Cool photo!  Though this bridge is looking a little fancy for the 23rd century… I mean those charts look more high tech than LCARS, which we all know is 24th century technology.

NEW STAR TREK PHOTO!

Here’s what Lindelof had to say about what Trek fans can take away from the photo:

- The set you see in the photo is the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and not a training room.

- When asked why Kirk was wearing black instead of the standard yellow captain’s shirt, Lindelof said that the black uniform was, in fact, a captain’s uniform — and the color was “significant” to the story surrounding this scene.

- It’s no coincidence that Kirk and Sulu are looking a bit ragged in this scene, and Lindelof hinted that the fight they appear to have gotten into might have been with each other.

- Abrams was insistent that every piece of equipment on the bridge serve a legitimate purpose — that they all have “functionality.” According to Lindelof, the maps we see in the background near the top of the communications desk were based on the generally accepted layout of the Star Trek universe.

- While Lindelof said the “red shirt” crew member we see in the photo isn’t significant herself, fans can probably make some predictions about her fate given the color of the uniform she’s wearing.
