But I think STID has started with low expectations, too.
As Devon mentioned above, that is Gabe Koerner's version of the Enterprise. It's years old.
Can't help but wonder if the company just used Google and went with whatever they felt like.
Well, it is a BETTER design.
This post is everything wrong with the internet.
Gabe's design is awful. It looks like someone forgot to put the cover on a model.
RAMA
No, expectations were pretty high:
"According to early tracking, Paramount and Skydance Productions’ sequel to 2009’s “Star Trek,” opening three weeks from Friday on May 17, is gearing up for a stellar $85 million opening, which would mark a record debut for the sci-fi franchise. Analysts suggest the 3D actioner could exceed $90 million, depending on word of mouth."

I think STB will do about 50M-60M opening weekend and under 200M total domestically.
in other words, everyone has the right to have opinions as long as you agree with them. I guess
I had an idea it might be someone's Photoshoppery gag, but it's apparently a legit tie-in product.

Whether it's available anywhere outside Malaysia, however, isn't specified.
If his permission wasn't obtained in advance, (and these days, who knows?) I can only hope that a word from a business agent to someone at Paramount will eventually result in Gabe seeing a few shekels (ringgit?) earned from the promotion.
Yes, that's totally it. 100%in other words, everyone has the right to have opinions as long as you agree with them. I guess
Since it's the Enterprise, doesn't Paramount still own all rights to it?
Gabe can't claim ownership of the basic design, no, but it seems that if an artist's work is used in the packaging of a licensed tie-in product, the artist ought to be due a consideration for having performed the work, even if it wasn't commissioned for that purpose. That's just good business practice.
Which may describe many companies, but not Paramount.
I just wondered if artistic license applies to the work if it's as tightly controlled as something like the Enterprise design. Obviously Paramount asserts their rights pretty strongly.
Watching the video, I don't think Bones is at all hostile in his intentions. He just doesn't take the break-up seriously. Maybe he thinks it is inevitable they will get back together?
This will be the first time
I seem to remember them arguing in ITD when Spock sacrificed himself on that planet (in the volcano) and she was pissed he didn't seem to care what that would do to her. (and of course Kirk said something similar. They kind of double teamed him)

Agreed. Bones is not being xenophobic.
He is treating Spock as a mate or buddy.
What'ja do? is the right question to ask.
Yes, even with a smirk or a bit of a smile.
Connotations of was it something Spock did or said that caused it the breakup.

What? People don't smirk to each other to try and half joke a question to soften the blow?
They do. Good friends do anyway.
Thus, I'm entirely comfortable with the exchange between Bones and Spock.
IMHO, people reading xenophobia, bullying etc into the short conversation are over analysing.
It happens a lot - not with Paramount/Trek, but in general. Most times it's settled with a simple email from the original artist with an invoice attached. Hopefully he notices and can get a few pennies for the happy accident.
