Twilight? Damn, that's harshGorn. Not enough Gorn. If the next Trek movie doesn't have a heap-load of Gorn, I'mo abandon this li'l fixation and finally watch me some Twilight.
Guess I should stock up on glitter.

You want the videogame. It's got enough nuGorn to last a dozen lifetimes.Gorn. Not enough Gorn. If the next Trek movie doesn't have a heap-load of Gorn, I'mo abandon this li'l fixation and finally watch me some Twilight.
Sadly, it's kinda shit to play, but fun for all the Kirk/Spock banter throughout.

Aye....and the drop to a 20 dollar price tag makes it an easier pill to swallow too.

Maybe he just forgot to end that sentence with "Zone".

$20? I got it for £3.50 on Amazon!

You still paid too much.
Agreed. NuTrek is so different there was no reason to connect it to the TOS universe. The new universe was supposed to be a alternate universe but based on the TOS universe. Why did nothing from the TOS universe survive? Why is nearly everyone changed? Something should have stayed the same in the NuTrek universe but I am hard pressed to find it.
The history before the events of Nero's arrival and murder of Kirk's father remain the same. Spock, from TOS universe survived, and explained to Kirk that in his own timeline, Kirk knew his father. The characters in Star Trek 09 are still in the same stations they served in TOS.
But, folk will be obtuse.

I wonder if some people are capable of suspending disbelief at all, and if so how they ever became fans of Trek in the first place.
But was it to hard for the producers of the film to at least keep some of the original look? They changed nearly every piece f tech in either look or function. If they were going to use the TOS universes past as a jumping point somethings should have looked similar. Only one ship was destroyed so not everything would have changed. Also giving a cadet a captaincy right after his first adventure was ludicrous.
I know, suddenly the hyperliteralism and demands for absolute realism come out, ignoring the batshit insanity of the 700 previous hours of Trek.
If the result is an entertaining project, what difference does it make?
Generally, I don't like mindless dogpile votes because they don't add to the discussion and, fortunately, what's right is not determined by mob rule. But having added that to the discussion:
+1
When it means something new and more creative could have been done instead, it dilutes our cultural potential to go in circles. But if two or more things can be done without sacrificing one, fine.
Tell that to the producers of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, where an Enterprise refit somehow completely changed the Klingon species.
Yep, but tell that to the producers of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, where they gave a band of deserter criminals who destroyed the Federation flagship and created an intergalactic incident killing a dozen Klingons ("There will be no peace as long as Kirk lives!") all their old jobs back and a brand new Enterprise to continue their adventures. The heroes get rewarded at the end, just like every other story ever told.
Why would they? As I've said before it's the 21st Century, not 1964. Still the basic shapes are there in most tech. Panels with buttons. Big screens. It looks more modern in keeping with where we are in the 21st Century. Still they kept the "flip phone" communicators. Even TMP dumped those for the wrist coms. And of course TNG used the com badge. And the uniforms are clearly an update of TOS.
Do you object to the changes TMP made? The aforementioned wrist coms? The radiation sheild in the transporter room? The completely new uniforms and division colors?
