New Star Trek trailer online

Yes, but he wasn't part of the bridge crew, AFAIC.

Though you could argue that he was a third-watch bridge crew, not there when the Captain is not on the bridge. After all, Kirk has to sleep sometimes.

Funny that you mention other crew watches. I was thinking that if the new movie does well, I'd like to see a TV series set in the original series time period. I figured that it might be hard to get the movie actors all to do a series, so I was thinking of a series based on a ship besides the Enterprise or based on one of the Enterprise's alternate watches. Either would allow for guest appearances by the movie actors, but some could be regulars on an Enterprise based show. It also opens up humor based on the actions of the primary watch. Like having the TV crew complain about the mess the Captain got them in, or the damaged engines they have to fix because Scotty stressed the ship too much.

I don't know if the audience would open up to another prequel Trek series, even if takes place in the same timeline as TOS.

Most of us would rather move forward ahead of the Voyager timeline.

And though it may not possible if Paramount want more of Abrams or the new franchise movie direction, I'd want a well-written, well-directed 24th-Century Trek movie that features almost all of the contemporary Trek characters, from TNG, DS9, and VOY.

I won't claim that my wishes apply to most people, but I doubt we would be getting the new movie if someone didn't think there was still an audience for stories set in TOS timeline.

I would like to see such a movie, but getting together all those actors would be hard. It would also be hard to write a movie with all those characters without most of them just endig up in brief cameos.
Edit: You'd also run in to the problems of the movies that used TOS cast. The actors are getting old, and it doesn't make sense for them to be in the same assignments for so many years.

Someone being from Paramount, and the guy who proposed happens to be the hardest working producer of this generation, JJ Abrams? Who wouldn't say no to JJ Abrams in Hollywood? Maybe JK Rowling but JJ Abrams shouldn't be involved in the Harry Potter film franchise.

Right so if JJ Abrams feels there is an audience for a story involving TOS characters, then his track record shows he is probably right. Thanks for helping to reinforce my point.

Personally, I don't really care when within TOS to post TNG period they put the next series. I just want a well written series with interesting characters and some drama. It's time Star Trek moved away from every episode ending with the same status quo it began with. If the new movie does well, I think it would make most sense for any new series to be set in the same era.

Do not assume.

I, for instance, would prefer to see a new Original Era series, and never see another Trek series move further ahead than the ones we've already got. I can think of several other friends who feel the same.

You might represent the majority here--it's certainly possible, maybe even probable--but I see no hard evidence of it.

Thanks!

And you guys can complain, critisize, and point out all the flaws, when I see the trailer (despite that car crash scene), I can only think this movie is going to be good.

Maybe not. We might need a poll.
