Oh, come now Dan, it’s all in good fun and in the recognition that he is different. It’s similar to calling Ahnuld an “Austrian Oak”. Nothing hateful (or racist) implied, unless you’re looking for it.

And yes, we’re certainly a long way from the Trek utopia, and I doubt even in another 5,000 years will we reach it, no matter how much it might hurt.

And Ed…”light-in-the-space-boots”?

jc in chicago…”twinks”?

Just goes to show we’re a looooong way from accepting those who are different, a keynote part of the basic Trek philosophy…

If all else fails, they can bring Kal Penn in to hook up with John Cho; the result?

@Mark

Thanks for that link! IMHO it was a very bad decision to go with that particular photographer for that shot. I don’t know what they were thinking.

creepy photos

Honestly out of the entire cast the only “featureless” faces are Quinto and Pine, and I think that’s just because the photos are from a magazine shoot. If you look at the scenes from the film, they don’t look that way.

“Twinks,” damn… haven’t heard THAT term in a LONG time.

I get queasy with all the hairless, featureless, boyish faces. What is this, Twink Trek?

I hope its the lighting from the EW photo shoot that makes Spock’s skin look plastic.It looks to me that its the same tone as Data’s from TNG.

@David,

The colour of Kirk’s uniform has been a frequent question around the web.

According to MTV,

“When asked why Kirk was wearing black instead of the standard yellow captain’s shirt, Lindelof said that the black uniform is “significant” to the story surrounding this scene.”

Hope you guys are right about Spock’s skin tone.

Why does all the pictures of Kirk have him without the colored tunic?

That is Kirk behind McCoy in the window shot. Are they wearing their ‘dress uniforms’ in the picture? Also, I bet the reflection in the window is a ship, but witch one?

Never saw MI3, but i really enjoyed Cloverfield. It may not be logical, but I have faith that the movie will live up to my expectations (fingers crossed).

Mission Impossible 3 wasn’t terrible, and I thought Cloverfield (despite some dumb moments) was fairly unique and fun, but between the writers for Fringe and Transformers, I’m not expecting anything extraordinary.

good point on the vulcan skin, Zero.

I’m loving the images too.

@Ed, I see where you’re coming from with the MTV-transformers vibe. However, I’ll counter with the fact that JJ is the man in charge of the project and won’t let it fall like that. I think It’ll have cool twists and will be intelligent in design. (I hope, hehe)

I really dug Mission Impossible 3 and Cloverfield (for the creativity and experience that was).

It looks as if it was just Entertainment Weekly’s lighting didn’t agree with the makeup designed for the movie set. They’ve got like a million bright lights on the actors, which seems to be causing the plastic look.

I’m getting a “Transformers” vibe, the whole thing seems a little too “MTV” for the younger crowed to me. Can’t tell much from pictures though, so it’ll have to wait until Vic slams — I mean… does an early review for it. (Come on, I’m counting on you, man!)

And then there’s Nero… meh? How did Shinzon from Nemesis get back into the movies? I think to counter the light-in-the-space-boots George Takei, they’re going to try and give the new Sulu a macho mean-guy look. Otherwise the audience would already guess his future.

All I’m looking forward to is a revolutionary look at the future (not really seeing it yet), and the optimistic outlook for space development. If that catches, I’m happy. If there’s a Space Elevator scene, I’ll be ecstatic.

On Spock: Remember with the green blood it’s possible that they’re trying to make his skin look less “pink”. It’s rational (to me) that his skin would look different. Still… the shine is a bit much.

The images they’re leaking are just awesome. I’m pleased that the Enterprise looks sufficiently advanced to my eye, and the images of the Kelvin… wow… nice detail on that.
