Another article questioning why there are so many inconsistencies, but at this time the author expresses cautious optimism.

Another breakdown of the trailer.

As for assertions that Vulcans are not racists, well...that isn't quite true. Putting aside Enterprise (on a shelf at the other end of the universe, please!), there are many examples of racist Vulcans. Spock's classmates back in "Yesteryear" come to mind immediately. That idiot Solok comes to mind second.

The problem is putting such sentiments into Sarek's mouth. THAT'S a problem. Sarek is disappointed that Spock's human side prevents him from becoming an ideal Vulcan, but he doesn't think humans are a lesser species, he married at least two of them!
