New Star Trek Trailer
roelbj writes "The full trailer to the next Star Trek movie is now available at the movie's official web site. The upcoming J.J. Abrams-helmed installment represents a changing of the guard, a reboot of the franchise, and a return to the original-series crew. It should prove interesting to see how Abrams' writing staff (Cloverfield, Lost, Alias) tackles the Star Trek universe and all the continuity and baggage that comes with it."
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
I fear something terrible has happened.
Let's hope Kirk teaches him a lesson with the business end of a federation light saber!
No silly, it's about watches.
Quis custodiet ipsos chronos?
If you get all the episode 1 trailers every released, you can edit them together to produce the complete film.
I still think the best continuation of the Star Trek Universe is Boston Legal. It's got Kirk and Odo and Quark and even Seven of Nine a couple of years back.
Some mornings it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints to get out of bed.
Oh boy.
No, no, no... you got it all wrong... you're supposed to save "Quantum Leap" references for discussions about "Enterprise"...
Bow-ties are cool.
commander "horndog" riker
Except near the end he looked more like, "I ate a few dozen too many corndogs" Riker, with that synthahol gutt he had going.

I thought that the film's ---GO BACK--- slogan and logo (with the "zing" through it) was intriguing - but then I realised that it was just a site navigation button.

Minus a few Jar Jar bits. Hmm. That actually sounds like an improvement....
Check out my sci-fi/humor trilogy at PatriotsBooks.
In Aeonite's defense, he did try to find an alternative to using a reference from another space movie. Honest. I actually saw him out combing the desert.
I noticed something wrong too: if you watch the trailer closely, you'll notice that it looks like this movie is shit.
sic transit gloria mundi
The new James T. Kirk better be sleeping with ANY female in his vicinity just like the old one did!!!
NOT TO MENTION..... HIS... OVER.. ACTING.... SKILLS....
I remember Kirk seemingly slept with a new woman nearly every episode including that green alien chic... (Capt. Picard was far too celibate)
I want a Kirk character that leaves today's generation of 'sensitive' weenie men saying: "Wow, That's a man's man!" (Just look at what has sadly happened to Bond over the years...)
Scotty's a descendant of Red Green, eh?
The next star trek film is going to be written by some of the very worst writers the TV industry has ever seen?
StarGate writers need jobs, too!
I drank what? -- Socrates
Let's hope Spock doesn't go on a rampage, opening up aliens heads with his finger to steal their psychic powers.
Not if they're yours.

First we have the unfortunate case of James T. Kirk. As we all know, Kirk is the youngest ever graduate of Starfleet, and has been used, intensively, in all our promotional materials for the last three months. Unfortunately, it seems that our Mr Kirk was not all that he seemed. As you know, Kirk managed a perfect score in what was supposed to be an unwinnable simulation, by hacking the computer. What you don't know is that a subsequent investigation revealed that Mr Kirk also passed all his other assessments, including his psychological assessments, the same way. His actual scores show Kirk to be emotionally unstable, over-excitable, prone to megalomania and paranoia, and he appears to have an obsession with knives and "fucking green pontang". He even lied about his name, his middle name isn't Tiberius, it's Timothy. He's a fraud, and a complete liability to Starfleet.
This brings us to problem number two. Spock. As we all know, Mr's Spock's mixed-blood heritage is regarded as an affront both to conservative Vulcan society and to right-wing Earthers. He doesn't "fit in" in either society, which is why his father decided to put him into Starfleet in the first place. Spock has limited social skills that make him a liability as a crew member. He was befriended by Kirk for his computer expertise, and now he ought to be facing criminal charges alongside Kirk. Needless to say, the prosecution of the "mixed-species" son of the Vulcan Ambassador would be deeply embarrassing, and would play into the hands of separatist elements on both sides. We can't afford to let this happen.
This brings us to problem number three, the USS Enterprise. ... detritus was discovered at the bottom of a Jeffries tube. Broken glassware. Specifically, broken whisky bottles. It now appears that the Supervising Engineer originally in charge of the Enterprise's construction, Scott, was suffering from intermittent alcoholic blackouts during construction, and was systematically falsifying the engineering certification paperwork. I'm afraid that the Enterprise cannot now be considered safe for further deployment.
Four weeks ago, in EarthDock, in a standard post-mission checkup, a pile of
Along with these three disasters, we also have a number of more minor personnel problems, for example, one Doctor McCoy, who killed fourteen people in Starfleet Medical last year. McCoy had a breakdown a few weeks after disconnecting his father's life-support systems, and ran amok in the intensive care ward, screaming "I'm a murderer not a doctor!", and pulled twenty plugs before someone stopped him. Only six survived. Do I see some murmurs of recognition? Yes, we managed to keep the "Killer McCoy" episode out of the press, but I see that some rumours have managed to spread through the ranks, nevertheless. McCoy has responded to therapy, and is declared fully rehabilitated, but he still has a tendency to repeat his psychologist's assigned mantra "I'm a doctor, not a murderer" under times of stress, and we don't quite know where to put him. Too many people have heard the rumours. We also have a certain Officer Uhura, who ... I see some of us around the table are blushing ... seems to have taken her training as "communications specialist" rather too much to heart, and seems to have been "communicating" with rather too many higher members of the command structure, with the obvious attendant security implications. We've also scraped together a list of other minor "problem" personnel. You each have a copy in the folder in front of you. None of those folders will leave this room.
Now, my proposed solution is to solve all these

Ah, yes. The McCain strategy. And we see how well that worked out for him.
Carthago delenda est!
Great, another movie with Sylar.
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
You must have missed the memo. The new term is "nuked the fridge".
Eh, gangsters in space or Nazis in space. It's easy to get them confused. (Actually, I loved both episodes.)
I agree, except whoa, jebus, can't they do something about how f***ing depressing the series has become? Part of me can't wait for the last few episodes to air, and the other part is afraid I'll slit my wrists after viewing a couple.
Nah. Zachary Quinto will do fine as a Vulcan.
But they need to cast Hayden Christensen as one too. Since he shows no emotions on screen anyway, he's a natural! See Jumper. It's still true.

If only they fired that cameraman with Parkinson's and that editor with ADHD.
Equal opportunity employment is all fine, but really... SOME jobs require a steady hand and a bit of concentration.
I gave up BSG at about half way through season two cause my head was starting to hurt.
