It’s really surprising how little we’re seeing from the production of this movie, and even more surprising how few rumors have surfaced thus far.

Paramount really IS keeping a tight lid on this thing.

#136 – I used to be able to pretty much explain anything in Star Trek (I was even able to explain the TNG episode “Genesis”) but I could not do it with Voyager (Warp 10 salamanders back to people) and with Enterprise I got to where I didn’t care (Porthos with lizard pituitary gland, bitter beer face grumpy Vulcans, and @#$& temporal cold war).
Star Trek Zero is just a reboot/reimagining/whatever.

Looks neat, if nothing else. I’d dispute that the suit looks like the TOS one re-designed, but it’s close enough :)

I wonder if they’re going to remember that Sulu was the Enterprise’s Physicist before he was the helm officer? I doubt it, but that’s what we saw in ‘Where No Man Has Gone Before’.

As for the insignia, during ENT, TOS/TAS and the first film (TMP), all ships/bases/posting had their own badge. We had:

ENT:
Enterprise – 2D picture of ship with name
Columbia – 3D picture of ship with name, registry and motto
Intrepid – a circle/starburst with name and motto
Starfleet Command – a stylized arrowhead with name
Cold Station 12 – a snowflake with name
Earth Ambassy, Vulcan – a picture of the Earth with diplomatic corps name
Sol Security – three interlinked yellow shapes plus name

TOS/TAS:
USS Enterprise – an arrowhead
USS Defiant – a chevron
USS Constellation – a strange ‘pretzel’ shape
USS Exeter – a horizontal rectangle with ‘bolts’ along it
USS Antares – a circle with a spiral-part in it
USS Huron – a rounded-off arrowhead with two extra ‘arms’
Starfleet Command – a ’starburst’, flower-like shape
Earth Outpost 4 – an oval with a thick black outline
Outpost Cestus III – similar to above, only without the black outline

TMP:
Station Epsilon IX – a triangle with a radar dish inside

Sulu’s (Cho) suit looks similar to the ones in Andrew Probert’s newest work for the Ships of the Line Calendar. See: http://probertdesigns.com/Folder_ILLUSTRATION/Probert_ILLUSTRATIONS.html

I think people would laugh if the EVA suit looked exactly like The Tholian Web. Let’s be honest with ourselves, guys.

#137–Then we’ll put it in the “Trek turd” category with STV.

Canon people. I have a challenge… Try to explain this whole movie using canon… Its going to leave a bitter-sweet taste in your mouth, but you just might grow to like it! I could all fit, just not in the traditional sense.

I Agree… This movie is going to ROCK!
