This is supposed to be funny, damnit! ([info]gloria_mundi) wrote in [info]fandom_lounge,
I'm not that big of a fan, but it did give me a nice little chill.

One of the things I like about this teaser is that it conveys something we never really see in Trek: the size.

Aside from a couple of shots in the movies, and the opening for DS9, we never really get a sense of how big things are in the Trekverse. The starbases alone could probably generate their own gravity field if you spun them, but we never really see that. These things are supposed to be able to house starships, but again, only a couple of shots in the movies really show just how big those things are.

The Enterprise D had a saucer a mile in diameter, if memory serves, but in seven freakin years, they never really showed us that except to put a Borg Cube next to it.

But this, the Enterprise ("no a, b, c, or bloody d" Best line in the entire franchise), is big and the trailer shows it.

That's awesome.
