Who wants NEW Star Trek Movie Stills?

[DS1]

oops, missed one

[Parche]

1. What Is This Star Trek High School Musical?

They all look like they are in Midlo's Middle School..........:hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. LOL

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Is the new Kirk Shatnerworthy?

I don't know, I'm worried this might be a little awkward and upsetting, as cool as it initially sounds....

[Frank Cannon]

28. Word is that Kevin Smith has seen some of the movie...

and that this Chris Pine guy delivers on the Kirkly goodness.

[Shell Beau]

3. I think Sylar will be good although I am not a Star Trek fan.

[DS1]

4. This guy will always be "Harold", to me

[Shell Beau]

6. Yeah and Kumar is on House!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. So Kirk is 19?

And who's the other yellow shirt? Chekov? Where's the Beatles 'do?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. Is this the NCC-90210?

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. Looks like it LOL

[Dr. Strange]

9. Okay, be honest...

How many people think Spock is about to cut Kirk's head open and try to get his power?

[Shell Beau]

10. He's not?

:P

[NJmaverick]

15. Me, he certainly has that look

[MilesColtrane]

12. So Kirk's too cool to wear an actual uniform?

Why no insignia? Did he get expelled for a panty raid at the Academy?

He looks like a host for "Sprockets:The Next Generation".

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. The actor who plays Bones looks EXTREMELY convincing.

You can see a younger DeForest Kelley easily. Uhura is good too.

Kirk, Spock, Scotty, and Sulu... not so much, but they'll do.

Who's the curly-haired character to the left of Kirk?

[Blue_Tires]

16. got to be Chekov

[PVnRT]

34. Checkhov joined the show in the 2nd season, I believe

So he really shouldn't be in this movie at all.

[MilesColtrane]

18. I think that's supposed to be Chekov.

But, if Kirk is early twenties in this movie, wouldn't Chekov be like 15 years old?

The actor playing young Bones looks more like Joey from "Friends" than DeForest Kelley to me.

[Blue_Tires]

14. i saw these on another forum

and i'm impressed with the look so far -- this has potential if the writing is good...

I'm not sold on them keeping the 60s-style uniforms, but i guess there has to be a nod somewhere to the original series (short skirts in space? i'm confused and turned on at the same time)...The what i can see of the bridge seems a little too 'out there' -- One of the stylistic things "ST: Enterprise" tried to do here and there was to bridge a technological gap from where next-gen NASA tech ended and Starfleet tech began...But then again maybe they are going into a different direction altogether...

And Kirk seems pretty young...I remember reading in a novel (can't remember if it was canon or not) that Kirk was the youngest to ever make Captain at age 31? well, off to the star trek forums to get my timelines straight (haven't been there in years so i'm a little rusty)

[billyskank]

17. Maybe it will be really great, but I can't help but think

FFS, can nobody think of anything new any more? :eyes:

[mainegreen]

19. I don't care what the actors look like. Just no 'saving whales' or 'political intrigue' plots.

I want REAL Star Trek dammit. Blobby aliens and web spinning space gods for me!

[Orsino]

20. Jesus. None of 'em look anything like the original cast.

Except maybe Urban, a little.

Two hours of listening to (and watching) bad impressions of iconic characters could drive me bugfuck. Well, we'll see.

[DS1]

21. Looks like Lance Armstrong is the Captain of the USS Kelvin

[Swede]

22. Beam me up.

I'm gonna go with an open mind.

[deucemagnet]

23. Do ya think somebody's been studying old TOS eps and copying Shatner's moves?

:rofl:

Seriously, though, I hope it's good. :)

[Pierre.Suave]

24. Isnt the Captain supposed to have some experience...

They dont give starships to every newbie that comes out of the academy do they?

They all look way too young to do anything but sleep through their math class the morning after the frat party...

[Blue_Tires]

37. as i mentioned downthread

Kirk was supposed to be past 30 when he even made Captain and even then he was the youngest ever in Starfleet history

[MrScorpio]

25. You know what this movie needs?

More CHEKOV!

[keroro gunsou]

26. walter does nicely nasty

turn in babylon 5 as a psicop named bester. good play against type and walter eats it up.

[Chovexani]

27. I'm sorry but I just am not buying any of what they are trying to sell

Harold and Sylar Go to Starfleet Academy might sound like a good idea on paper but I don't know this is gonna work. And I'm a Trekkie.

The casting decisions are totally ruining this for me. Karl Urban is about the only one I'm digging in any capacity, but I'd pay to watch him read the phonebook. I can't see Zachary Quinto as anyone but Sylar, he just looks too weird, and I'm not terribly enthralled by his acting skillset. I could be wrong (I hope I am) but that one still pretty much confirms that he's just Sylar with pointy ears in this. Zoe Saldana? Uh, no. Sanaa Lathan can act circles around her. It also seems to suffer from the same problem that Enterprise did, in that it just looks way too polished. That set's ridiculous.

Mostly I just wish they'd leave Trek dead where Brannon and Braga buried it. It's like they're trying to one up themselves in how they can further fuck it up. :P

[AlCzervik]

29. holy crap that's Harold and what a really young cast.

[TommyO]

30. That's the whole idea. This is pre-TOS

[Deep13]

31. Quit messing with the Kirk chair!

The original Kirk chair was iconic. All the movies and spin-offs tried to improve it and they all failed.

[Frank Cannon]

32. Wait a minute. That looks like an escape pod.

Don't tell me they blow up the Enterprise AGAIN!

Ai, caramba...

[MilesColtrane]

33. "Dude, Where's My Starship?"

Trepidation levels rising captain.

[Kutjara]

36. Kirk is the John McCain of the 22nd Century.

He just can't help wrecking them ships.

[Kutjara]

35. They seem to have forgotten that Vulcans age much more slowly than humans.

In "Enterprise," we learned that T'Pol was about 130 years old, yet she looked to be in her late 20s. Similarly, "Voyager's" Tuvok had been an ensign on Captain Sulu's ship eighty years before, and looked pretty much the same as he did on Voyager.

Given that the new movie takes place no more than, say, fifteen years before the original series, Spock should look just exactly like he did then (mid-30s and Leonard Nimoy-esque). The age Spock is in these stills, they must be setting the movie about the middle of next week.

[DS1]

38. wait a minute

I thought Enterprise was also before the TOS, so what happened to Sulu? Was he a Captain with his own ship then demoted?

[Kutjara]

39. Enterprise was before TOS, but Voyager was set 80 years or so later than TOS.

Tuvok served on Voyager, but in one episode he relived some memories from when he was aboard Sulu's ship in the TOS era.

[DS1]

40. Ooooh, okay thanks
