BILL’S: The Future Begins, Part 2

The same day I made my bootleg post, Paramount began working on the Official Star Trek site. Today, they updated it with a high definition version of the trailer. Much better than the one I posted. Go check it out.


Also, in the light of Cloverfield, websites are starting to pop up. The first one allows you to watch the construction of the Enterprise as it happens. Go check out the construction of the Enterprise


But in a darker note, I have started finding out that a script has been leaked to the internet. According to this script, once again, the background of the Star Trek lore has been forgotten. Traditionally, the first Starship Enterprise was seen in the Star Trek: Enterprise series. But according to Aint It Cool News and TV Guide, this is no longer the case. The NCC-1701 Enterprise seen in the Original Series has been revealed to have been built at Area 51 on Earth. I wasn't convinced, so I watched the high def version of the teaser trailer. First thing I noticed was there is plainly a city in the background over the construction going on. Then I realized that there is supports holding up the construction site. If this had been built in space like the Star Trek: Enterprise was, it wouldn't need construction. Then came the slap in the face. I realized the welder shown right up front is on the saucer section of the Enterprise. Yes, he is standing on the outside. And he flips up his protection mask, with no problem. If this was in space, well, he would be dead. So it does look as though the ship is being constructed on the Earth and will launch from here.


Still going to give it a chance, although I am not happy with the change......
