I can't wait to see that of the Aenar character.

I’m very excited for Hemmer. Bruce Horak is a really cool person, an activist, actor, and incredible artist. Not to mention that being legally blind his casting is an extremely rare instance of authenticity in casting characters with disabilities.

A subtle plug for Ocean Spray Cranberry beverages.

If her other ancestors were regular humans, then it's unlikely she would show any abilities noticeably enhanced. However, we don't know the makeup of her other ancestors yet (a hidden enclave of augments?). As for Augments procreating, there's no reason to think they wouldn't. There is the Wrath of Khan baby in the deleted scenes as well.

It would be interesting if her personal story was that she knows she is Khan's descendant, still has enhanced abilities because of it, and is constantly taking great pains to hide it in order to fit in.

Redoing what they did with Bashir in later episodes of DS9...

 

[Tuskin38]

That's the issue?

He joined Color Me Badd. People have their early '90s phases.

That's just the lighting.

Yeah, the lighting that creates the shadow in just the right place.

It's a bit more than that though, there's a definite edge that runs around the entire visible saucer.

Granted it could possibly be one of those reverse optical illusions, but as @Serveaux said, we'll just have to wait and see.

Could They possibly be using something much closer to TOS Enterprise for a different Constitution Class ship?

 

[Noname Given]

Sooo...he let them grow a bit after the events of "The Cage"...

No, there's a shadow concavity that the central hub blends into, and it flattens out into a ring again at the outer circumference. It's there.

It's easier to see in some of the wireframe displays that they fill so much space with on the bridge. Those displays match the current model (unlike those used early on IN STD).

With the Uhura focus on this trailer ‪‪I wonder if they won’t be releasing similar character-based teasers for other cast members in the next few days.

I'm sure we'll get a couple a week for awhile.

Everything edge etc. lighted on the bridge looks very dance-friendly, but not eye-friendly if you work there for an 8-hour shift.

That Uhura trailer is kinda sad, if you think about it. "Who knows where I'll end up."

Sitting in that same damn chair for the rest of her career.

 

[cooleddie74]

Although she did eventually end up as the Captain of her own starship. But not for another half-century or so.

 

[Turbo]

Please tell me they didn't crash the Enterprise again.

Other than that, love the new teaser. "That's not how linguistics works!" cracked me up.

Books? Fan film?

Canon now. The Leondegrance, whose historical milestones were on display at Starfleet Academy in the season premiere of PIC.
