Indeed.
Hopefully it will be as brief as possible.

TREK XI isn't a complete continuity reboot. If anything it'll be an aesthetic reboot what with the Pike-era Enterprise looking somewhat different than the classic TOS ship we're familiar with. ENTERPRISE still happened in the TREK universe. You don't jettison ten other movies, an animated series and 704 live-action TV episodes just because J.J. Abrams took over from the Beebs and Paramount wants to "sex up" the movie franchise a bit.
If Orci implies it's not a reboot it IS not a reboot.
Yeah, because if the Enterprise doesn't look EXACTLY the same as it did in 1966 then it MUST be a complete reboot, despite what the writers, producer and director says. God knows they have a lot to gain by lying about it...
Why not? If you can accept that Kirty Alley and Robin Curtis are the same person (Saavik)... or that James Cromwell and Glenn Corbett are the same person (Zefram Cochrane)... or that Christopher James Miller and David Tristan Birkin are the same person (Rene Picard), then it should be no trouble to believe that the Abrams Enterprise is the same as the TOS Enterprise. Just think of it as recasting the part and move on.
Yeah and The Wrath of Khan made it quite clear Saavik looked like Kirsty Alley. What's the difference?
And even if it is a reboot, isn't it more important that its a quality film that adheres to the feel and themes of Star Trek? And to know that we'll have to wait and see it.

If you want to talk about the aesthetics of the new movie, please take it to the Trek XI forum. Let's keep this one on track, yes?
Would anything change your mind? ^^^
Then it's useless to discuss this further. ^^^
Technically there's already been TWO nods to ENTERPRISE in a TREK movie.
In NEMESIS.
The "USS Archer" being a Federation starship assembled with several others to intercept Shinzon's thalaron weapon...and the mention/confirmation that the "where no man has gone before" speech from the franchise was uttered by Zefram Cochrane himself, as seen in the flashback recording of Cochrane dedicating the Warp Five Complex in "Broken Bow."
