Too big for a runabout.

Oh - I'm noticing something else about the uniforms. I think those still in the Academy have no rank braid on the end of their uniform sleeves. Those graduated and in Starfleet already have braid. I see braid on McCoy, Scotty, and Sulu.

Here's a little side by side between TOS and the new shots.

I love the comment about McCoy deciding to part his hair on the other side at some point in the future!

Quinto does look a little Sylar like and emotional in one of those shots. Still, as a younger half-vulcan, I'm sure he has more emotional struggles than most.

I guess the fact I don't watch Heroes will help me deal with Spock!

Quite probably.

Fortunately, I can normally compartmentalise enough to deal with this sort of cross-over - if I can live with Voyager's Doctor running Atlantis, I can live with this!

Well what about Tristan the vet becoming the 5th Doctor, that confused me at first ;)

What's this part? Another ship? Part of the Kelvin??

Possibly a secondary explosion, in this pic the Kelvin is under attack from the Romulan base, or something to that effect.

No propblem!

I coped with young 'Mister Farnon' (typed in an appropriate regional accent) donning the cricketing gear without breaking step. (Cue the cloister bell and the loss of the Zero Room...)

Beat me to it!

That's my assessment too.

Geekyfanboy · October 17, 2008, 09:54:11 AM

And a few more...

Geekyfanboy · October 17, 2008, 09:59:10 AM

oh found one more...

Bryancd · October 17, 2008, 10:56:15 AM

Awesome! Pine and Quinto look pretty studly!

Wow.... Been offline for a few days and only just managed to see the pictures, in fact I was hearing about them on Twitter before I could see them for myself.

They were worth the wait. At first I didn't like the uniforms and I thought that the pictures looked a little like a fan made movie. But then I thought that perhaps I was letting my feelings about the whole "prequel" thing cloud my judgement. There was always going to be comparisons with TOS and the whole styling of the uniforms and I'm still not totally convinced, I think I need to see moving pictures with a soundtrack before I can say that I like the new look. But I will keep an open mind, I'm skeptical at the moment but I must admit, when I saw those shots I did get a little excited. I guess time will tell

The shield thingy, I read that it looks like a bubble when hit rather than glows... I think.
