Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

That's one of the Yorktown/Franklin uniforms (see the Dubai pics for loads), which kinda resemble the flight suits from Into Darkness. Nice pic.
 
'Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Bones & co' - well, ok. ^
I guess some complained that in this reboot Uhura apparently 'replaced' Bones in the trio, and some rational people said they could just make it a quadrumvirate since a modern trek could handle being less about the usual dudes.... and star trek beyond maybe followed that suggestion and will give us that! just try to not pay too much attention to the fact that it's maybe going to be the far more revolutionary and interesting route of making it all about four men. :shrug:

tl dr; here's hoping that the promotion of this movie, so far, is not too reflective of the tone of the movie itself.
JJ&co weren't flawless as a creative team, but there are certain things they absolutely got right, and it took trek 'only' 50 years. I'm a tos fan just like everyone here, but I don't have nostalgia for how things were in the 60s and I really don't need to see the new team trying to 'restore' old dynamics and tropes at any cost in spite of what was done in the first movies.

The way that article (and many others) is worded reminds me that, in the end, it feels like for all the talks about the 'trek progressiveness' and trek 'spirit' by some trek fans, it seems some people love trek first foremost for his more conservative elements and thus the stuff Gene couldn't do because he still was a dude making a show in the 60s.

I think this scene is after the Enterprise crash. Spock and McCoy are helped by any ship (perhaps Franklin) in the scene in which they are transported. After he was medicated, Spock exchanges his uniform and returns to stop Krall. It seems Jaylah is everywhere.

Yes, it does.
 
Maybe the group , or part of it, reunites on that ship which is the same she shows Scotty in the trailer/other still.
 
Agreed. Pegg and Jung have also said that in writing STB, they have chosen not to address certain plot devices from the earlier two movies, especially from STiD.
This device was a bullshit. Khan could have been transported to a ship in orbit and hidden the warp trail, except for Scott. It would be more sophisticated, more intelligent.
 
I remember that in a STNG episode, a alien ship tried to hide the trail warp, but Data discovered a way to find the trail. why not Scott?

Its Khan after he's enough time to know how 23rd century tech works, in a universe where genetically engineered people can correctly figure out a guy murdered someone based watching them give a speech.
 
I'm keenserly awaiting the new trailer.

I'm sure we'll see him in STB.

I've decided not to watch the new trailer. Just happy to know if and when it gets released and is doing it's bit promoting the movie.

I don't mind watching further interviews with cast & crew; or even some short behind the scenes footage.

Not sure how everyone else feels? I want to sit in the theatre with as little preconception as possible.
