Fuck Battlestar Galactica. I'll take the cheesy OS over this new asshole-filled show chock full of pyschos, terminators and modern military jargon. It's like watching the very worst of humanity trying to survive while fucking each other over.
And fuck everybody: I liked Enterprise!

I hope the marketing campaign will feature a number of different posters featuring insignias from different eras. That would be pretty cool.

I think I'm with Keckler from Television Without Pity on Enterprise... Archer was a big fucking jackass who mistreated his dog and had no clue about what was actually going on around him most of the time. T'Pol was a fucking CRACK WHORE. Reed was a prick who just liked to blow shit up. Mayweather was a potted plant for all practical purposes. Hoshi magically turned into a computer hacker when they realized that they didn't need a translator that often anymore.
No, BSG is not perfect. Sure, it's over the top oftentimes. But it's a HELL of a lot more interesting than Enterprise ever was...

So this is actually happening then? It's not going to be like Bryan Singer's proposed BSG - a pipe-dream? Abrams and his minions aren't going to be tempted off by something else, like a big-screen Banana Splits film or anything equally absurd?

Um...that link was last updated in April. In crapass T.V. Guide (which I read at the Newsstand) Abrams says they've "got a really great begining, but the script is not complete" and he "knows how important it is to respect the fans".
He's also a "huge fan" of TOS and TNG.
Sure dont sound like a reboot.

The poster is supposed to be "Clues to the direction of the next movie". Since it is the original Enterprise logo, I'd say its a good bet they are going to do something from that era which means either Robert April, Christopher Pike or the final two years of the Kirk mission. Since the colors are Yellow/Gold and Blue it reminds me of Kirk & Spock's uniform colors. Hmmmm. Whichever way they go they will have new actors for the familiar characters or brand new characters. To me, that is about as close to a reboot as you can get without saying "JMS".

"Reboot" means ditching everything that's come before and starting a new continuity. Revisiting past eras and/or characters does not inherently signify a reboot. Enterprise was not a reboot and neither will this be (insofar as we currently know).

Maybe they visited Galifrey in the past and saved the universe and were each given one "Get Out of Death" Regeneration card to play. That will explain different actors playing the familiar crew.

The absence of red implies first or second pilot uniform colors. I agree, this could be a Pike or April film. Or maybe JJ is getting rid of the red uniform color, so we don't know in advance who's going to die!

That sure as hell had better be a fake. If this is something they're actually planning on doing, I'm going to be very, very pissed.
