Quoted from Electric Dreamer Pretty sure it's a revamped version of this original series character... http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Gary_Mitchell But yeah, he does a ton of Khan-like stuff in the teaser! Regards, E.D.

Thats who I thought it was to. But I dont see the glowing mutant silver eyes. And Mitchell didnt have a slightly british accent either. This could be someone we havent seen before. Khan you guess who it is?

HGW

In day-to-day life I refuse to refer to Abrams' 2009 film by its title, because I don't feel it has any relation to the franchise it's supposedly a part of. Instead I call it GSAF, or Generic Space Action Film.

I'd say Abrams' pandering shit tends to be better than the average pandering shit, so GSAF 2 should be a reasonably entertaining generic space action film, too. Ho ho.

The teaser, like most trailers, takes itself too seriously. It's like every time a blockbuster comes out now it's supposed to be the most epic event of our lives -- never mind the fact Hollywood can rarely manage to even tell us a real story lately. The first one was probably one of the best examples of a by-the-numbers Hollywood script in a long time, though (well, that and Avengers), and I imagine the sequel will be similarly tight.

Personally I would point to TMP, Khan, Voyage, Generations, and Contact as all being pretty strong -- but highly flawed -- examples of Star Trek being done right on the big screen, and on relatively tiny budgets, to boot. In terms of what I think Star Trek should be, everything has been better than the moronic puerility of '09 (including Frontier, and I don't say that lightly)...at least the rest of the films are about genuine adults. But in terms of what's realistic for a "Star Trek movie" right now -- junk food -- I imagine GSAF 2 will be appropriately loud, fast, entertaining, forgettable, and bad for you. If nothing else, few things sound better than that Giacchino theme in a big theatre.

Quoted from bert Except for the Spock/Uhura hook-up. That is the most retarded decision in the history of the franchise.

From the trailer, it looks like she hooks up with Scotty. Star Trek V, anyone? Wonder if she'll bring a bag of potato chips to the bridge again? Lol

Agreed...

Only because I was hoping for a three way with Miss Green Bean.
The original series was known for breaking social taboos!

YES.

Boy, you hate GSAF more than I do! Let's be friends.

Jerry Goldsmith's main theme from The Motion Picture!

I quit caring about the new Star Trek [edit GSAF lol] after the Spock vs Kirk debate in the last un... can't believe the film actually started so good, and THEN ruined it.

Up to that point it was getting me hopeful, after that it went back to the recent trend for set-piece action sequences linked by unmitigated drivel. What happened, they only paid a pro writer for the first 20 pages?

Still, where there's a franchise, there's hope - look how far Batman's come since the Joel Schumacher debacle. So maybe I'll risk a little caring again...

I’m certainly not going to debate what was good or bad with the previous outings, leave that to the Trekkie’s. All I can say is that I enjoyed the reboot in ’09 and this trailer did enough to wet my appetite for next year.
