Hmm. I don't like the temporal setting, pre-TOS. As forward-thinking as TOS was for the 60s, bridge officers and brass clearly tended to be male. Now, pre-TOS, we've got a female Captain and 1st Officer on the same ship. Plus, Enterprise already tried the whole prequel thing and was generally not as warmly received as the other series.

Don't like the look of the Klingons. The whole Levodian flu thing was clearly a retcon to distinguish them from humans beyond bushy eyebrows and bronze makeup, but it was a definite improvement and set the standard going forward. Why mess with that?

The bit about "never being able to learn Vulcan" (language) made me jump to the conclusion that Sonequa Martin-Green's character was going to be a young Uhura. Guess that is wrong. She's looking foxy as hell though -- probably the best thing about the trailer in my opinion!

I guess I agree with a lot here that seem to have some doubts about this. Willing and hopeful to be proven wrong though!

Eh, callin' bullshit on Sammy Davis Jr pecking Nancy Sinatra. If that was it, the first interracial KISS still belongs to Uhura and Kirk.

I had a damn hard time following what the hell she was saying. She leaves off the end of so many sentences and half-formed thoughts... I just... use your words, Uhura! You were the communications officer!!

btw, the first interracial kiss on american television

was kirk kissing uhura on star trek.

Uhura is looking good as hell.

Wait, was that Uhura and Checkov?


Yes, that was Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig.

Wait, was that Uhura and Checkov?

Open a channel, Uhura. Make it a WTF channel.

This seems oddly mean for them though. Still funny as hail.

Uhura was so hot.... nobody was better fit to shatter the conservative views of racism than Uhura.

Oh my.... I'm drooling.
