It is in all of our best interests to get them into the theater, so they can be introduced to <i>Star Trek<\/i>, get excited about <i>Star Trek<\/i>, and keep the <i>Star Trek<\/i> universe alive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To read more, head to the article located <a href=\"http:\/\/moviesblog.mtv.com\/2009\/02\/20\/wil-wheaton-offers-reaction-to-spoilers-star-trek-footage-relax-people\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though the Star Trek XI trailer shows a lot of action, it&#8217;s aimed at&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2401],"tags":[2399,2452],"class_list":["post-5426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-star-trek-xi","tag-trailer","tag-wheaton"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xi\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: XI<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: XI","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5426"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5426\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7115,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5426\/revisions\/7115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
