You gotta understand that most Trekkies have not an ilking of an ounce of reality in them. To them, reality is not canon.Shit, my cell phone from Verizon looks more advanced than Kirk's old communicator.
The only thing about the new chair that seems weird is the armrests are tilted in. I think I'd rather have them be flat.
Actually, I'm reminded of the Defiant's center seat from DS9 with regard to that feature.
McCoy is wearing one on his pinky.
Nowhere Man
Commodore
The new chair looks like a combo of the TOS chair and TWOK chair

Reality? Last I checked a verizon phone can't call outer fucking space (nor anywhere else without a cell tower pretty damned close).

"Scotty, can you hear me now? Good... now beam us the fuck up!"
I agree with most of you. As much as i like the old chair, although it was the least practical looking part of it, this one is by far the best version to see on the big screen.
This is more faithful than TMPs chair was. although, like this, it had an entirely new production crew, almost.
The soap box chair would look awful to todays audiences.
I think they have done is justice in a faithful way.

I think you've found TOS forum a new motto."I like my old chair"
But he didn't say it is more advanced, he said it looks more advanced. The whole "It may look like a piece of 60's junk, but it's actually super powerful" argument just doesn't fly with the audience, that's hopefully going to see the movie.You gotta understand that most Trekkies have not an ilking of an ounce of reality in them.

I whipped this up quick, it does look like there are "safe" areas on the arm rests.

Looks like the controls are at the front of the armrests.

Bingo, we're talking about visual appearances here. And I actually get pretty good reception on my phone, though I have yet to be able to place a call to the I.S.S.

The I.S.S ??? You are an operative from the mirror universe ?

LOL. Thanks.
Although, i seem to have missquoted Kirk on that one.

That looks pretty close to what i can see. I like the fact that the left arm looks as if it has a physical roller ball interface aswel, kinda like those 3D mouse things for computers, or a 3D ipod, in this instance, a click wheel wont look out of place on this bridge.
Given that Kirk and Pine are right handed, im guessing that the right side interface will have a multi function screen and controls, much like the close ups on TNG era Trek. Or its a cup holder and tray for munchies when he gets bored.

I see what you're saying, baxart, but have you ever nodded off with your hand on the mouse and accidentally clicked something you didn't mean to? This new arrangement still has Kirk's hand resting across controls while resting his arms in a neutral position. Anything that causes his hands to twitch could launch an ion pod by accident.
Of course, I only remember Kirk nodding off in his chair once, and he wasn't at his best that day, so ...
GAH - the way Shatner's sitting in that pic looks like he has to take fuckin' piss!!
