    That looks way hotter than Shatner's original Enterprise. Or even the retrofit one

    Kudos to the design teams for adding some CURVES to the original Enterprise.

    Yeah. Real starships have curves.

    Remember, even with the new curves, the designers had to stick with the same "flaws" as the original NCC 1701...the Enterprise with the gold deflector dish had its nacelles sticking straight up right?

    I like that model, but it's a creation of an avid fan. The guy who made it really turned out a nice piece of work.

    Whoa, just saw the trailer. It looks good! It would be nice if the kid Kirk kinda talked like the real Kirk. I guess I should give up analyzing it for trekkie details...

    But as it turns out, it was just fan art. (and damned good fan art at that!)

    That one is way better than the one that is actually going to appear in the movie.
