Chew: One word -- SWEET!
I know I'm not the only one getting all giddy inside.
I admit it; I squeed.
Seeing it for the first time in HD I actually spotted.
Built on the Ground? ?? On the GROUND? come on, the best part of the movies was when they did the theme with them launching the ship out of space dock.
The Brass instruments thumping, the running lights kicking on, everything.
Now, we build it on the ground with 20th century welding technology and guys in black hoodies and goggles. 'Spinny thingies' in the engines, oh and some how the earth gravity doesn't rip that all down.
Come on. This is ridiculous. I'm 36, I've been a fan since I could figure out how to turn the TV on and watch the reruns through the UHF snow. I've got over 600 paperback and hardback books I've collected since I was in 7th grade.
I *liked* Voyager, Deep Space 9. Enterprise killed me until the last season when they woke up.
re-imagining is fine when the original show sucked or was super campy. the 60s version and the movies were not campy. Battlestar Galactica had some pretty cheese moments but the remake was handled by someone who cared. Trek didn't need a reboot, it needed some ass kicking of the people who ruined it.
I hope to god I'm wrong, because while I'm no 'trekkie' in the bad sense of the term but Star Trek has been a part of my life as long as I have memory. I've got a notebook from 2nd grade where I was drawing the Enterprise all over the pages and I've kept it all these years to remind myself of the dreams it inspired.
The details that keep leaking out on this version just make me sick. It's nothing like the anticipation of the BSG remake I felt when it was being done, because the idea had merit. This is just a re-hash of everything because as Mike says there are no new ideas coming out of Hollywood.
I hope I'm wrong, i really do, because having a big turd that is what it appears to be come out would destroy my appreciation of Star Trek.
Actually, the Enterprise NCC-1701 (lst commanded by Captain Robert April) will be built at the San Francisco shipwards both on Earth and in orbit. Major pieces will be assembled on ground (as portrayed in this trailer) and then shipped for full assembly in orbit, similar to what is happening today with the International Space Station.
