^ Exactly, they can' have it both ways! This would be like the Brosnan James Bond training the Craig James Bond as the new James Bond, and explaining that there have been many agents with the name James Bond. That is not a reboot, that would be a crazy and unnecessarily stupid way of explaination why the character is played by another actor, the time period of the story is different, and the technology is different.

Just saw the trailer, I am now slightly less looking forward to this than before. It really does feel like Smallville's answer to Star Trek. Quinto looks good as Spock in stills images, but seeing him act as Spock is unfortunate. He seems just like Sylar with a bad haircut. I suppose in J.J.'s continuity, Vulcan are not quite as emotionless as in the old continuity.

Also, aren't Vulcans suppose to age much slower, being as they have much longer lifespans? Wouldn't make sense for Kirk and Spock to look around the same age now, and to continue to look around the same age later. Kirk should technically be aging much faster, but yet Spock looks older than him in TOS.
