J.J. Abrams gave America its first-ever look at "Star Trek Into Darkness" this evening by charitably revealing three whole frames of the film during his appearance on tonight's episode of "Conan." And what frames they are.

"This is a scene where Spock...for reasons that you'll have to see the film to understand, is in a volcano in this crazy suit, and he's in this volcano and this is the scene," said Abrams, which about sums it up.

"People are gonna freak out to see this clip, they're gonna go insane!" exclaimed Conan, before going on to predict: "I still believe that people are going to maybe freeze-frame this on their computer and study it and dissect it."

And you know something? He's probably right.

Watch the clip below to see for yourself.

"Star Trek Into Darkness" is slated for release on May 17, 2013.

    When are people gonna wake up to Team Abrams? They've been churning out the same derivative hack drivel for years now, but JJ says he's a nerd 'just like us' and we carry him aloft, like a god amongst men. Enough. Go back to TV. It's what your best at.

    Paramount should talk him out of that title. This need to recreate whatever surface inventive thing the Nolan Batman movies did must stop immediately.
