Four if you count Insurrection. Ru'afo and the Son'a were trying to wreak vengeance on the Ba'ku who exiled them a century earlier.

Ah. True. Better a cliché, I suppose, than guys like Soran who acted all evil but didn't have anything resembling an interesting motive.

My main concern with this one is, as always, it being penned by freaking Orci and Kurtzman. I don't think I've seen a single thing they've ever written that I didn't hate.

[T'Bonz]

Yep, it's gotta be Mitchell and Dehner.

Yeah, I'm leaning more in the direction of the Gary Mitchell theory now than I was an hour ago.

Could still be wrong...but if that's Dehner in the trailer then I'd say Cumberbatch is in all likelihood the update of the old Gary Lockwood character.

The way Kirk was looking at her Carol Marcus seems more likely, but we'll see!

[Spock/Uhura Fan]

Cumberbatch sounds kind of like Bane from DKR, just clearer in his speech. There was another movie this summer/late fall like this too; I just can't remember what... The visuals are great, and I think people will like this as a nice action movie. It looks like Kirk gets Alice Eve's character as a love interest. Good for Kirk. At least I didn't make that DKR "Rise" poster for nothing because it seems fitting. I'm not sure what else to say. So, Goodnight.

I believe the writers said in an interview some months ago that they were aiming to make this one their "The Dark Knight," and that's certainly the vibe the trailers are hitting – with a slice of Bourne/Bond/Runny-jumpy-shooty-franchise and Revenge of the Sith thrown in for good measure.

Yes it looks incredible, it's gorgeous!!!

[SalvorHardin]

Seeing new footage after all these years is so damn exciting. I can't get enough.

I made some caps:

And now we know exactly what water the Enterprise is in

[StarMan]

So some of you take this as reinforcing the Mitchell theory? I thought the opposite. Hmm.

[teacake]

OOOOO CAPS!!!

How about one of Uhura in leather with the detonated background.

Me too.

That Enterprise-like ship crashing at the end is interesting; it's got slimmer and more traditionally-spaced nacelles compared to the Abramsprise. As first I thought it was the Enterprise, redesigned, but looking at it I think it's part of a different sequence from the rise out of the water shot.

[cooleddie74]

That looks like the Transamerica Pyramid in the aerial shot of San Francisco. Cool. We saw it in the last film, too, and chronologically it's been seen in skyline shots of the city dating back to the Director's Edition of TMP.

Good consistency.

[Pondslider]

Yeah, the whole "I have returned" trying to start a war and the jumping around like a genetically engineered superman might makes me think Khan more than Mitchell.

Everyone jumps like that in JJ's Trek world.
