I could have sworn I read that Sulu would be played by James Kyson Lee. 'Cause this looks more like a Harold & Kumar installment. Huh.
And I still think Fillion should be Kirk. That dude looks too young.
Quinto as Spock looks BADASS though.

I'm looking forward to this one. I miss having a Star Trek around.

It's like those big-eared aliens on Enterprise that never gave their names. (The fact that, 200 years later, "Ferengi" is a household word, is irrelevant because it's 200 years later.)

This is true. However, in "Balance of Terror" they also say no one had seen the Romulans in a century neither face to face nor ship to ship. They wern't even sure the ship that was attacking was Romulan it had been so long since they had seen each other. I find it hard for the Romulans to be the villian if the Enterprise never sees them or their ships.

Pics look good so far, though I have to agree the bridge set is way overdone. That looks a heck of lot fancier than any set from previous movies. If this is a prequel shouldn't the set have been simplier, say along the lines of Enterprise the tv series or something?

Kirk is supposed to be young. Part of his cachet is that he was (and AFAIK, still is even by the 24th century) the youngest person to ever make Captain.

If I remember the Kirk mythology right, he was 32 when he got his first command. True, Pine looks a bit younger, but Roddenberry said that Picard was a "youthful" 60yr old at the time TNG begins. Patrick Stewart was only 47 at that time. If humans live longer, a 32 year old man might look mid twenties by our standards.

As much as I love Fillion, I wouldn't want to see him as Kirk. Being the Captain on two different sci-fi series is weird type casting in my opinion.

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

Of course I must see it being a sworn member of the Federation as I am, but I still say only Shatner could go to China.

Denny Crane goes to China! Oh the diplomatic setbacks that could cause!

Sorry, but as much as I love the Shat!, I think it's time for new actors to play the best characters in Star Trek. Now, when I see William Shatner, I only see Denny Crane. Young Shat, Kirk. Old and fat Shat, DENNY CRANE!
