I originally thought Pine would be a dead on Kirk, but actually he looks nothing like him. Not even close.

It doesn’t matter at all to me, I can suspend my disbelief to enjoy the movie, and many films (Batman, Bond, etc.) have multiple actors playing the lead role, and it usually works.

But I am a bit surprised at how much he doesn’t look like Kirk.

Seek out new life and new civilizations

You know the rest

With everything that seems to take place in the new Trek film (ie; backstory origins, everyone meeting up, altered timeline plot, action, et all), I hope they did not omit this crucial, crucial element.

That would translate to disaster as far as I’m concerned.

So many ideas that go where? Romulan oil rigs on Vulcan? Did I read that right? I am still gonnna wait for something official before leetting go on these story descriptions.

Where is my Star Trek dude?

You don’t know that. You are making a wild guess with that statement based on your interpretation of what is being described.

All I know is this: If this movie captures the spirit, the essence of TOS and its characters and universe – - the SPIRIT and the ADVENTURE of it – - then I say we only benefit as fans of TOS and sci-fi entertainiment in general.

There is no – freaking – way these people can win (Abrams and crew) the Trek fanbase as a whole because everyone has different levels of expectation.

I am looking forward to the rebirth of this dying franchise and I, for one, am thankful they went with TOS in doing so.

It’s a much better shot of Quinto than the dipped-in-wax stills we’ve seen so far. Very cool.

#135. I am avoiding spoilers like the plague. Get behind me, etc. etc.

Nothing is as I believed it to be.

Thanks a lot JJ

I only hope he has the spirit of Roddenberry in the film as everything else has been tossed out the airlock.

Well JJ you got the mainstream audience but you are going to lose a lot of Trekkies with this.
