    Wasn't an insult calling it Built By Apple Corp...merely an observation
    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    Haha no wasn't having a go at you, but as a general thing, people fling that as an insult, and several other people have said the same thing, in a derogatory fashion

    It's just particularly ironic in this case...

    Is that a rhetorical question or are you seriously waiting for my answer?

    We had the same problem with Enterprise, but I think that was handled quite well. And this issue already occured when they changed the Klingon appearance. I don't have a problem with the bridge looking more modern than the TOS-Bridge, it should just feel right. And for me currently it looks more generic than trek. I there were not people in Starfleet uniforms ( and here's the good thing, I already identify them as Starfleet ), I would not have recognized it as a Trek bridge.

    On the other hand it is just one shot, one perspective. The whole might feel more trek if we have complete overview of the bridge and moving pictures.

    Some of the complaints I've been hearing (not here, necessarily) about the bridge make me think of the opposite of that IBM commercial Avery Brooks did a few years back:

    And what's wrong with D&D there Mr. Tobian ?

    As far as the iBridge goes, I'm willing to give it a chance - Scotty may be an issue with me, however. I'll keep expecting the Winchester or Liz to pop up in conversations. (Shawn of the Dead)

    Then there's Thia's little line that floored me about Spock "...my mind to your mind, your mind to my mouth..." (Sorry a little Sylar reference there)

    Don't forget that I hate Vampire.

    Unfortunately, D&D fan community have more than enough iPod users. That and WotC is offering their own Podcast series. Ugh.

    I blame Mike Okuda (the one created Okudagram bridge interface design on his Apple computer).

    I swear, if I ever see a label that reads "iPod-ready" or "iPod docking interface" or somesuch, there will be some serious "fonging."

    The pics are not instilling any faith in the movie for me.I think I'll count this movie as a parallel univerise,due to time manipulation.

    I like the look of the crew. Kirk and Spock are spot on. Don't know how I feel about the black captain's uniform (not an undershirt according to Abrams). Don't know how I feel about the new, super-bright bridge, either. Can't wait to see how it all looks in the upcoming trailer, though.

    I can't stand the look of the bridge.It doesn't look like Star Trek to me.Has anyone else thought Urban looks like Gary Lockwood in that shot of McCoy & Kirk.The uniforms are ok,at least they look right(even though its supposed to be set durning the time prior to TOS.)

    I like the retro-futuristic look of the new movie:
