 I like Star Trek but hate JJA and Lindelof, but this movie sounds like it just might not have the mandatory horrible plotting, so I've gone from a definite no to a "possibly".

This teaser trailer makes it look like yet another really generic Action Extravaganza With Sci-Fi Elements, But Don't Worry, No Spaceships, So Don't Worry About Feeling Nerdy If You See It In Theaters. It could have promise but there's really not a single element in that trailer worth getting excited about, unlike say the first Prometheus trailer which had a lot of cool poo poo.
I was just waiting for the Nolan "BRRRT" honks to kick in, when I watched the trailer.

 You have to take what you can get from older progressives. The man who created Wonder Woman also espoused a belief where submission (female as male) was paramount to peace and solidarity. Perhaps hence The Lasso of Truth.

Roddenberry was obviously a loathsome philanderer, and we have to reconcile that with what he wanted to do with Star Trek. I don't know how much it helps to write a verdict saying the show is either unequivocally progressive or not.

I can only believe that the show's influence has been positive, and that's what counts.

At the risk of being a total sperg, I will point out that spaceships in Star Trek have, in fact, traveled around underwater:



Although it's from Voyager, where they didn't give a gently caress.
ENT, too where they intended to give up Bakula to get executed or some such. It was a one-way ticket, though.

 Is there are very specific datetime for the release just like Superman, or is it just something like "evening in the US"?

I don't know any Swedish, so it's hard for me to tell exactly what he's saying there, but yeah.

Trying to think of different villains that he could be playing is fun, but honestly, I'd be happy if he was playing someone we've never seen before too. Yeah, it's s Star Trek movie, but that doesn't mean it has to be something we've already watched.
"behövde" means, basically, "needed", which is an important distinction. Similar to "besoin" in French. In other words it's probably a character with no backlog of information.
