Teaser trailer: Canon or Metaphor?

[Holytomato]

"It's a metaphor. A great, big practical joke of a metaphor."

Naw, its a Valentine To The Fans tm.

Besides, the Star Trek XI Enterprise design is what Roddenberry & Co wanted the Enterprise to look like since 1964.

I've seen this posted--possibly by you--several times across the BBS, but have yet to see any actual proof.

See, this explanation makes even less sense than the original question (or at least what I thought the original question was). You don't care if the trailer footage is in the movie, but you're worried about whether or not the trailer footage is "canonical"? I'm afraid my response is still, why does it matter?

Ever heard of the old saying "You can lead them to the water, but you can't make them drink"?

It applies here.

Oh, well. I don't even care anymore. Peace.

Do you know what is interesting about The Wrath of Kahn, compared to other Trek films...

Kirk and Kahn are never on screen together, except for via viewscreen. Also Kirk doesn't get the chance to Kick Arse, and I think that's what makes Khan a good villain, and why the relationship works in that film.
