset, but a part of me will be a little disappointed.

I'm not in on all the specifics, however I do know that they do address the Kobiyashi Maru, either talking about it or it happening in the movie. Which I would love. I also know Kirk takes over for Pike, so Pike does command the Enterprise in the movie. He's the one that yells out "Fire all weapons" in the trailer.

So, at least two good things confirmed. :y:

Sweet. Yes. This is sounding better the more I hear.

That's pretty much all the information there is derived from the trailer.

Are they gunna have a scene where Kirk and Scottie and Sulu are kids and Kirk and Scottie wanna go play football, but Sulu wants to go play hop scotch?

Hopefully, only time will tell. But I'm hoping Sulu bangs a dude before the films over.

Updated, includes old Spock.

When I found out Simon Pegg was Scotty, I was like 'what's going on here' in a this might be very strange but funny kinda way.

This film can't be worse than Nemesis, which Film4 always seems to be showing. Show First Contact for fucksake.

Man, Nimoy did not age well. I mean, Shatner got all doughy, sure, but Leonard looks like a freaking skeleton.

Im sure it will be a cool movie. But if your a trek geek who wants everything to stand by cannon then you probably be a bit pissed of by it!

I get the feeling its going to get the same after treatment as 'kingdom of the crystal skull' though.

btw, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

never been a trekkie, as i thought Star Wars ruled. I am a Syler Mark, and he has the whole tourtured outcast thing down pat! I will plunk down my ten bucks for this one.

Resisting temptation to squeal like a little girl...

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD...THAT LOOKS AMAZING.

That looks pretty bad ass to me. I got a bit of a shiver whilst watching it. :shifty:

Therefore it will probably suck. Though, it can't be worse than the last couple of Star Trek films.

That looks awesome. As a jaded Trekkie (largely due to Insurrection), this trailer has totally restored my hopes for the franchise.

Looks like they have the old Original Series uniforms. cool.

Trailer looked pretty awesome atthe theaters last night. A bit thrown togerther and not completely understood, but yeah.

Terminator trailer looked really good. Really good.

That trailer looks absolutely brilliant, I can't wait for this to come out now.

The music is awesomely epic as well - shame it's turned out to be trailer music rather than music from the film itself. :(

In the trailer it looks like Kirk takes over for Pike. he sits in the captain's chair and assumes leadership. I have never been a Star Trek fan. I always thought it was way too nerdy and the series always bored me. I did like Worf though, which won't be in this on because that's Next Generation. My friend John is really into it so I know characters from him. Zachary Quinto looks dead on as Spock though. I might check this out, though it is Star Trek so I'll see when the time comes. I am not looking forward to Terminator either. T2 is the best Terminator as well as being one of the best movies ever in my opinion. I liked T3 as well, but this one has not Arnold and I am not a huge Christian Bale fan. It just doesn't seem like Terminator without Arnold.

If you are thinking about seeing this movie, you ought to be checking out the prequel comic books. Very interesting read.

i'm 34 years old. i never liked Star Trek as a kid and have never liked it since. and i've never cared for the Star Trek movies either. now, having been on the planet for a few decades, i have come to know what to expect from Star Trek movies. and i must say, that this trailer looks interesting. it looks like they're taking Star Trek into a new direction, and that's a good thing. unfortunately, if this movie turns out to be really good - they will shit out a bunch of limp sequels as soon as possible.

Definitely check out the prequel comics. The set of 4 is coming out next week.

Personally pumped for this too:

As for Start Trek.... I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT!

I didn't mind Enterprise once Manny Coto was one of the main men on the production staff. So hopefully, Star Trek will be back with a new series.

I'd personally love Titan to be involved with Riker and Tuvok (I know that ain't Canon, but a great starting point as we already know 2 crew members).

Or my fave idea was DS9 again, they could of kept that going on and on. It was so diff to all other ST series. With the addition of the defiant and Gamma quadrant, it was just an immense space to play with for the writing crew.


Or, another idea would be with Michael Shanks as captain. Personally, i thought it was such a good idea, he's well known and liked in SCI-FI circles to be given a chance

http://www.tpww.net/forums/picture.p...&pictureid=295

As much as I love DS9. It's done, there's nothing more they can do with it with the Dominion War over. And they can't really explore the Gamma Quadrant anymore, as they said numerous times in the show that the Dominion controls just about all of it.

Sure, they could always do a 2 hour TV movie about Sisko and Odo coming back, with a story about the Cardasians having problems rebuilding there government after the war. But it's been like 11 years since the show ended so doubt we'll ever see DS9 again other then being mentioned.

I agree, I was rather leaning toward they shouldn't have stopped it at the 7 seasons rule. I enjoyed just as many episodes based on DSP or when some delegates were coming from Romulus, Ferenginar, Kronos or Earth. Couple that with Section 31, Vic Fontaine and Odo and Quark being an entire story in themselves, being a devious little shit hiding from the cop etc. Awesome stuff.
