The guy who leaked the image said they actually tried to make a JJ-verse version of the Ds9 defiant but couldn't get it to look right so they tried elsewhere for inspiration like FASA.

But it does indeed look rather like the NX-01 with the Engineering Crossbar removed.

The Franklin is possibly even smaller than Defiant though internal space wise it's to early to say it's longer or shorter.

I guess we will have to wait for the Movie to see if the Franlin is a single deck ship or not if it is then volume wise it may be smaller than most ships we've seen - obviously still much larger than a Runabout or the Delta Flyer but still by any normal comparison pretty tiny.

I know some people say it's like a Romulan warbird because of the layout but I'd say you can use that comparison because of the size too.

The first things that popped into my mind when I saw it were the wingmen Romulan Craft from the Mirror Universe in Enterprise and the NX-01 of course.

Though the FASA inspiration is there too of course (as shown in the video above).

im trying to stay up, but i had a buzy weekend.

my daughter graduated college in December and just landed her first job in her field of study and needed a car

so we have been looking for her 1st car since friday

i am recording the game incase i fall asleep

Super Bowl Trailers didn't really deliver what I wanted.
I suppose the ID4-2 one is interesting but not new Star Trek one no Rogue One teaser and no Ghostbusters so I can just shrug then at this years ones.

Bryan Fuller as Showrunner

Just popping by to recommend this as an interesting watch :

It seems like the original series was more science fictiony. The head writer of the show Dean Coontz I think wrote science fiction books. The next gen series seems more based in reality.

WOW! some advice....Bill

The "City on the Edge of Forever" is probably the best Star Trek episode of all time. It was award-winning and showed the genius of writers back in the 60's.

Spock illustrates why he is the smartest man to ever come out of Starfleet.

It featured Joan Collins. I would have taken her back to the future, or stayed in the past with her. I would not have let her die.

If I take her back to the future she could not start the passivist movement.

If I stay in the past with her, I'll tell her not to become an activist for peace. I'll explain to her the rise of Hitler caused by her taking certain actions and playing the passivitst leader role.

It did not look like Kirk blocked McCoy from saving her. Rather it looked like McCoy grabbed Kirk and stopped him from running out into the street to save her. I don't think that scene was very clear.

what makes you think he could take her to the future?

and even if you could, you would run the risk of changing history in a dozen different ways that could make matters worse

lucky if she believes you and doesnt think you are a nut

no it quite clearly shows kirk holding mccoy back

Star Trek Beyond Trailer #2

Even though this reveals more about the story, I liked the 1st trailer more. It was more fun. Also, who's the chick with the white and black face, and what actress is playing her?

Was that an NX-01 style ship in that latest trailer

STAR TREK BEYOND Concept Art Reveals a New Starship | TrekCore Blog

lol.

Anyways, I get the feeling the final fight will take place in the Enterprise saucer. Likely they are trying to tag the parts for transport back to the outpost since it's confirmed all parts are intact. The saucer is the only part confirmed that fell to the planet.

I highly doubt we'll see an NCC-1701-A yet. Enteprise must establish her legacy same with Kirk. And only one man has the right to truely destroy the Enterprise. That man is James T. Kirk.

Sad news today, not sure it belongs here but Rest In Peace Anton Yelchin.

Yeah, I just read this as well. Sad indeed. Stu's meme doesn't seem so funny now...

It's been announced, Chekhov will not be returning for the next film (if there is one). Since Anton Yelchin died after the movie was completed, they can't kill him on screen. likely they'll just write him out as being transferred to the Reliant (I am not sure when the Miranda class ships were first rolled out but I imagine it would come towards the end of the five year mission or a few years later).

http://trekcore.com/blog/2016/07/j-j-abrams-high-hopes-for-star-trek-4-says-theres-no-replacing-anton-yelchins-chekov-in-potential-sequel/

So ole' George Takei thinks the new Sulu being gay goes against Roddenberry's original vision.

That kinda flies in the face of all the crap he gave towards people complaining about the Human Torch being black, or new Ghostbusters being chick's.

I still feel depressed over his death. Anton did not deserve to go out this way.

With Star Trek Beyond set to debut in theaters later this week, Paramount Pictures, Skydance and Bad Robot today announced that the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise will return to the big screen for another voyage in Star Trek 4. In the next installment of the epic space adventure, Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk will cross paths with a man he never had a chance to meet, but whose legacy has haunted him since the day he was born: his father, played by Chris Hemsworth.

Hemsworth, who appeared in 2009’s Star Trek as the character, will return to the space saga as George Kirk to star alongside Pine. The remaining cast is also expected to return. No director or release date have been confirmed for the film.

Apparently he will be doing this right after Avengers: Infinity War Part 1. So will it be another time travel story?

Going to see ST Beyond today

Just seen it....and it was great....not the best star trek film ever made! just....great
It did slow down in places, but there was still a good amount of action pieces, the special effects were as you would expect....top notch.

even the Xindi got a mention

All in all a great film(at least i enjoyed it anyway ).
