I'm not sure what to think:( I to have looked at pictures of Gabriel Koerner's Enterprise and the one from the trailer does look similar. I suppose the 40 year old television version just wouldn't cut it on the big screen in 2008.

I've watched a video on Youtube with Gabriel's 1701 in and she has the same feel about her on screen as the original Enterprise so i'm hoping things will turn out alright.

A bit more open minded maybe!?.

This teaser trailer doesn't really show much at all.

Yes, but that is likely all that you're going to see for some time. Besides, wouldn't it be more disappointing if there was nothing officially Trek-related at all being produced? The community needs some new life, and this just may be what the doctor ordered.
If it's a re-imagination, or a reboot, or a refit, it doesn't matter- because at this point, the best thing that we Trekers could hope for, is a faint heartbeat, and a weak pulse.

Were it not for this, we'd be talking about embalming the corpse.

I'd say, that it looks better than the TOS Enterprise.

I mean, you can't really see much, but you get a feeling that, hey, those engines. You don't want to be standing them near them when they are active, or disobey the yellow sticker politely saying "please don't stand here".
Their purpose is to play with high energies and bend space in ways squishy monkeys made of manflesh weren't supposed to experience, and frankly should be thankful they even have the honor of being near. They are not sympathetic, they don't care about you. They don't like you. They only care about doing what an engineer's equation has told them to do, and that is to propel a lot, lot, lot, LOT of tonnage into faster than Light speeds, quite possibly using as much energy as your body in all its life, and your entire family's bodies all the way to the past since you came out of goo has used.
Per millisecond.

The thing Trek has always struggled with is getting out of the Sci-Fi niche that people associate with it.

A friend of mine was glued to this trailer (never seen Trek at all) because it was human, looked like it was happening now, and was of genuine interest to her. She wants to see this movie.

We have to stop thinking so selfishly as fans, and realize that the future of Trek rests in bringing in new viewers.

All in all, that is a sexy trailer. I mean wow.

and we need new treks, definately...
maybe going a bit more mainstream like really is the right solution...
Treks dont need to be nerds like us :D
its cool if they are people who simply like the film and so they could get involved with that franchise

  • I make ships.
looks sweet!  I hope it's really different.  I wouldn't mind if it turns out to be totally different from the trek we know.  I'm ready for something new.

Mark, Trek has weathered about forty years of nearly constant change, some has been good, and some has just about sucked. It's natural evolution of the franchise, and it has to happen so that new people, kids like we were once, can be inspired.
The 60's TOS-era stuff is not going to inspire a new generation like it did for us. These kids today have seen technologies, and effects that we couldn't have imagined. Even TNG is starting to look dated in comparison to BSG, and Stargate.

Antique muscle cars like the TOS Enterprise are great, but they aren't going to win any races against a Bugatti.

true enough, and the franchise definately needs new direction - I just feel that rewriting something that has already been done is not what we should be doing... leave the canon as it is and move onto something new.

That is a good point. I suppose it makes a difference to me, that I never really liked the original Connie anyway.

While ST is in a new direction let us focus, on that new connie, I for one have to say I am so happy to finally see a ship which actually looks like a ship, and not something made from plastic or polygons on a computer screen under a budget of 55p *no offence to ST makers but I do think at times some more effects on the ships and time like spent on this ship in the trailer would help*. 

About goddam time :D

True, could ahve just been made that way, have the lettering burned into the plating instead of painted.
