I ran across more info on SyFy Portal about the newest Star Trek movie coming out. Turns out that the viral site does show up the forth picture but only for one second of the interior of the original Enterprise so I likely missed that, but to make life easier, here’s the picture after the jump…:

…over at TrekWeb.com.

Now, there’s a lot of talk out there and complaints about how the corridor looks different from the 1960s TV show, and though valid on the complaints if true, the corridor could still conceivably be “under construction” and therefore early pictures should keep in mind until the movie comes out and we see what it does look like.

What bothers me far more is the comment on SyFy Portal:

“I think a lot of hardcore fans are going to freak out,” Brown told SyFy Portal’s Will N. Stape. “As far as I know, only the exterior of the Enterprise had to stay the same. I don’t know if that came from J.J. or Paramount.”

Some of that was to be expected, however, as only so much 1960s nostalgia would work in today’s cinema. But stubbornness should really be checked at the door Christmas Day when the new Star Trek movie premieres.

“I can’t discuss any details, all I can offer is that you lose all your expectations of what Star Trek should be,” Brown said. “If you see this movie with an open mind and take it at face value, you may have a great time.”

Because we all know how well Enterprise di… oh wait… that’s right, Enterprise (later renamed Star Trek: Enterprise) failed. I can definitely keep an open-mind on watching the movie (obviously I will have to go and see it) and minor canonical errors will be understood, but if I see more of the same violations (Humans meeting the Ferengi, one week travel time to Qo’noS, etc.) I will probably be quite pissed.

The most important point to really drive home to any writers, producers, etc for Star Trek: the whole concept of Star Trek and what makes sci-fi drama work in the long-run is that you develop the long-term viability of the genre/series by creating a full world in of itself. You have thousands of people learning Klingon, a full language developed by those who understood Trekkies/Trekkers–you do not go and totally change the language down the line and expect things to improve.
