    I lost count of how many times Kirk has blown up the enterprise... I guess this is just another +1

    And what of Kirk's predecessor as captain of the USS Enterprise, Christopher Pike? Will they show what turned him into a beeping shell of a man?

    Yeah. I think the monster was the Director of Broadcast Programming at NBC that didn't like the original pilot and didn't pick up the show until Roddenberry (or maybe Desilu) recast and shot another pilot. A disfigured Captain Pike was used to stitch the storyline together to salvage footage (actor Jeffrey Hunter had long since moved on). A younger Pike will appear in J.J. Abrams' new movie.

    They originally wanted to do this scene with young Scotty hooning a car in Scottland....but then they realized no British car would be left running that far into the future

    While I have to admit, it was sort of a cool sequence, but what exactly was the point of sending that vette over the cliff? I was hoping for it to be more like Thelma and Louise.... really though, that's just me. Is it wrong?

    @kors: I had read about the trailer beforehand and assumed that, upon seeing it, some inexplicably good reason would be given for him destroying the beautiful car.


    Instead, I just think Kirk was a little jackass as a kid.

    First it's Daniel Craig and Quantum of Solace as a younger studly James Bond, now it's the return of a young, hunky, and apparently horny passel of studs from the Star Trek franchise...

    Of the four "Star" franchises--Wars, Trek, Gate, and Search--Trek is easily my third favorite.

    Wasn't Kirk from Iowa? Are there lots of cliffs in Iowa?


    Wait.


    Wikipedia says "Riverside, Iowa."


    Google Maps says not a lot of cliffs in Riverside, Iowa:

    I suggest you hit the star trek page and download the HD trailer, it's pretty bad ass.

    What a shame. What a complete an utter waste.


    Why God?


    Why did they make another Star Trek movie?

    @SCROGGS!: Between you and me (and the rest of the internets) I really want to see another Next Gen movie, but with different actors... somehow. I haven't really thought that out, but many more people watched Next Gen than ever watched the original series.

    The reason they have for waiting to release it online is, to be politically correct, developmentally-challenged.
