(fear not.. they can still slingshot around the Sun to go back in time and grab a pregnant whale and save the Earth someday, with a reborn Spock - He did too much LDS ya know...)

I hated that. You know in the original timeline Earth got destroyed right?

So people bitching about how their fucking up ST should shut up? I'm cool w/ that...finally something to stop their bitching (or continue irregardless). It's a good film so far from what they say...boo hoo.

Also.
"It's funny how people try to use the intentions of dead people whom they never met in an attempt to justify their opinions."
Wrong I have met him and a great many number of other trek related people. And you know as well as I do he'd be rolling over in his grave about this. But as others pointed out he was always at issue with what his vision was for it.
I'm not saying it won't be a good movie. That's not my point at all. From the sound of it , it's gonna be great. But is it Trek, I wonder.

Yeah, they after all, are only characters. But maybe it's just me, I never have much trouble distinguishing a person from a role.

"The many liberties Abrams takes with these iconic characters are bound to infuriate anal trekkies."

Don't be disheartened, Groucho. Now that Trek is reaching out to a new audience, we can expect to see people in these threads who don't even know the Reliant's prefix code.

I don't know what you nerds are talking about but the 'splosions in the trailer are enough for me.

The main issue I take is Captain Kirk was cool, and Abrams (from what I see in the teasers) turned him into a poser (on his motorcycle) and an abysmal attempt to make him cool, eg. the horrendous line he uses on Uhura, (paraphrasing from the teaser I saw last night,) "What's your name, I'm gonna guess, oh that's what I would have guessed." Hardy f'ing har. UGH...

Anyone who watched Lost tonight mind telling me exactly who the announcer said was the director? It certainly didn't sound like JJ Abrams. More like Jim Jebramson or something.

Broadcast Film Critics gives Star Trek 93/100. and its critic choice award.
For comparison, Slumdog millionaire got 92/100, and Dark Knight got 96/100

I rewinded it like three times: It didn't sound like JJ Abrams. Might be a different announcer depending on the time zone?
