Thinking about that shuttle craft again, didn't we see something fly by the Enterprise in the trailer as it was being built? I'm just taking a shot in the dark that that is the same type of "worker shuttle"

It transports workers back and forth to the construction of the big "E"

I'm not sure why so many seem to assume that the gray uniform top is supposed to be a Pike-era field jacket. I was just assuming it was one of the many gray uniforms we've seen before.

I wouldn't mind being proven wrong, of course.

well, I looked and I looked , but couldn't find a full picture of the jacket, just head shots, but if you go back and watch the cage or the menagerie you will see onee of the characters, i think is a yoemen wearing a jacket just like the one in the new pictures which has a delta shield on it just the same, since i couldn't find the picture i guess i can't prove you wrong , but i know i've seen it before

None of these outfits looks anything like any "Cage" uniforms except for the fact that some of them are grey.

It's too funny how a picture of a somewhat scratched up consol on a cargo shuttle has caused some of the cwazy fans to pronounce this entire movie a rip on the BSG/dystopia look and such nonsense.

Yes. A scratched-up consol. The future is truely a grim, horrible place. We've wiped out war, hunger, disease, and all that. But there is still grit. We have failed to make the future a better place. Our hope is gone. All our grand designs are shattered because the damn cargo pilot insisted on not wiping his feet. What kind of a crazy world is this where we can still get dirty. WHERE IS YOUR DAMNED VULCAN LOGIC NOW?

Nevermind that everyone is wearing brightly colored, unstained, unripped, like-new uniforms. Nevermind that the style of the shuttle is remarkably close to the style and spirit of TOS. Nevermind that we make ourselves sound like total weenies by even discussing this. Abrams = evil. Because...[insert whatever nonsense crap you want here]. Hasn't he heared? Only by repeating past failures again and again can we build a truely great society. Or movie, or whatever.

Didn't notice it before but this pic seems to be shot out of something that looks vaguely like a script. Is that possible?

There's no reason to say that other than just to say it.

I say it because it's true.

No, you say it because it's your opinion - there's a considerable difference, and you're in no more of a position to claim your opinion as fact as anyone else.

Abrams and co. and these so called fans want to turn Trek into whatever the flavor-of-the-month sci-fi show is trendy these instead of letting of Trek be Trek.

Can you point out which "flavour of the month" sci-fi shows you mean? Firefly was cancelled after a handful of episodes, and BSG became less popular over time, so you must mean some other shows that look like the new Trek and that have remained popular...?

That's the one thing we can never escape whether it be in the future or past..........grit

Damn you grit!!!

I would also like to point out that the way something looks on film is not how it looks on a daylight lit close-up shot by someone's digital camera. Movie sets often look very "fake" IRL and require lighting and production values to fully bring them to life.

"Flavor of the month..."

Considering that Star Trek hasn't been on the list of nifty new ice cream flavors in a long time, some how I have a hard time seeing that as being a bad thing.

Its a bit of an old flavor just made now with a gourmet flair.

That's it? That is what all the fuss is over?

Pardon me for saying it but....big deal...

I know.

I was just as surprised as you are.

Calm and collected reactions on a star trek board? HA!

It seems to be the only one of the set so framed, but it does pose an interesting question, doesn't it?

So far, what I'm seeing seems very faithful to the aesthetic of the TOS, with enough elements to provide a realistic sense that this is a prequel to that show -- colors, textures, basic designs, even the "bellhop" overalls . . . this is what we should have been seeing with "Enterprise." The Starfleet delta does look too plasticky and like later incarnations . . . couldn't it have been a patch? . . . but I can live with that . . . .

I like the, what George Lucas called "used future" asthetic. It gives a sense of history to the Federation. If I'm not mistaken, it has been around for some time around the time Kirk joins up. To use my own experiences in the U.S. Navy, from a distance, your basic surface ship looks pristine and majestic. But get on board one, and even the most seemingly spotless ship has some wear to it. That's what happens to stuff over time. The days where the future looked like it popped up yesterday are long gone. Go re-watch TOS for the billionth time if you like that asthetic. Trhe rest of us are ready to see Trek into the 21st century and beyond.

Looks like it could almost pass for the old Class-J ship Pike was on when he saved all those cadets. Fits the supposed look, at least.

Guess it just depends on much they intend to show us in this movie... if they could tie it in well to the story, seeing the actions that very nearly cost Captain Pike his life would rank as one of the things I'd most want to see, right up there with young Kirk on Tarsus IV.

What?

You see? It's nerdgasms like this which I hope Abrams will avoid.

seigezunt · March 27 2008, 10:21 PM

I'm pleased. And once again, it looks like the whole "it will be a complete reboot" crowd is wrong. I see definite shades of TOS.
