They've moved th date up to the 15th for the 3D version.

Is this all 3D showings? People paid a premium for the IMAX early showing on May 15. That'll piss off some folks who would've rather not paid the extra for IMAX

Also, that's getting closer to Iron Man release

I was gonna add the IMAX earlier date as we drew closer, but if they've changed it to ALL 3D showings I may have to bump the primary countdown...

1974 was when the 6-episode second season of the animated Trek first aired. The very last episode was "The Counter-Clock Incident," which made no sense whatsoever. In his novelization of the episode, Alan Dean Foster rewrote the whole thing as a bizarre Klingon trick!

"The Counter-Clock Incident" was the first appearence of Captain Robert April, who features in the Countdown to Darkness comic and appears to have a namesake BFG in the next movie.

When the first season of TAS arrived. A few scenes and some dialogue from "Yesteryear" were re-used in the 2009 movie.

Your countdown factoids are cool! Tick tock....

The earliest concepts for the animated Trek involved the crew all having young teenage cadet apprentices. There's even some concept art in The Art of Star Trek. They were all Mini Me versions of the crew. I suspect it would have been awful!

Australia and Germany join that group of countries to get it early also. Linky. So Australia would be most likely the first country where it will open.
