something that just occured to me... with Nu-Ent being a litterary reboot of the TOS storyline, does that mean that any TMP & TNG era based on this new time line could be changed to reflect the results of the end of movie? ship designs? whole events? Q and the borg, even?
hehe, teh borq...
does that mean that paramount will honor the books (the current post-nemmy-no-more-borq line, as well as i suppose the concurant STO timeline?) as two equally current and cannon timelines...
or will they say, what ever is currently in film, the real macoy?

From what I gather, the party line is that "current" timeline will continue (Spock having simply disappeared) while the new film is in and of itself a tangent universe where events will play out differently.
It's not unprecedented for a franchise to be split like this, hell the comic book industry is practically built on it.
Not that it matters to me much, I haven't read a Trek novel in well over a decade.

We'll also likely never see the TMP or TNG-era results of this timeline anyway... unless it's in comics. Any other movies made will likely stay in the TOS era.

sounds like waving a magic wand to me... oh look, all better. parallel or tangent universe. now everyone is happy.

Hmmm...I wonder if they'll have any reference to Archer's crew.

not unless they pull a nu-TMP/nu-TNG...
think about. if they pull this off (the first serious remake of something other than a horror film), from a long term view, they could "re-actor famous series from 'back then'", all for the mighty buck/yen/C-bill. i wonder if they base the odds on how well some fanfilms do (obviously, i refer to TNV/PhzII, since the others give effort but still cring-worth, as much as we love them too)?
i dunno. i'm losin' my train-o-tho....

Sexies. I agree, great CGI job. The simple TOS colors and surfaces (except for those sickbay pillows, nice) all lend themselves well to simulation, and the lighting was spot-on.

This image is an insert in the new TOS DVD packages.. Trekmovie got hold of it, but amusingly they're not sure what DAC is. Prolly a game? Anyway, I wonder if those Starfleet ships will be background ships in the movie, or if they're just made up for this image. They don't look terrible.
I hope not all Romulan ships will look similar to Nero's, though. The main ship fighting the Enterprise here looks fine, but a few similarities with the Romulan ships we're familiar with wouldn't go amiss.
Well, it's not a Dominion or Klingon derivative for once, that ship-building doctrine. I'm liking this Berman/Braga-free production more and more. Looks like a small Hope class-related ship in the background, being shot at. Or maybe they're small vulcan frigates.

If those are supposed to be Romulan ships (and Nim is correct in pointing out the newness of the designs as opposed to what we've seen before), then I think that's great. However, the ship in the upper right corner looks too much like the Xindi-insectoid ship, so I'm wondering if these are real movie ships.
There are two other Starfleet ships besides the Enterprise, one with swept-back wings that looks like a spoon, and another, four-nacelled ship.
