That is a great pic of the new Spock character, better than I expected, is that biggest pic they offer? It would be great to make a desktop wallpaper with it. “That said, the uniforms and set colors from “Where No Man Has Gone Before” are very respectable and serious looking. ”

Thats too bad, those were great uniforms, especially the field jackets worn by Pike’s away team, ahead of its time. And what about Spocks eyebrows then? Very alien…

That is a great pic of the new Spock character, better than I expected, is that biggest pic they offer? It would be great to make a desktop wallpaper with it.

Kuvagh - September 29, 2007 I think you are correct. A good balance between what we consider contemporary and what is considered campy (a vital element of classic trek) would be best. Now, the possibilities... 1) A "Where No Man has gone Before" look with upgraded technology. Something spectacular that might make one think that the 1960s Trek was sort of a blur... There was lots of stuff in WNMHGB we did not see. There are the liberties that can be taken. This can be done in respecting canon. 2) Some more complicated story taking place between the Corbomite Manuever and the Man Trap involving Spock. It is in these episodes that Spock is not yet a developed character. Spock takes off as a character a bit later, what a better story than to focus on some element of Spock's life. Or maybe some adventure invoving the Trio, Spock, McCoy and Kirk. In terms of Trek McCoy is quite untouched. We are alluded to his back story from production notes and a few "in the present stories" and that he became an Admiral. Aside from that McCoy, the most passionate of the three, is untouched (ST:V aside, because we get little about what McCoy's relationship was to his father) Any such story about the TRIUMVIRATE woudl feature these actors very profoundly.

I don't think it's very likely that we'll see the pilot uniforms in this movie... even though they're more forward-thinking, serious and textural than the standard TOS uniform. I think they're going to want to sell this movie as the recognizable, colorful, retro Trek which everyone knows. The public will respond to what they know. They'll buy the tickets for camp. The bright side is that this will spare us a total visual reboot. The Trek fans get authentic 23rd century design and the public gets camp in one stroke. That said, the uniforms and set colors from "Where No Man Has Gone Before" are very respectable and serious looking. Putting them through a very minimal upgrade would result in an astonishingly contemporary look. Nevertheless, I think you'll have to be content with the notion that there were two uniform types in service for a little while, ala Generations, or some other rationalization. Also, when I say the public will get camp... that's not all they're going to get. They're going to get something touching and thought provoking, too. At least, that's what I hope. Trek working on "all cylinders." 15: Sorry, Yoda.

If you don't agree, just check out a side on picture of LN young and old. You'll see what I mean... I understand your point, but if all we have to worry about is lower ear shape, then I think we are in good hands. #3
