MTV has just posted some scans of the new Star Trek trading cards, alerting us to several bits of pertinent information:

1. The film apparently features a cameo from Alien Natasha Lyonne's Character in Slums of Beverly Hills (above).

2. Young Spock stupidly gives old Spock a live-long-and-prosper (see here). That's totally going to eff up the time-space continuum. Every time travel movie warns not to blatantly gesture at yourself. That's amateur hour.

3. Companies still make movie trading cards. Who would have thought? Granted, I had the entire set of Tim Burton's Batman trading cards as a kid, but that was before internet and the competition of Pokemons Cards. Is this just a one-time thing because they know there are nerds who will buy anything Star Trek?
