Hi,this is great feed back from you treksters, you all seem so interested in story lines that are complete and acurate, and the thing is you people are very right in your questioning. Man I would have anyone of you as my doctor due to your great memory from 20yrs ago to now, considering doctors don’t even remember who they were operating on 20yrs ago. The thing is everyones life is inacurate because, for example , 10yrs ago you just stop seeing your girl friend ,then a strange new beginning happens others may question, but you don’t care about some time line , you stop and go, no one cares very much. Myself, I like the future tech tools that one day will be made, maybe from one of you with the great memory and imagination. Bye.

(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)Lets all try and remember that this is a re-imagining of the franchise and that there will be plenty of little things that do not jive with Star Trek “Dogma”, so to speak. Hopefully the individuals at the helm with keep it straight and on course so we all get some enjoyment out of this movie. We got our first color tv during TOS episode and what a marvel that was when they hooked it up. I am sure that we will all marvel at this new movie and if they do screw it up, then we take can them out back and beat them senseless. Incidently, the dedication plaque on the first Enterprise does read

USS Enterprise
Starship Class
San Francisco, Calif.

Make of it what you will as no one will ever know (for sure) except Gene and he is not talking.

Live Long and Prosper…

What is it with Abrams refusing to put the titles of his films in the trailers? Was he traumatized as a kid or something?

Ugh, I so don’t care about continuity. Just give us a good story.

I think in regards to continuity and the enterprise we just have to remember the simpsons… and that wizards built it… and whenever you think theres a continuity error, just remember wizards… WIZARDS!

I think just seeing the Enterprise will break my heart all over again. This movie being good has bumped world peace off of my list of hopes for mankind, because I think good Star Trek is an important component in achieving world peace.

@5 From The Making of Star Trek by Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry, page 171, regarding the construction of the Enterprise(NCC-1701) :
“The unit components were built at the Star Fleet Division of what is still called the San Francisco Navy Yards, and the vessel was assembled in space. The Enterprise is not designed to enter the atmosphere of a planet and never lands of a planet surface.”

Further to that the dedication plaque on the bridge reads – the San Francisco Ship Yards as well.

But ultimately as Ron has stated, so what?

I’m actually really excited to see the trailer. It sounds different. Grander. And might signal a positive change.

continuity has been broken…

Who gives a rats? To change is to grow and Star Trek needs to grow or die. Let’s give the movie a chance.

Does it really matter if the Enterprise was built in space or on Earth? If you don’t want to see it because of that then don’t.

The original series Klingons did not have ridges on their forheads, but that didn’t stop *true* fans from still watching the next few series. And speaking of that, their were plenty of continuity issues with several of those shows and movies.You can see for yourself the oh so imperfect continuity of which so many “Trekkies” speak of at http://www.continuitycorner.com. If you don’t want to, I placed a bit here:

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)
2036 — Kurg says to “beam him up,” but the ship is already cloaked. And since you can’t use the transporters while cloaked, they would have to de-cloak to beam him up, thus alerting the Enterprise to their presence.

Let’s wait to see the movie before we pass judgement. I mean gosh, it’s still a whole year away.

Uh, give your head a shake because the paragraph below is from startrek.com’s library:

Launched in 2245, the original and illustrious starship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was built in the San Francisco Yards orbiting Earth. The Constitution-class starship was previously captained by Robert April and Christopher Pike, before coming under the command of Captain James T. Kirk.

So continuity has been broken in the very first footage JJ shows us. Trek lovers will be pissed and if WE don’t approve of the film, how are mainstreamers going to get motivated to shell out cash. Opening on Xmas will help this film bomb worse than Doug Nagy doing stand up comedy.
