But like Batman or anything else really popular, things need to be updated and reinvigorated. Im going to give this a chance. to: “your friend”- two things: the dark knight hasnt been made a trilogy yet, based on the fact that only two movies have been released and 42 entertainment did its marketing for one of them, “the dark knight,” but not for star trek, so why dont you get the facts straight before you post. *yawn* I liked the shows and saw the movies.

Gene I am sure has rolled over twice so far. I realize this is a show, but there are many of us who know the history very well, several things stand out as wrong in the trailer: 1. The Constitution class was not built on the earth, it was built in orbit about the earth, it was not built to land or to take off. 2. The Federation has never seen a Romulan until later on, which was made quite clear in TOS when everyone looked at Spock and pointed out the similarities. 3. The Doctor and Scotty where much older than the Captain. Pavel Chekov was very young and was new; all of a sudden the trailer makes them all to seem as the same age. SO will I go see it, OF COUSRE I will! WILL I enjoy it OF COURSE I WILL! WILL I be mad at what they have done to this franchise, OF COURSE I WILL!

Abrams and Paramount have thrown this away and the rare and important things that made star trek special, aren't a part of this new film. I'm sure the film will attract new fans, but it will lose old fans as the film has 'lost' everything that star trek is.

I know paramount sacked the original star trek production company and agreed for JJ Abrams to make it instead. Although I was skeptical at first, knowing and loving Abram's previous work, I didn't think it would fit with the whole star trek ideology. JJ Abrams said he would make this for new audience as well as for star trek fans, so I was keeping an open mind. Now I've seen the trailer, I'm pissed off because it's not star trek anymore. They're just trying to attract a new audience but it no longer has the things I liked about and were specific to star trek, like its values, idealism, and the whole idea creatd by gene roddenberry of an ideal future, with no conflict or worries or money, in an enlightened human race, and to look at humanity to see what is good and bad about us. The whole style created by gene roddenberry has been lost now, and they're turning it into a meaningless money spinner. Paramount have no idea what star trek is about. It stood for something far bigger and more important than a tv prgram. It has inspired millions to better ourselves, not to mention created many medical and engineering breakthroughs. The original production company decided it was important for everything to be as plausible as possible, based on predicted and measured scientific advances, based on real science. This was obvious to most of the fans and any scientists watching, including myself. Now that they've all been sacked, this new JJ Abrams venture is just an artistic thing with no real science or meaning behind it. The Needle-less needle? It was a breakthrough in medical science, and invented by star trek scientists as the 'hypospray'. Ipod and all other hand held pads? Concept based on the 'padd' from star trek. Nasa base much equipment on star trek, I could go on forever. Many devices, and technological advances we see today were inspired by, and some physically prototyped by star trek. Not to mention worldleaders who have been inspired by the ideals, perfect and fair world set out in gene roddenberry's vision. The world I fear won't be the same without it.

By calling it a reboot, you can get away with all the screwed-up continuity/technology/etc. It makes it more palatable. But no, it's as if they WANT the Trekkies to go insane over this.

Tread carefully, dude- those geeks are nuts.

We're up to season II, and I'm loving it all over again. The squeaks, creaks and faux *computer* sound effects are classic and very very funny. I last saw vintage Star Trek when I was, oh, 8 years old (I'm almost 30 years older now) and it's a mindf*ck to see now how truly camp it all was and how bad some of the acting was! That said, I record every single episode -- they are shown daily -- and they are clogging up my PVR (Tivo)! I'm all for "regeneration". But some things are sacred. And there's no way of getting around that, JJ Abrams! If you are not *clever* enough to work within the framework that is Star Trek, you might lose many fans along the way! Hey guys
