First Look At Alien From New Trek Film - Serious

The Vorta, the space-amoeba, and even to some extent things like the Tholians were all pretty bold and interesting attempts - but they were the exception, not the norm.
In light of your evidence, I will concede.
However, It is not like I'm asking for every Star Trek alien to based on the Stargate universe, where every alien is nearly Human and literally descended from Earth. I would, simply, like the majority Star Trek's aliens to remain largely consistent with the Progenitor storyline presented in TNG.
I am correct in assuming, that no one wants to see a Gungan, Toydarian, or other CGI-type alien in Star Trek.
What else will I do for the next eleven months? After all, isn't the motto of this forum, "We have nothing to post, but fear itself".
Can anyone verify if this is a legitimate image of the revamped Enterprise or a fan imagining? I was searching on E-bay and this appeared on a listing for a "Trek 11" t-shirt. Link is to the image, not the actual auction listing.

Is it?
Ridiculous. Terrible motto.

Jar Jar Trek.
Thank you for the clarification ChancellorJake. 
That's the scariest thing I've read all week.
If by "based on real concepts" you mean "appropriates the terms from a few real concepts, then tortures, rapes and murders them before selling the resulting bullshit to the public as 'realistic'," then yes, Star Trek tech is based on real science.
In all fairness, Jar Jar Binks was a rubbish, ineffectual, comic relief character as written. The fact he was a CGI just made the situation worse for the old school fans. Of course, the Ewoks in the original trilogy were also a painfully obvious child-friendly element and they don't get anywhere near the same level of hatred. Fortunately, Trek has always been aimed at a higher target age than Lucas' fairytale transplanted into a space setting.
I dunno. I still dream of a pile a burning Ewoks as the End of Episode VI.
Were not the qualifyers "(well mostly), even if extremely vaguely and optimistically" enough !?

The Ewoks never bothered me.
When "Star Wars" first hit, Lucas insisted that it was a story for kids. That too many people have gotten too wrapped up in expectations that it be more is their lookout.

Look at the damn pictures yourself.
It doesn't even look like TOS.
Woah you're absolutely right. I didn't notice how incredibly inconsistent these pictures are with TOS depictions of Starfleet Academy. (assuming that's what these sets are supposed to be.)
The fact that they are willing to completely ignore what TOS clearly showed us as Starfleet Academy means that they'll very likely ignore everything else that TOS showed us. You're right. You can definitely infer from these pictures and TOS Starfleet Academy scenes that JJ and co. have changed everything. As a Star Trek fan, I demand appropriate restitution from Paramount.
