For those who aren't aware, this is the new trailer that premiered with The Hobbit. And close observation around 1:17 mark reveals the Enterprise took quite a beating, with visible damage all over the saucer section, and the deflector

"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

Youtube link for those having trouble with the Apple link.
There seems to be a theme of things being turned upside down, and of falling a very long way. To right one's self and get back up, maybe? You've got to hit rock bottom...

And nice observation about the possible theme
Seen here, leaked from set: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw7xmQ1MVaM (first half of video is just photos)
Khan couldn't do that, genetically enhanced or normal. Gary Mitchell might with godlike powers, but more likely he'd just stop it coming... but never at moment does Benedict's character show eyes of silver, glowing or otherwise.

Wait...my bad, wrong movie. :P
on another note, the trailer makes it look like those pods are for dead officers, as its right next to the bit with the flyover and the folding of the flag, but they look suspiciously like stasis pods.
could there be a space seed/khan thing either going on as the main plot somehow despite benedict playing john harrison or setting it up for khan in number 3?
Something like this would be better. Only not as many spoilers.

Was Chekhov wearing a red shirt at one point?
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

'...I can tell you that we're not in the military and that we intend no harm to the whales.' Kirk: The Voyage Home
'Starfleet is not a military organisation. Its purpose is exploration.' Picard: Peak Performance
'This is clearly a military operation. Is that what we are now? Because I thought we were explorers!' Scotty: Into Darkness
'...The Federation. Starfleet. We're not a military agency.' Scotty: Beyond
'I'm not a soldier anymore. I'm an engineer.' Miles O'Brien: Empok Nor
'...Starfleet could use you... It's a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada...' Admiral Pike: Star Trek

True, I just think that the 'Apple store' look is awfully bland and flimsy-looking, even plastic-y
If Cumberbatch is playing Mitchell, his eyes don't strictly need to glow for him to have powers, as he was already well above average in 'ESP' - perhaps Abrams is going to use the latent pre-galactic-barrier abilities he had, and he simply found the correct circumstances to acquire or enable/improve upon those abilities. Maybe through some sort of... augmentation? Who knows.
The Bird of Prey was chasing something, so I'm guessing that scene leads up to some scenes we saw in the first trailer where we see some Klingons in combat helmets getting their behinds handed to them by Cumberbatch.
The room full of coffins (stasis pods?) we briefly see two people walking out of, one in white and the other in black (who also looks like a rather large bloke) looks like an interesting scene. Maybe the result of a massacre by Cumberbatch that really sets him up as the antagonist... however they're all 'open' with windows into them. It's around the funeral scene, so I believe it to be misdirection and they're probably stasis pods or something. Which itself hints at an expulsion of an unwanted section of society.

I suspect that's a misdirection. They wouldn't kill off Spock this early into the reboot.
At least, I hope they don't.
I agree. Though it's not as plastic-y as the TOS bridge. :P

Though I'm almost beginning to believe that 'John Harrison' really isn't pulling our legs, as far as Benedict's character
As for the pods, the built-in windows hint at either stasis pods as you think, or simply a variant of the torpedo tube coffins they shot Spock out of in II... hey, they have Carol Marcus here, and the famous window scene (though I still doubt Spock or Kirk will die, but it will be a tension-filled moment), so why not?

I agree for the most part. The layout of the TOS bridge is great; it's just the colors and textures that slightly bug me.

The first one mentioned them sort of peripherally. Moreso if you count the deleted scenes.
This one appears to be featuring Qo'noS directly as part of the movie. What's more, things are getting wrecked there. By a human.
My bet? Movie three is a rising Klingon warlord who's tired of Romulan time travelers and spuerhumans making a joke of the Klingons. He/She(?) seizes power in the wake of Harrison's rampage and builds an armada over the course of a couple of years, finally leading an all-out attack on Earth. While Spock commands the Enterprise at the head of the Federation's defending fleet, Kirk fist-fights the Klingon warlord on the ground somewhere. Expect fighter craft from both sides because lol Star Wars, but other than that it could easily be the best of the three.

This whole movie looks like it's going to be great. Haters can hate on JJTrek all they want but as far as Trek movies go, this feels like one. I absolutely cannot wait.
Why did the last scene in that teaser make me think of TwoK?
thats the trite line of every 5th rate hack
"its a homage"
I could tell you scene by scene where the first film comes from
The man is a hack
I'll be enjoying the movie. You can go ahead and stew over it.
you can also explain the whole universe, but that doesn't mean you are right about it. We got it, you do not like JJtrek...others do, deal with it.
And of course a closed-minded possibly-not-sane person makes no distinction between homage and rip-off... which is illogical, btw
If Spock were here, he'd be disgusted by your complete illogic. Fascinated by what a curious case you are, but disgusted all the same way a Vulcan can be

some of you guys would Love a film even if it was 4 hours of watching the night shift in sickbay play chess
