It does look like Star Wars with Star Trek ships. Hey, it wouldn't be Kirk if he didn't have a fling with some green chick or something, would it?I suspect if there is some of that, they will tone that down and try to make it more serious, like they did with Casino Royale. Honestly, JJ Abrams seems to want to give the original series a credible face, and I don't think that would invovle all that much gratuitious sex.

I know & understand that any star trek series always got a kick in the rating pants with scientific hotties but lets leave the gratuitous booty-call dogs of the 60's lie--after all wasn't Star Trek groundbreaking because Roddenberry believed prejudice, sexism & racism would become a hopeless anachronism of the future?
