I, too like the visuals seen. it's clear of the path seen that it follow ENT more and more (think about it: When we saw the Defiant in IAMD, we saw the TOS set-up with modern visuals, like it would have been in the 60's had such SFx's existed back then. some folks wondered why the tech declined from the era of ENT/Mirror ENT to TOS-Sorta-R. what if the defiant, hell the whole Clean-JF style trek ships existed in but one reality and ENT/Mirror-ENT entrially another? between ST:FC and the space-vampires in Space battleship yamato/Star Blaz... , err, ENT, i'm fairly certain the space time continum is well worn like a Thia hooker on Nickle night...)
*breaths* anyway, NuTOS is clearly following ENT's tech line of advancement. does that mean that our beloved ships once they cross the NuTMP line will look different in the future?
who knows? we'll know next month.
and just because i love to pee in the soup, with all those beer cans tossed in, with the Kelvin's hull number of 0514, and seemingly a single nacelle ship, does that make it a Saladin class? a homage to JF's beloved and GR derided rules be fucked?
or is that 0 A legal reason to affront the JF estate once more? anybody with legal ears taking note of activity that way?

It's definately not 'canon', considering the story requires Kirk and Spock to be aboard a Romulan ship fighting Romulans aboard that ship, before the events of TOS...

soooooo.... *breaths deeply*
IS THE KELVIN A SALADIN CLASS OR WHAT???????? (i figured that would cause some discussion besides nuKirk's Libido )
Yes, I can't deny feeling a bit of Nabooian traits in the overall theme of TMP-A (even the parts that are burning, from Gospel of Attack of the Clones, Chapter one, verse three)

Remind me to never, ever, ever click on an imageshack link again. Took my system down with all the ads and crap that were SUPPOSED to be blocked.
I checked for spyware just in case, it was definately a hit from imageshack. (You're not the only one to be so affected, I've noticed a LOT of sites getting worse and worse ads of late.)
Also, read the EW blurb on the new Trek...
The plot of the movie is to EXPLICITLY 'reset the canon', so that nothing from TOS onward ever happened.

Can't we just accept that it is a different continuity altogether, like the many Transformers series? They all have similar backgrounds, with much of the history being the same, and many of the same characters ( and character histories for that matter), but they are accepted to be each a completely different "universe". I don't see why this couldn't apply to Trek as well. What we have known up untill now could be considered the "Trek Generation 1". This would also allow things like The Starfleet Museum continuity to be possible, without ignoring Enterprise and other series, as it could take place in a whole different universe.
If the movie doesn't murder what has been established as Trek gospel so far, I'd have no problem accepting the new movie as a sort of "Trek Generation 2". We wouldn't have to try to fit any of the redesigns into established continuity. Although, it would be fun to try and bend, and hypothesize, and ignore, to try and get this movie to fit into what we already know as Star Trek.
