Senior officers to the Bridge

[mikailborg]

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.



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:

The crew shot on movieblog.ugo.com (linked from the TrekMovie page) implies that the uniforms use the "colored overtunic atop black undershirt" construction seen in some old Classic episodes. So, maybe Kirk just temporarily lost the overtunic somehow. (He does have a bandaged hand in the bridge shot.)

And I'm with you, the female uniform should have the pants option if desired... there's precedence for that in Classic, as well.
