It Gave Me Chills!
By Gamera

Okay, I know there are posters lurking here that exist only for the sad thrill it gives their lacking lives to make fun of "fanboys" and old-school Trekfans. No matter what we say positive about the original Trek and any attempts to bring back Kirk, they will shoot it down, as if their being new to ST fandom somehow makes them superior. Big laugh!

So that being said, I will gladly risk their misplaced disdain and say, out of all the kicks the trailer gave me as far as crew team-ups and ship battles, the one single moment that stands out above it all, the one that made my hackles rise and gave the cold chills was this: Spock approaches Kirk in the Nexus. Kirk turns. Sees Spock as he says, "Jim." and Kirk wonderously exclaims, "Spock!"

That did it for me. I don't JUST want Kirk to return. Both Shatner AND Nimoy must be together or it just won't work as well. They are a team, and the only real thrill in any movie will be when we see them together again.

It may not, and probably will not, ever happen onscreen. But fiction such as this trailer can make it happen in our imaginations, and in efforts such as the "Return" books by Shatner/Garfield-Reeves.

I say, the effect I felt (and others I suspect) watching this speculative trailer shows that all of the appeal of the original Trek boils down to this: Kirk and Spock. Not to ignore the contributions by all the others, but to say that if we are to see a Return, it must be by both. Just my own feelings about it. Thanks to the fans that did this work, just for that one moment of joy. You made it real for a moment!
