i’m getting more and more stoked for this every day

taken from this piece in entertainment weekly:

”When Captain Pike sits in the chair on the Enterprise for the first time, there’s a splash of light right across his eyes,” Abrams says. ”They used to do that all the time on the old Trek — a splash of light across Kirk’s face to heighten the drama. I did that on purpose. I wanted to show people that we weren’t trying to undo Star Trek. We were embracing it.”

the keylights on kirk’s eyes were ridiculous in the old show.  i’m really glad abrams threw that in there, even if it is just for pike.
