Does anybody else think something fishy is going on here?
We have seen pictures of the crew and the ship in detail. The commercials are on tv, the preview is on everywhere.....The producers are showing 25-40 minute long previews to the press and seemingly, anyone who can figure out how to get to these showings. All of the story details have been leaked/confirmed and misinformation denied.They have pretty well let all the cats out of the bag and we are still 6 months away from the actual movie release?
This is weird, and not standard practise! Either there is some kind of huge twist to the story that hasnt been released.....or something else is going on?......or somebody forgot to tell the marketing department that the release was moved to May?!
I bet you if the old crew was back and with the old Enterprise...Mike would still hate it...it's in his nature.
I was kinda hard on Mike saying that I felt his stance was
like a "silly" rule because it seemed like ANY reimagining
of the classic cast had nothing to offer---and I had noticed him
say simillar things about other re-boots and such scenarios
so I felt a bit more justified than usual.
I apologize if terming Mike's stance as "silly" is too harsh..everyone's
entitled to their opinions---regardless, I STILL haven't seen
Mike budge a bit on this new Trek thing
Speaking somewhat seriously about your quip Hec^^^...
I hope that this movie is a huge hit and ends with a surprise cameo not just from Nimoy but from all the surviving TOS cast members and computer
inserted images of the ones that have passed away (Kelley, Doohan)---
that's the best they could do for the "old fans" (and it'd be pretty neat!)

I've been wondering the same thing. It seems awfully early to give out as many spoilers that have been out there. I'm surprised that they even have shown any of the scenes with Nimoy in them as I imaging that is what will bring in the old timers (like me). I don't think that there are any hidden endings or anything like that, so the only thing that I can think of is that Paramount is trying to create the normal buzz/"point-counter-point" that purists and non-purists would start once the movie released. In other words "get the arguments out of the way now."
possible spoiler!
From what I've read about this being a new parallel with Nero destroying the old time-line, I think that they will word it that we don't know if the old timeline is really destroyed so that the fans can have both universes for stories, nostalgia, etc. I don't think that they will just kill TOS (Shatner/Nimoy) off. Generations killing Kirk left a lot of bad tastes in people's mouths. Not to make this post longer, but what do we call this version. Since it is technically TOS is it the new original series? TNOS?
>the whole "Kirk driving a car" thing is the tip of the iceberg
That kinda bugs me too; but it's something Trek has suffered from since it's beginning: the idea that what we in the audience consider "classic" will be so in a hundred or so years. Kirk speeding in a classic car is symptomatic. (As it was when Paris did it on Voyager.) I'd prefer to see something new considered classic (like something done by another race, or something humans did during the years between now and when the story takes place ) OR see the detritus of our day elevated to classic status. (Which is tricky to do 'cos you have to make it convincing. "Yes, the early 21st century "reality shows" were complex morality plays humans used to stage as a way of teaching social values. The characters on these shows were presented to the public as objects of ridicule...")
>Does anybody else think something fishy is going on here?
Sadly, no. I had a friend who works in tv explain that a lot of research went into movie ads and it was discovered that the audience reacts a LOT better to an ad that summarizes the entire movie, including the end. People really DON'T like surprises any more. The Trek hype seems like that principle taken to the next level.
