Empire Magazine pics!

[StarTrek1701]

... you were saying...?

My thoughts exactly....

Hubba, hubba!

My wife actually fainted watching that pic. Hey, I did predict that gay men would find him very attractive. Where's my prize?

The FEW minor details of which I may not approve are FAR outnumbered by the MANY things I love about the new movie. Things like the hostess station, glare on the viewscreen, bright spotlights in our eyes... hopefully will be resolved in the shown film. I will probably say, "Glad they fixed that," and continue enjoying what, I believe, will be an excellent movie.

QFT.

Stop pouting Spock!

Bridge Window

I have mixed feelings about the bridge window. I must admit that a HUD/viewscreen overlay is a rather neat idea, but an actual window? Does that mean that the TOS boxed-set DVD intro is now retro-canon?

Fist shouting Spock, now pouting Spock!

What are they gonna come up with next?

Better?

That's freaking adorable.

Which one to put in the wallet....hmmmm....

Awww!

Arghhh...I seriously dislike this slash shit...

And no it's not because it's gay men slash.I dislike lesbian slash, straight slash whatever
Slash of any kind really.


That's the end of my little rant.Carry on now

So what's the big deal with the viewscreen that shows the bow of the ship? Picard's viewscreen showed the stern of his ship, or at least the nacelles, often enough. It's just a matter of personal taste for the skippers to frame their camera views to either include or exclude the top of the saucer...

Seriously, I doubt the final NCC-1701 model (which may well differ from the teaser one) is really going to feature this window on the outside. And having what looks like windows on the inside is classic Star Trek, nay, classic scifi in general. Rather than a window that may overlay images, it could simply be a viewscreen that can show a windowlike view.

These pictures are gorgeous! Love the one of Spock choking Kirk!

Ah, you can see the window on the bridge dome in that photo -- it is in the shadow but is there.

I don't think so ... I copied that picture and amped-up the brightness and contrast and all I see are "bridge clamps" on the front and sides of the dome and aren't the right aspect ratio to match the main viewer behind Spock. I also notice that this Enterprise has a smooth hull, whereas the tiny piece visible behind Spock has several raised plates not unlike the Kelvin. Finally, the deflector grid doesn't cut through the middle of the dash in "NCC-1701" ... it's off center.

These are minor differences, but they suggest the Enterprise seen in the first trailer doesn't match the actual movie ship.

If you look closely, you can see the viewscreen, I think. I cropped it out then also changed the contract/brightness to highlight it. It is in the center of the picture.

Definitely not the view screen as Psion is correct. Here is a bigger view:

You can see those "viewport" type things on both sides of the one in the front/center. No light is shining through it (as it is implied the inside of the ship is well lit at this point of construction.) Also proportionately it wouldn't work out the way the pic depicts, as Psion also pointed out.

If it's a "screensaver" or "wallpaper" choice, I wonder why they wouldn't choose the warping starfield effect? Seems like an obvious choice. Oh well. What's there is better than an aquarium of virtual fish.

If it is a real window, I hope it and the conn are not offset 36 degrees from center. A view like that could be disconcerting while in motion.

 

[LaxScrutiny]

Haha, look at the look on Sulu's face. He's like... "Holy shit, WHAT did you just say we're going to do?"

Quinto's Spock looks REALLY good. HOW am I going to wait until this thing comes out?

I thought this was neat:

I thought he was like... "In about 40 years I'm not going to invite you to my wedding..."

Don't worry! We will!! (I never knew what slash was until I came to TrekBBS... I feel so deprived...)

So the T. in James T. Kirk now stands for "Twink"?



Just screwin wit' ya.

In the words of George Takei, "Oh, my!"

 

[JoeZhang]

I think it really is a window - I think the designers have looked at it and thought, "why even have the bridge on the top if it's not for visual access?" and used that as their basis rather than 40 years of back story.

 

[Brutal Strudel]

In "Requiem for Methuselah," we see Kirk lookingh into the bridge of a Flint-miniaturized Enterprise. Seems TOS was unclear on whether it was awindow, too. (Heh, "unclear".)
