No. Nobody does.
So I think it's finally safe to come out now.

Don't forget smelling it, especially if you watch it in a theater full of malodorous Trekkies.

Yep. Loved it.
That's definitely a second-hand observation, though - connecting references to the space program with a 21st century Trek series.
All those "alleged nods to the early space program" actually remind me of the fact that when I first watched "Star Trek" every week, the "early space program" was an ongoing reality - in the news just about every day.
We had not yet landed men on the Moon, you see.
That's what really pleases me about the description of the teaser - rather unexpectedly, it puts "Star Trek" back into the context from which it sprang and where it belongs. :thumbsup:

Re: Description of the teaser trailer...
I vaguely recall people criticizing the "spy" at aintitcool.com who said he'd read the script and the Enterprise being built at Area 51. Part of the criticism was that was just wrong because the Enterprise was built in space; Orci later also refuted the notion that the spy had seen the script. But I'm curious s to whether, indeed, in an early draft, Area 51 was mentioned, or that's what the spy took it to be because it seemed as reasonable a place as any for the Enterprise to be built if, for some bizarre reason, it was to have been so on earth rather than in space.

You better not smell that pillow you just farted in.
The Startrek guys of Kirk's generation have not much in common with the pilots of the sixties. Kirk and his buddys are sipping cocktails while they are going to warp. That said, hey, maybe they show him throw up.
Woudn't that be a first.

Re: Description of the teaser trailer...
I guess it comes down to "do they show it being assembled on the Paramount backlot?"
Well, YEAH, there is that...

Re: Description of the teaser trailer...
Well, I'd say that's incorrect. I think it was 'Parallels' where a small shot of Utopia Planitia was shown. It was pretty clear to see that a saucer section and other components of what appeared to be a Galaxy-class starship were being constructed on the Martian surface.

I don't know what you mean. Next-Generation observation would actually make sense.
That's romantizism. Or conviction? If that's what it takes to get a good movie and some kind of audience for it (and another movie), I'll suck up <shudder>.
Re: Description of the teaser trailer...
The one thing that I felt that the trailer needed to AVOID was playing to "the Trek crowd" with ANYTHING that would tell the audience, up-front, that they were watching something "Trekkish." I said that it needed to avoid even sounding slightly "Trekkish" until at least 2/3 of the way through.
It needs to do that to get the audience excited about it, BEFORE they know that it's Trek. The reaction needs to be "Wow, that's really cool... hey, wait... THAT'S STAR TREK?!?"
Not what it would be if the typical "fannish" suggestions got followed: "Oh, jeez, they're doing another one of THOSE?"
If this is an accurate description, I think it's great.

Re: Description of the teaser trailer...
My thoughts exactly. Even if it's just symbolic, I love the imagery of an army of workers constructing an actual starship on Earth. Nothing would communicate the sheer immense SIZE of this thing than to see it sitting on the ground in the middle of your average construction yard.
Yeah you got some sense of scale during the drydock scene in TMP, but the whole sequence was still so fantastical that it was hard to really RELATE to what we were seeing as a real object. We were just looking at a really cool scifi spaceship.
This teaser wants us to think that the Enterprise could actually exist in OUR world someday, and I think that's cool as hell.
