Nov 23 | Chuck returns to NBC with a special two-hour show on Sunday, Jan 10, 2010, before returning to its regular time slot, Mondays at 8pm on the following night. It's return to prime time television can be attributed to a successful fan renewnal campaign last year. CHUCK is a one-hour, action-comedy series that follows Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, "Less Than Perfect") -- a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government's most vital secret agent. This upcoming season will include some special guest stars, including Brandon Routh of "Superman Returns" who will play CIA agent Daniel Shaw in an episode, and the addition of SUBWAY restaurant as a major advertiser to the show. Chuck averaged a 4.0/6 rating last season, about eight percent better than the recently cancelled "Trauma". Ratings-challenged Heroes moves back an hour when Chuck returns on Monday nights. STAR TREK VOYAGER's Robert Duncan McNeill serves Chuck as a supervising producer and director.

Recall that closer shots of the gray uniform were scarfed by JFX Online in December of last year. It was presumed to be "Officer's formal wear."

Some rough-quality spy photos, just posted here, show the Aptera vehicle is driven out into the yard among the actors, so it may appear in the movie.

More zoom-and-crop images: Looks like the ladies in mini-skirts and go-go boots were encouraged to wear their hair up in a bun. Not quite beehive...

I reckon the only thing you can do about replacing your Super-Duper Decoder Ring is eat another 47 boxes of Star Trek Coco Puffs.

Here's a zoom-and-color-enhancement of what's believed to be part of the Enterprise bridge console. From what I think I see -- glowing blue gauges and a big red rocker-switch -- it's a kitschy nod to classic sci-fi. Shiny...

We saw a LITTLE bit of a bridge console in a chat transcript on trekmovie.com about a month ago. Abrams is sitting with his back to the camera, chatting on a laptop that rests on a console that is assumed to be on the bridge. It was neither a TOS or TNG era layout, nor did it resemble something from ENT. And it wouldn't hold up, close-up. (But that's nothing new)

I like the outfits

I like the look of the open-air "set"

Does that make me a Paramount Corporate Ho?

Just wondering. :-)

In TOS, a jumpsuit is usually only seen on civilian workers or non-commissioned crewmen, so this garb isn't what we expect to see for Starfleet from that time-frame.

Whenever JJ Abrams strays from canonical TOS designs, I hope he strays toward the classic science-fiction which inspired Gene Roddenberry. In particular: Forbidden Planet (1956).

Looks to me like this could be the case -- first with what (little) has been shown of the kitschy new Enterprise bridge design, and now with these Academy uniforms.

Uh oh, I don't particulary like the car design anymore after seeing more pictures of the car. But judging from the various uniforms I would say it fits in. This reminds me of "Stormfront" or something along the lines of it.

Much like the monochromatic charcoal uniforms worn by Army cadets at Westpoint today, these appear to just be the uniforms worn by Starfleet graduates/cadets. There was a post a while back by a guy who saw the Playmates toy prototypes, and it would appear that the duty uniforms the characters wear on board the ship are very close to what was worn on the Original Series.

All the ladies are in red micro-skirts, and the men are in grey (militaristic looking?) uniforms. Not the unisex mentality we've grown accustomed to lately.

I really like the futuristic car design...

    Not all the ladies. In fact there are a few who look like they might be wearing World War II-style skirt uniforms!

    Remember, though, the "unisex look" is primarily associated with post-TOS. TOS had miniskirts. The Cage and Where No Man, however, did not. So I would expect there to be a mix of styles.

    The "futuristic" car design is actually an Aptera which will hopefully go into production very soon. Hopefully the car is not in the movie since it would make the movie a little dated before it was even released. :)

    Visit aptera.com if you want more info on the car.

    Males are required to go "commando", so it kinda balances out. ;-)

    Actually, if you look carefully, you'll see females in jumpsuits too. In the following zoom-and-crop image, there are five females wearing the long-legged jumpers (two red, three gray). There are also females in gray "militaristic" skirt and jacket...

The time stamp on the photos says they were taken on 18 March. It is obviously daytime.

BUT, look at the time Trekweb, and other sites started carrying the pics... 18 March - in the early pre-dawn hours!!

Something is amiss and does not add up!!

Thoughts...!?
