Star Trek Into Darkness - Images, Videos, Discussion, etc

Surprised noone has brought up the very Khan like cadence in the "You are a pawn, Kirk." line. Figured there would have been ten posts just for that by now but, that like other things is just pure coincidence.

A plausible possibility as to who John Harrison really is would be him actually being a Klingon imitating a human. Making him a double agent even. It wouldn't be the first time afterall. Then ofcourse there is the whole augment possibility as well. Maybe this time around Section 31 made Gary Mitchell(same # of letters!) into a super human instead of the Great Barrier. I know its been brought up before that he dies at the end of one of the comics but none of the characters actually sees him die leaving a chance of revival for Into Darkness. Either way I highly doubt he is a 100% all natural human being.

Also, about the GATT2000 character, someone did spot him on the bridge of the Excelsior/Star Empire/Dreadnought behind Abrams at the helm console.

Nice TV spot.  Showed the Enterprise blasting off from inside a planetary atmosphere.  I'm not sure if it's after the mission to Nibiru or what though.

The volcano in the background says yes lol.

The Star Trek Countdown into Darkness comic, reveals a tidbit which -may- have implications on events in the movie:

Spoiler: show

   After Kirk apprehends renegade former Starfleet Captain April, Kirk is ordered by Admiral Pike to drop April off at the nearest starbase, for Starfleet Intelligence to interrogate April. Section 31 connection perhaps?

First Star Trek clip shows Kirk struggling with the Prime Directive

EDIT: Included a Behind-the-scenes look of what might possibly be it's bridge:

Oh my!

"I will have my vengeance!"

I wonder if he's talking about revenge or if he's actually talking about the ship.

Oh my!

I so read that in Takei's voice.

[Nebula]

here is a better shot of the ship



To me it looks like the Klings got their hands on a Fed ship.

[Joshmaul]

Sean Tourangeau's comment on Facebook was that it looked like something out of STO. I agree - it reminds me in a way of the scrapped NX-91001 design.

[WileyCoyote]

I spy Sovereign-styled escape pods. That ship looks reminiscent of a ship from Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning.

I see SPACE BALLS! WATCH OUT!

i hate it.

That's kinda my thought as well

[Shadowknight1]

i hate it.

It makes the giant duck(Ent-D) look elegant by comparison.   Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about it.  On the one hand, it embodies big, bad-assery, but if it's a Section 31 design, it seems a bit overstated for covert ops.

Also Wiley, if those are escape pods, then my grandmother's a wagon.  That ship is far too big for those to actually be escape pods.

And finally...where are the BFG's?

see those 2 big spheres on either side of the deflector? I think they come out of them.

I agree

The Bridge looks nice, i think it suits the outer appearence of the ship.  Seems its smaller then the Enterprise-Bridge, despite the ship's much bigger...

[Bones]

I can see what JJ did there can anybody see the resemblance of the Vengence bridge to TRON ? dark with illuminated outlines ? looks cool but the ship itself ... looked better in trailers TBH, the design is a little bit too heavy for me

[captain_obvious]

I don't know about that boat.  I dig the nacelles, the pylons and the secondary hull for some reason.  But that saucer doesn't seem to fit.  It could be my eyes or it could just be the angle, but the whole saucer seems lopsided..  Also, I really don't get why they would waste so much possible volume by having a massive gap in the middle of the saucer!  I always thought of S31 as being pragmatic, practical and efficient.  Valuing the ability to get the job done over coolness, but that boat just screeches "LOOK AT ME I'M SO COOL I'M BIG AND I HAVE A HOLE IN MY SAUCER LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME AND I'M COOL YEAH".

Maybe it's not a S31 ship after all.  Perhaps it's a ship that the feds built as a response to nero, which the section had an influence in, only for Harrison to steal it (as part of an operation for S31/some other agent perhaps?)

[Nebula]

at least it isn't this

Why does every questionable action involving Federation starships/personnel always evoke Section 31?

[Vortex]

I think that it's the fact that it's so dark and there are no visible markings on it, also, isn't this supposed to only be a year after the last movie, and Enterprise was the best ship back then? That took a few years to build, this must have taken a lot longer given it's size, so where did it come from?

I like some parts of it, the nacelles are really cool, not sure about the way that hull integrates with the saucer.
