Yes, definitely

Shatner will always be Kirk in so many ways, whoever plays him later on. But I hope this goes the route of the Bond actors were Connery will always be the original and best, but other good ones can follow.

As to the question about the Romulans in that timeframe - all the Romulans, cheifly Eric Bana's character, are from the post TNG era, and go back in time to try and "Terminator" Kirk. The crux of the story is Old Spock going back to stop them, with the asistance of Young Spock.

So, assuming the Romulans don't do too much jumping around saying "We're here", and play it more through subterfuge, it should still gel, in terms of continuity.

Couldn't agree with you more. I don't know when people who make prequels are going to get it through their heads that we want good stories not special effects that so vastly outstrip the original that it doesn't make any sense. This is the main reason the Star Wars prequels blew chunks. Lucas focused solely on special effects and forgot to tell a story. So far, I have absolutely the lowest expectations for this Trek film. Since Nolan did such a good job with the new batman (actually making it way more realistic which with batman I figured was impossible) I had had some hope but, no more.

Remember, the events of First Contact changed the timeline in subtle ways (such as creating the entire Enterprise storyline). One of the more minor ripples was that, in this version of the universe, when NCC 1701 was ordered, Kirk obviously chose the "Deluxe Blue Crystal" trim pack instead of the "70s retro" kit. What the longterm effects of this will be is unknown, but I think that option came with the anti-lock warp nacelles, which might change the course of a few battles.

They could have gone for the "Apple Special" aluminium and black glass - but Uhura didn't want the glossy main viewscreen and Scotty needed Firewire to plug in his tricorder....

Didn't occur to me that the basic premise - which has been discussed publicly by those involved, and printed dozens of times, would be that much of a spoiler.

Well, for one - did you really expect them to keep the cardboard and pastels style of the old show??

Besides, who's to say they won't refit it to look more like what we know later on? What we're seeing in these pictures is still from before "The Cage" pilot of the series. Maybe captian Pike has the bridge redesigned at some point?

The Extreme Makeover team have a cameo appearance.

As a side note does anyone know if Pike will be featured in the movie? Or is that another secret?

I don't know if it's considered a secret or not... but yeah. Pike will be played by Bruce Greenwood.
