I checked out the forums on startrek.com (OMG Roll) and no theories yet.

BUT, in the midst of all this nonsense we all seem to have forgotten that in the Trailer one can quite clearly see Christopher Pike walking.

Yeah but iirc he was only in the wheelchair in tos because of some radiation, not because of Nero. It was just a wink to the fans him being in a wheelchair at the end of the 2009 movie, doesn't mean he must always be in a wheelchair, does it?

Worf broke his back and had a brand new spinal column by the end of the episode...

btw, when is the teevee show 'Captain Worf' going into production?

Snipped from Star trek.com

Gary Mitchell has:

•Hypercognition
•Conscious regulation of autonomic reflexes
•Telepathy
•Extrasensory perception of various kinds, including clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairoratory
•Telekinesis
•The ability to control energy, including both its directed use as a weapon against other organisms, and an invulnerability to phaser weapons
•The ability to manipulate matter, including the instant materialization and dematerialization of both organisms and objects


The official synopsis says 'one man weapon of mass destruction.

Combine that with Karl Urban's interview blunder of the name Gary Mitchell, and the shot of the blue-shirted blonde lady, and I think today's news has been a red herring.

Worf has access to medical technology of that sort over 80 years later.

Whats all this piffle?

The only important question to ask is can we see the ship for all the lense flare.

Oddly enough there are none in the trailer.

One of my posts above here talks about how that happened, and then got compounded by ILM's effects by accident.

What gun business do you refer too ? If it's in the trailer, that's fine. Gary Mitchell did not have his powers yet at beginning of TOS episode. Probably same for the film if this is what you refer to.

Yet, he had the ability to fly 40 feet in the air and knock someone over with a gun that looks like it should weigh half a ton. I guess there is a series of scenes where he learns how to use his powers, and the more powerful powers get learnt in time.

Like The Amazing Spiderman.

If Mitchell was the next movie.......

So anyways, if a British accent wielding caucasian plays Sikh Indian Khan Noonien Singh........

No wait, Marcus gave birth to Kirk's Son and is listed as working in the Romulan Warzone on the meta genome that leads to the Genesis Machine...................................................

So, the whole canon of Star Trek is now a circular argument? glad I didn't /sponsor

Fresh new Teaser today.

I can't glean any further clarity from this except a whole lot more folks get sucked out of the ship this time around. Smile

I like old Start Trek movies where most impact was on crew reliations and exploring space, adventures etc, that exploring space matter were most importand things in this movie series. I dont like this new Star Trek movie trailer, looks like full of action like othres mass crap action movies...

EvE isn't game, its style of living.

Yeah. That aspect is starting to annoy me as well.

But it could just be the trailers magnifying it, as trailers do have the purpose of attempting to cater to and draw in 'the unwashed masses'.

Well...it's an interesting point.

Space.

We went there, well, we went to the moon and have long range probes heading outwards...I think people realised very quickly that we are already in space and the exploration of it is pointless.

People are simply not interested in exploring space, mostly due to the way we have begun to view ourselves in the beginning of the 21st century.

We stopped looking up at the stars (mostly because we can barely see anything due to the amount of ambient light - Iceland ftw) and started to look inwards more at ourselves, our lives, our smartphones, our Facebook accounts etc.

It does not surprise me in the slightest that movies set in space end up being about earth, or actually have the climax on earth.

You could create another thread about this and it would go to 100 pages.

Basically, space can go **** itself; we don't care about it or anything else unless it benefits us faster than it takes to google **** or **** and maybe even ****** whilst being **** by a large *********.

Speed of light/warp-drive barrier? Who cares about that when there are people to bitchslap on facebook and stalk?

Space is not mysterious or interesting - working out whether your best-friend secretly wants to steal your partner, is.

I could rumble 100 hundred analogies, but I'm not arguing, so I'll stop...but I do recall reading that women have always found it funny that men are interested in exploring space in large phallic-shaped rockets...especially when they use the word 'thrust'...it makes them giggle.

Of course the other end of the spectrum is being tooooo slow and contemplative. That happened when Robert Wise directed the first "Star Trek: The Motion Picture". He admitted to falling into the Kubrick trap.

The Next Generation movies also had a great ensemble cast, but it was not an 'action cast' and they were badly misused ("First Contact" excepted).

I still find it hard to believe the guy who directed "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", "The Andromeda Strain", and "The Day the Earth Stood Still"(original) made both "The Sound of Music" and "West Side Story". Talk about diverse !
