Senior officers to the Bridge

Paramount has released several stills from next year's Star Trek movie. Of course, since I want everything on that big screen to be a surprise, I was able to resist checking them out...

... for all of about twenty seconds.

The new bridge and the crew

TrekMovie.com is the source website. I'm seeing some new Galactica influence on this bridge set, but interestingly, it's as though Trek intends to take its bright future back from BG, thankyouverymuch. I'm thrilled to see this, this isn't the rust-colored Ops of DS9, or the mood-lit bridge of the Voyager - this is a ship that's Boldly Going.

Do my eyes deceive me? Abrams brought back the miniskirts, and tossed in short sleeves as well! In fact, the uniforms are remarkably similar to the old Theiss designs. I'm more and more pleased with the thought that this won't be revisionist Trek, but Classic Trek for the 21st century. I think that's a bit brave.

So, a quick poll, for those who clicked through the cut. As usual, feel free to discuss further in the comments:

I like the fact that they are pulling things from TOS. Since this movie is suppose to be before TOS then we should see things that were there. Having an all new set up and uniforms and everything would make me sad. I'm glad to see that someone who never watched Trek is actually doing some research as to not piss of the fans. I'm acutally looking forward to seeing this one. I hate to say this as a Trek fan (mostly TNG) but I had no desire to see the last movie.

The last movie was just... okay. Hardly the worst of the series, but I just can't say that you missed all that much. The last excellent film was certainly First Contact IMHO.
