The trailer for the new series is available online, and nearly every aspect of it annoys me. The series is supposed to be set in the so-called "prime" universe (meaning the Shatner, Nimoy era, not the Pine, Quinto era) but it looks nothing like the original series. The uniforms resemble the off-world jackets from the most recent film. The Klingons don't look like Klingons. And the desert sequences are straight out of Star Wars, not Star Trek. Not to be too much of a purest, but the original series Enterprise was old when the series aired. It had two previous captains (Pike and April) and at least one extended mission. So a series set only a decade before the original and set in the original timeline ought to resemble the original... at least a little bit. I want to like the series... I prefer Trek TV to Trek movies. I like the casting choices overall, though all the behind-the-scenes shuffling has me nervous. And if they are going to focus on the Klingons as the trailer implies, that explains why Paramount/CBS moved heaven and earth to halt production on the Axanar fan-film. -- Kevin M.
