Clip #5
Two Words. Seat! Belts!

Also was that a Deltan?



John Harrison has a message for Kirk, Spock and Uhura with some new footage.

Spock seems a wee bit jealous.  Can't blame Kirk for wanting the hot blonde with the sexy accent over the stuffy pointed ear hobgoblin.  Also, doesn't the Enterprise have 14 science labs?  Surely a second science officer isn't a bad thing.

Curious would be more accurate I think. She is redundent since she is there to fill the same position as Spock. And obviously it had to of been Admiral Alex Marcus(Bobby April's First Officer on the previous 1701) that assigned her to the E and not Kirk since he didn't even know about it until she showed up. The "I wish I had." says it all.

@Nebula
Cool for you man. The rest of us will be stuck with the standard experience.

Honestly, in regards to seat belts:

It's about goddamn time!!!

A cut scene from Star Trek Nemesis, showed the new Captain's Chair (later used as Archer's Season 4 chair), had a button to "deploy seat belts", which went over the shoulders and across the chest.

Star Trek ships have inertial dampers, which apparently are very prone to failure, as we've seen crew members thrown all over the place time and time again. Still waiting for them to install circuit breakers, to avoid the "exploding console syndrome", but those may not be installed until Tuesday

captain_obvious There was a viral campaign that started with one of the trailers called AreYouThe1701?.  You sign up and apparently 1,701 of us were sent a poster and a pair of 3D glasses to view a new trailer tomorrow.

Oh.  I didn't hear a damn thing about it.  Meh.

[moed]

i think it still looks stupid as the last one...  of course ill see it in theaters, but im just not a fan like at all of this new reboot nonsense...
ah well...

Agreed! 

There was NOTHING wrong with the original timeline... just something wrong with the people that thought it was "old and tired".

Don't get me wrong, I do "like" the new revamp of Star Trek... after all, it's still Trek... but no where near the same.

[FarShot]

That's a bit naive, saying there's nothing wrong.  Convoluted contradictory canon, cheesy entire 23rd century... let's be honest, if you showed a new person the Prime timeline, you'd get comments along the likes of:

1.  TOS is extremely campy, no wonder it was cancelled.
2.  TNG had 80's gym clothes in the future.  WTF?  And most of the first three seasons sucked.
3.  DS9... well I don't have many complaints about DS9.  Started up slowly though.
4.  Voyager had its super campy moments like TOS.
5.  ENT... well you all know.

If you're going to defend your franchise, drop the rose-tinted glasses first.

Okay trailer looks to be what they are running with Iron Man 3 3D

[Shadowknight1]

Meh, 3D glasses never seem to work right for me.  Why can't they just send it to my 3DS so I don't need the glasses?

BTW, had a few thoughts regarding Captain April's Enterprise in the comics.  It's pretty well understood that after April's run with the Enterprise, it underwent a refit before being assigned to Christopher Pike.  Perhaps in the new timeline, April's Enterprise was a prototype response to the Kelvin incident, but Starfleet Intelligence found evidence that the enormous Romulan ship that destroyed the Kelvin was being held by the Klingon Empire, so they scrapped the current design of the Constitution-class and up-graded to what we saw in the movie?

[FarShot]

Think I mentioned my own theory along those lines several pages back.

Finally caught up on Countdown to Darkness.  They kept that woman's shuttle.  Think it's the civilian ship they take to Qu'nos in the movie?  It looks like Harry Mudd's old ship from TOS minus the outboard nacelles.

[Shadowknight1]

Also, a lot of people are griping about the size of the U.S.S. Vengeance, but I think there's an explanation for that too.  One of the writers, I can't remember which, said that the destruction of Vulcan in the 2009 film had a 9/11 effect on Starfleet and the Federation.  I think the huge, gigantic warship is the direct result of that.  Some are suggesting it's a Section 31 vessel, but I think the U.S.S. designation goes against that idea.

And I really need to get Countdown to Darkness.  Am I the only one that thinks Harcourt Fenton Mudd breeding with a Bajoran is a scary thought?

[Darkthunder]

The USS Vengeance -may- have been an officially commissioned starship by the Federation, which was later commandeered by Section 31, and retrofitted with experimental technologies. That would allow the USS designation on a covert ship.

That Imax poster makes the little e look rather good.  Actually no, a connie just looks plain old awesome from that angle, JJprise or not!

It de-emphasizes the dustbuster nacelles, certainly.

Gotta say though, that's definitely an oversized version of the Vengeance.  Just look at the shot I posted earlier, it's nowhere near that big lol.  Still say that someone needs to find out how big that section of Alcatraz is so we can estimate the size of the Dreadnought-class and from there, confirm the size of the Enterprise once and for all.
