Again: UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
By meni

Once again, this is an 'under construction' corridor. The stark lighting and exposed piping are a product of it still being unfinished. To conclude that this is a BSG-style set is missing the entire point of the viral site.

A couple of more points:

- The design is actually very close in overall geometry to the sets of early Trek episodes (I think mostly the "Cage" pilot). Although expect a great deal of additional detail and lighting effects.

- Expect this and other teaser images to be regularly updated over the next 11 months leading up tho the premiere. For example, this image will gradually introduce walls over the exposed pipes and brighter, softer lighting.

- Although much of the designs will reference the original sets, expect a great deal of redesign and 're-imagining'. The Enterprise may at first glance look much like the TOS version, but at only moderately closer inspection you'll see considerable redesign. Obviously there'll be a lot more micro-detail, but more significantly angles and edges will flow more organically and its overall size will appear larger.

- What Abrams and co. are doing is capturing the essence and potency of the original Star Trek and taking it to the next level. The hope is to take the very best of TOS and then add even more scope, realism, drama, and cinematic punch to anything we've seen before.

But this is A REBOOT. Which means that canon needs to, and will be, sacrificed at times to deliver a great new take on the franchise.

I for one am all for it.
