If Vader is falling for this show, then it must truly be from the darkside......:lol

This, to me, looks very promising......as i've said in the past, a lot of people have a skewed perspective and rosy memory as to what Star Trek "was"...
..you have to remember that the tv shows were becoming tired copies of one another.....the films were getting worse and worse to a point where characters like Picard were totally different in film to how he was on TV.....
This JJ inspired Trek looks like it's taking the subject matter seriously, without drifting into fan pandering nostalgia.
Rich
The Orville is looking pretty good now huh?????
If they had set this halfway between Enterprise and TOS it might be more believable because the interior sets and uniforms look like something that progressed from the Enterprise era. But none of it looks like anything that would have been in use only 10 years before TOS unless Starfleet suddenly decided they needed a complete makeover. As for the JJverse Klingons, if they liked that design so much they should have simply made them a new species. Not that I really care at this point, because I'm not subscribing to CBS All Abscess just to watch one show that hasn't impressed me so far....There's no way I can reconcile that look with being 10 years pre-TOS. If it were post-TNG (and without the really odd Klingons) I could get behind it.
I'm certainly not going to PAY to see that.

There are two rumors floating around about the "Klingons" we saw.
1) They are Klingons, but an older variety, possibly a breakaway group that evolved differently, similar to Vulcans and Romulans (this is based on the statement made about "ancient Klingons").
2) They are, in fact, NOT Klingons, but are actually the Hur'q, a species that invaded Qo'noS in the 14th century.
Excuse me, I have to go find something to barf in.
and also, is ANYONE else tired of that 'BVVRRMMMMMMM' sound effect used when things slow down yet?
it's been in every trailer since transformers at least.
I imagine if this page were around in 1987 there would be all the disgruntled TOS fans hating on TNG for many of the same reasons. Whelp I'll be watching it.
