Nothing to see...yet

Wow! That does look good!

Is this a prequel to the series by chance?

I love almost all of Abrams' work

Yes it follows Kirk and Spock after they graduate from Starfleet Academy and take over the Enterprise from CPT Pike and assembles the crew for their first mission.

The preview looks dark. But, what can you really get from a few random shots?

I wish if they were trying to rehab the franchise. They'd try something new. Maybe have it take place during a crazy war. Introduce new characters who you won't mind if they're killed. Just go nuts.

Nice! Abrams doing it should make this one a keeper too!

That's been done.Called a Borg storyline.

That's been done.Called a Borg storyline.

And the Dominion War.

I love JJ Abrams work, but with each new revision of Star Trek, we are getting father and farther away from Gene Roddenberry, to the point that the series will be barely recognizable as "Star Trek."

I do think Rick Berman did a really good job with the series, but since he worked with Roddenberry, at least he has that connection, and a lot of what we know is really "Berman" Trek. But I am very, very wary in going backwards to re-imagine the Trek world, because it just changes too much, to the point that ST: TOS becomes almost irrelevant.

I always thought a good series would be "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy." They could easily introduce old characters, who could be instructors at the academy, with a great deal of possibilities for storylines while staying true to the Star Trek universe.

And the Dominion War.

And the Zendi.

[Buford]

Those were little blips in the whole storyline. They're usually avoiding war.

A movie series, or TV series where they are always at war would be a different thing.

The Borg thing was like avoiding a disease.

Glad Paramount decided to actually release it, instead of making people watch crummy youtube pirated versions.

I thought Berman /Braga just plain ran out of ideas. Reboots can do well (ie Batman) and maybe needed an outsider to relaunch the franchise and give it fresh legs.They did pull the plug a tad bit too early on the Enterpise and the series could have gone into the founding of the Federation and Starfleet more, because that final episode was average at best.
Now lets be real the effects have to be better.I loved the Original Series also but LCD lights for bridge controls on a massive starship won't cut it in 2008/9.

being a huge star wars geek, i hate to say that after watching that teaser and seeing that jj abrams is working on it that i'll probably be there on opening day to see this movie.

please forgive me

I imagine that they will have some run-ins with klingons in this...
