The official Star Trek site has been updated again.

The forums are now active, so if you feel like kvetching, you can do it there. There’s also an official Star Trek Facebook group, so if you know exactly what the producers are doing wrong and exactly what they should do to fix it, I’m sure they’d love to hear from you.

Look! We’ve seen nothing but the trailer, yet the disappointment is palpable.

Fan 1: “We already have rudimentary droids that can clean carpets (e.g. the Roomba) so when the starship begins construction in 2244, why are the welders still organic? Why aren’t self-aware, autonomous robotic welders doing the job instead? Aren’t we supposed to consign robots to the more dangerous and mundane work in as little as 20 years?”

Fan 2: “I am already disappointed that A) The Enterprise looks like the movie version instead of the TV version and B) Continuity is further disregarded because I always thought the Enterprise was supposed to be assembled in space, and the trailer makes it look otherwise.”

Fan 3: “In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.”

If you want to casually catch up on TOS, they’re available free and legal on Joost.
