The original 2008 teaser is amazing. Still one of my favorite Trek teaser trailers of all time.

Released on January 19, 2008. Barely two and a half years after ENT aired its finale.

True but in real life human evolution wasn't artificial and designed to grow into the same model as pretty much every other race in the galaxy.

That's not science, it's bullshit.

That's not science, it's bullshit.

Yep. It's pure fantasy. It makes as much sense as anything in The Lord of the Rings. It may enhance the internal consistency of the fiction, but it has no correspondence with anything in the real world. Also, how much it enhances the fiction, and in what way, is very much up to the individual.

It's a lot of fun and the Easter eggs and continuity references are so much fun for me, but damn, the movie gives you a headache after the first 10 minutes (which are also far and away the best part of the whole film).

I remember being really intrigued by the 2009 trailer; surely they were teasing a major unknown plot development that would explain putting cadet Kirk in the big chair, right?

Nope, it was just as inexplicable in the film as it was in the trailer.

I must be stupid or something because I followed it just fine.

Chekov was 17. I still have no idea what they were thinking beyond they had to give him something to do, no matter if it made sense or not.

In all honesty, Kirk being on academic suspension, he should've been ineligible to take a place in the chain of command.

Chekov just being there already made no sense.

'09 was full of stupidity.

 

[Set Harth]

Chekov just being there already made no sense.

You know the answer to that.

 

[Tosk]

Of all my complaints about the absurdities in ST09, Chevok's presence doesn't even make the top fifty list.

"But he was born four years before Prime Chekov. That makes no sense."

Welcome to history changing after 2233. It doesn't have to make sense to, well, make sense.
