Odd suggestion re: "the Trailer"

Interesting theory.

I suspect the reality of the situation is somewhere in the middle. A placeholder makes sense, but they must have known we would over analyze every frame and shot in that trailer.

Will be funny if it turns out we were analyzing a ship that won't be in the movie

Kinda like the Enterprise on the TMP poster, eh?

That's a great example, yeah. I was only a teenaged kid at the time myself... and information wasn't as readily available then as it is today. So I really expected the ship to look like it did in the posters and so forth. And, of course.. it didn't. (The poster looked more like the TOS ship than the movie ship did, too)
