I completely agree, but, well, you know...that would require actual NEW ideas...

Someone probably asked JJ that and he mistook it as a request for Gary Mitchell

DS9 was full of terrorist and wars and its my favorite Star Trek, so I dont see the problem.
That's DS9 though, a show in the same universe but with a fundamentally different premise.

Another potential hint or misdirection pointing at Khan.
"Khan, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, Nero..."

Khan and Nero are easy to get confused though since there both named after famous historical figures
Semi-joke? Even if they were historical figures, their stories were not much alike and not thought of together. That slip suggests that Khan was on his mind.

You think Abrams cares about that?
I don't think the general masses care about that, the Star Trek name will pull in the fanbase for good or bad, it is the general population the film is aimed at bringing in which is where they make they aim to make their money.
And personally as a Star Trek fan it doesn't bother me, if I'm going to have to sit next to some stranger that might have never seen any Star Trek before the last film and pay ticket prices that continue to go up, I don't need to see a story that has no doubt been played out in one of the many Star Trek episodes that already exist.
Yeah, not one jot.
As opposed to rehashing a canon charcter? Exploration does not mean rehashing TOS, it means making something we haven't seen before.
I don't get why people are against revisiting a canon villain. It will play out very different now because circumstances will be totally different if they go with Khan. He won't have loved and lost after 15 years of exile by Kirk. He would have different motivations and ambitions.
Eh, it's... reasonable... I mean who knows, some of the people that died on the Kelvin... there might have been some 6 degrees of separation and he career ended up taking her into Starfleet proper.
Since when has ANY good trek movie been about that? That's trek tv show material. Trek the film franchise has always been blockbuster action material.
More speculation:
Peter Weller is supposed to be a human C.E.O. who has his own ship who has a substantial role in the movie. He has said so himself in interviews. He hasn't appeared in any marketing materials so they're keeping a tight lid on how he fits into the movie.
Maybe he runs a pharmaceutical company that found the Botany Bay and studied Khan's people to create a new gene therapy that he tests on John Harrison.
Alternatively, maybe a human corporate ship finds the Botany Bay, Peter Weller is Khan and steals the ship, and tries to rule the world as a C.E.O. instead of as a dictator. Perhaps John Harrison is one of his men who he sends to set events in motion to allow his company to get richer and more influential.

To varying degrees of unsuccess. This is what I never understood about the ST09 haters before that movie came out. Afterwards, sure, pick apart the plot holes. But purely on the principle of it "not being trek", where the fuck were they to the same extent when turds like Generations and Nemesis came out?
The "CEO" bit is thought to possibly be a mistranslation. Possibly he meant CO.
That's what I getting at by "ripple in the pond". The point is, they're altering canon. This is important because it throws a few of the "it can't be him, it must be him" arguments based on canon out the window.

The return of John Frederick Paxton?

The geek in me demands to see him back!

So is the composer coming back for this film? I can't remember his name to save my life right now due to this killer headache.
Edit: Giacchino.
Edit: Giacchino.
Yep, Giacchino scores all of Abrams films.
Assuming Orci wasn't lying in that interview, Weller is a new character.

Yeah, I expect as much. A boy can dream though.
Yeah, he said Weller is a new character, Cumberbatch is a previously established canon character, and Alive Eve is a previously estalbished canon character.

It's obvious he's Harry Mudd.
Well in the intro pretty much the entire bridge crew is involved in the mission and has a job to do.
Nobody knows.
Is such a thing possible?

What, Star Trek fans not knowing something about Star Trek? Sounds like you grew up without Usenet.
Peter Weller could be Paxton's son or grandson I suppose.

The full trailer is supposed to hit online on Monday I believe. What came out online was just the teaser.
I believe this is because the day-0ers lacked the will to do what was necessary.

Full trailer was fantastic. I loved the teaser, but the full trailer was much better.

Is the preview in front of the 48fps Imax only? My theater has both regular and the 48fps Imax, and the regular is playing at a more convenient time.
