Its the third redesign of the Kirk Enterprise  - and the fourth different Enterprise in the movie franchise...you'll get used to it

 Tronsky

Except that those were upgrades written into the storylines. This is Abrams redesign of what HE thinks the show should be instead of going by what the previous movies and books have said. I don't like how hollywood always changes storylines OR historical facts [talking about alot of historical movies that were hollywoodized for entertainment] just to produce a movie that THEY think everyone wants to see. There will be alot of people that will not like the movie because of that.

This new Enterprise looks like it was an old stand in for that Flash Gordan movie made back in the 80s.

The trailer has been out since Thanksgiving and still most people don't know they are making this movie. Goes to show how little people (including myself) care for another one of these.

They should just change the hull registry to NCC-90210. Because that's exactly what this is going to be.

I've come to the conclusion that Paramount doesn't give a DAMN about the people who've loved Star Trek from the beginning. They should have laid the franchise to rest with First Contact.

Of course they don't.I dislike the redesign of the Enterprise as much as you do,but let's face it;they're trying to sell it to an entire new audience,not people that loved Star Trek from the beginning.

And that's a BAD thing. They have a built-in audience spanning 40 years and they're going to completely disregard that history to pack in a generation fed of American Idol and High School Musical? It's a slap in the face, and if Enterprise, Voyager and Nemesis didn't already have Gene rolling in his grave he sure as hell is NOW.

I can see fans complaining about Nemesis and Enterprise, but what was so bad about Voyager?

Voyager was the intergalactic Love Boat.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

It's only one reason, but to quote a friend: "Voyager turned Picard's White Whale into Flipper." Totally absurd that ONE Borg cube annihilated virtually all of Star Fleet at Wolf 359, and brushed off USS Defiant (which was DESIGNED from the keel up to fight the Borg!) without a second thought, yet Voyager takes on the ENTIRE Borg race and wins?

Well, Eowyn did kill the invincible Witch King of Angmar, right? Perhaps it only took a woman to do it :D

Janeway wasn't even all that good of a captain. Picard would beat her handily in combat, and Kirk...

Kirk would have just nailed her and moved on after she died tragically partway through the episode.

Kirk as he was portrayed by Shatner just doesnt fit into todays world and he would have to in order to win over a new generation. Probably the special effects wont make much sense either but I will wait watch and then judge it.

Today's generation can bite me. Leave the classic crew the hell alone.
