It's nit-picky- but the key principle to replicators (and holodeck) is the key principle to the transporters... which they have.

I still fondly recall the original Starfleet Technical Manual. It was really awesome. I wish I still had it! Wonder if there still some floating around?
There sure are:
Star Trek - Starfleet Technical Manual
All the other art/production design books I mentioned are also still available:
The Art of Star Trek
The Continuing Mission - Star Trek: The Next Generation
The Star Trek Sketchbook
Star Trek: The Next Generation Sketchbook - The Movies Generations & First Contact

Hmmm.... what exactly did they get their food from when they put the little colored cassettes in the wall in the galley? Remember those little doors that opened and POOF there was food/coffee/etc
ST:0? Interesting way to put it.
I suppose this story is put together in such a way that new viewers can get onboard and enjoy the story and old fans can still feel comfortable. I think the way the story has been described so far (old Spock going back to the beginning) seems like a, dare I say, logical way to go.
However, I cannot help but compare this to the product "Coke Zero". It suppose to taste more like regular sugar Coke but with Zero calories. Well, it does taste more like regular coke than Diet Coke but it is still not the same. I guess I find myself thinking that this is true for the new movie. And you know, there's nothing wrong with that. I think I will like coke...I mean Star Trek Zero. No matter, either with regular or sugar free, in the end I still get a good satisfying burp from the carbonation :0
Total geek thought here, but does this mean Pepsi is representitive of Star Wars?

"Life's tough. It's tougher if you're stupid." -- John Wayne
"In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together." --Dright D. Eisenhower Farewell Address, 1961
"Frank O'Connor, the Irish writer, tells in one of his books how, as a boy, he and his friends would make their way across the countryside, and when they came to an orchard wall that seemed too high and too doubtful to try and too difficult to permit their voyage to continue, they took off their hats and tossed them over the wall--and then they had no choice but to follow them. This Nation has tossed its cap over the wall of space, and we have no choice but to follow it. Whatever the difficulties, they will be overcome. Whatever the hazards, they must be guarded against...."
" -- John F. Kennedy 21 November, 1963
As a model-building enthusiast, graphic designer, artist and production design honk -- I am SO hoping that Paramount releases an "Art of Star Trek" type book that they have released in the past, showing production drawings, sets, costumes, photographs, and all that great production design stuff. To anyone who doesn't already own, The Art of Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation - Continuing Mission and Star Trek: The Next Generation Sketchbook -- I highly suggest you go to Amazon.com and pick them up. They're a great feast for the nerdy eyes. :)
