Well, they're a lot better than the original DVD's menus, I'd say.

It will fit the show once they get all the sound effects from the ship rolling.

Low tech menus for a generally low tech show. =)

As long as I can skip the opening animations I'll be happy.

Yes Paramount - nothing will sale more copies than insulting the fan base. Talk about cringe-worthy.

I don't know. I wasn't insulted. I actually found it kind of amusing, and an affectionate throw-back to the days when the show was still "new."

Most amusing pairing of lines from different episodes:

Uhura: "Why don't you tell me I'm an attractive young lady?"

McCoy: "Are you insane?!?"

'Sides - it's not like they made the show cheesy by editing it like that. Face it, as cool as old school trek is, there's a healthy dose of cheese to go with it.

That's part of the charm. Mini-skirts, lines like "EYEEEEEE'm Cap-TAIN KirrrrK!" and really bad special effects - hoaky but we love it.

(Fact - that's one of the big things that newer trek badly needs. Lets get a captain who talks with his fists and his diplomatic relations consist mostly of his love making. This talk the enemies to death crap in next gen and beyond is BOOOOR-ing.)

I agree, the intentional and unintentional humor in this show is a big part of it's charm, the trailer is just cashing in on that. The other shows always took themselves a little too seriously IMO. There are other reasons why this show is still entertaining to me today, but I think anyone insulted by the trailer has their Klingon headdress glued on a little too tight.

I've been a huge fan of TOS since I caught reruns as a kid and I thought that was great! Not the usual boring ad I'd expect. It captured the fun, adventurous, vibrant spirit of the show.

If those turn out to be the menus and we get classic bridge sounds, then

Great teaser! Great menus! Great show! I can't wait for the set! For YEARS, I've held off buying it on VHS... and on DVD. But now it looks like it is the perfect time to do it.
