Nice gift cards… Kirk, Spock, McCoy and main villain!
Oh… my bad, it’s not McCoy, it’s some minor background character. What the…?

You know, I’m beginning to seriously dislike Zoe Uhura. Her being constantly pushed forward annoys me to no end. Whoever’s the dumbass who devised those promotion images, I hope they’re happy…

It’s as if first Star Wars movie was promoted by images of Luke, Han, Greedo and Darth Vader. :P

I’m sure it has some in film meaning, but I am also sure that the “real reason” was as a nod to The Next Generation.

I’m sorry, but NCC-1701-D is just too ironic for it to just be a big fluke.

Delta Vega? Isn’t that the planet with the lithium cracking station Gary Mitchell gets buried on after the fight with Kirk? I don’t remember it being an ice planet.

^45. It’s possible the large “D” was only removed from the promotional image, to avoid raising false expectations. It may be clear in the context of the film that NCC-1701’s pods are labelled A, B, C, D, etc., and thus the easter egg can be enjoyed by the audience.

That’s definitely Robau saying the line. If you listen closely you can hear an accent.

Hmm, I seem to remember the idea being Nero invites the captain over, then kills him. So I think he hands over command to George Kirk when he goes to meet Nero.

#14 – hmm, that’s interesting. The Narada (Nero’s ship) does include Borg technology, so who’s to say it doesn’t have some Federation components as well?

#41 – that’s probably the case, and I’d bet it’s not Captain Rabau, because by the time Kirk takes command of the Kelvin, Rabau is already dead.
