The Enterprise has turbines?
J.J. Abrams has released the first peek at the Enterprise from his new look at the original crew. Cool. Sweet. It’s awesome to see the original look, crew, etc. on the big screen. I haven’t heard many of the names of the actors playing James T. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, etc. But back to the ship. Ain’t It Cool has the sneak peek which I’ve included below.
On their site, you can click through to a larger version of the above image. What caught my eye right off the bat (Nerd alert, nerd alert!) were the apparent turbines at the front of the warp nacelles. I know the old show had these spinny-things, but they weren’t fans. Maybe my nerd-fu isn’t powerful enough.

I said that in the post. They were red, with rotating lights. Not turbines. If you look in the starboard nacelle in the above pic, it looks like there’s a series of turbines in the nacelle. I don’t see those being spinny red light thingys.
