I think that Abrams kept the uniforms that would have been in Trek Prime looking as close as possible with small modifications. Obviously pants are more sensible in a number of ways, but less iconic. The fact that women are sometimes in pants makes me think that was the line of their thinking.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Once you have grown men borrowing each others clothing, it is as if you are issuing an open invitation to the slash based community. Livejournal, don't fail me on this.

Pretty much any movie you watch that's set somewhere you're familiar with the geography you're going to find something that doesn't make any sense.
Coppola's Dracula.
Although it's not like Stoker's book was stunningly accurate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There is so much I want to get behind in that Holmes movie, but I don't know. Maybe if I can pretend they are saying different names, and not Holmes/Watson.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Seska, wrt your t spoilerfont "Romulan-related canon should not be messed with." t /spoilerfont
I liked
Diane Duane's Romulans (My Enemy, My Ally) and John M. Ford's Klingons (The Final Reflection) much better than anything in TNG and DS9 canon. Have you read them?

While I have no doubt Ritchie made it as actiony as he remotely could, I'm on board with beefing Watson and Holmes up more, like the books seem to have them. If that means they need to indulge in some man-loving, well, these things do happen.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

'Specially with all the cocaine Holmes did.

I don't know. I want to like it, but I get a whole "Van Helsing" vibe from the trailer.

Because books.

INDEED. And the boyfriend bickering in the clip I saw was PERFECT.
Although I sort of wish it was Paul Bettany playing Watson instead of Jude Law.

“Not dead yet!”
Although I sort of wish it was Paul Bettany playing Watson instead of Jude Law.
Ugh. No. Not that I'm any big fan of Jude, but Bettany skeeves the hell out of me. I would have loved to have seen Julian Rhind-Tutt as Watson.
