These photos are problematic to me. It just doesn't look like STAR TREK. Practically everyone is holding a pistol in these pics, and they don't even look like phasers. The original hand-held phasers looked cool. I remember how excited I was to buy a model kit to construct one because in those days, they could not be bought in stores. Why not just update the original design and retain some of the look and feel. The focus on guns just doesn't feel right. It's not STAR TREK. Star Trek is supposed to represent other solutions than simply the barrel of a gun. I think I see plenty of that in everyday life. Where's my world of tomorrow that ST is supposed to represent.










I'm a long time Trekkie/Trekker and I really enjoyed JJ's Star Trek! am SO psyched about this sequel! I can't wait!
Wish: I agree wholeheartedly with your observations!
