Yes, but wouldn't it be more logical to use something like a helicopter, though?

Is this script still out there on the net somewhere, accessible?
As for the trailer and the movie itself, considering Trek's trend towards a more Star Wars like feel, all I have to say is I have a bad feeling about this.

How is this trending more towards Star Wars? There is no real sign of the hideously antiseptic visual presentation we've seen in the last two movies, and we *know* that given the chance these actors can actually act. The aliens aren't CGI, there are no hokey one-liners (in the trailer, anyway), and so forth.
If anything, the trailer reminds me very much of the commercials for recent spy thrillers for stuff like the Bourne Identity or The Sum of All Fears, in tone and presentation - and this is a good thing. The only thing I'll have trouble accepting is how old the actors are now - everyone's fifteen years older, and alone they'd never have a leading role in a film (save Patrick Stewart, of course). The only time that such a cast gets this old is in franchise movies like this, which is extrememly rare.
On the other hand, these guys are at about the same place that the TOS crew was at when they were making TWOK - fifteen years after the start of their series. The TOS crew on average was much younger though...
And hey, here's another point to ponder - as of this movie, the TNG gang will have spent more time with the Enterprise-E than they ever did on the E-D. Gotta wonder just what kind of adventures we've missed. I mean, when they were on the E-D they routinely saved the universe, travelled all over the place in time, been to whole other galaxies, etc. With the E-E, they've gone to Earth to stop one Borg ship, and then saved 600 people on a backwater planet. Yay.

Yeah. Nobody says that Picard is gay!

Wait, Patrick Stewart is actually gay?
Geez, is every British Shakespearan actor turned major science-fiction/comic book character a homosexual?
What's the deal?
