Sam? Maybe he got fed up with his little brother and took off.
Or maybe that WAS him.

I really thought the ship was crap when I first saw it, but in the movie it worked- just like everything else did.
(I’m still in shock the movie was that good….)

What of Sam Kirk, Jim’s older brother? Sam would have still been around–not affected by the time effect. Was it him screaming at Jim about staying at his house and messing up the Corvette?

I liked everything else except the Spock/Uhura thing and the look of the ship. Although the Enterprise looked cool, I wanted at least the exterior of the ship to be the same.

What’s with all the claims that Vulcans don’t lie? They certainly do. And their culture seems far more communist than Obama’s economic policy. Don’t forget that Roddenberry was a Marxist.

Not that I’m saying I think communism is great. But it’d be wise to actually think before making blanketly political statements about a fictional franchise (and that goes for Nimoy as well – much as I like both Obama and the new movie I don’t really see any substantial similarity between Obama and Kirk).

I have all four interviews from G4’s Attack of the show sitting on my DVR burners hard disk.

Give me a place to upload them and I will, I copied them of my Dish system in 720×480res. Each interview is 2 to 3 minutes.

And Attack of the show is the first TV show that after removing ads is less than 30 minutes out of an hour show. How long until commercial TV dies. It has been said since the 70’s when the program/advertisement time goes less than 50/50 TV free TV will start dieing.

I predicted it would be in 2040’s (actually my math said 2037) from 1995 calculations, with the start of comercial ads back in 1954 on CBS with 1 minute halftime show plugs of 50 seconds to a minute and 20 seconds.

I remember this from a class I had in school about the Development of Commercial TV with CBS and NBC from New York City when every thing was live because Video tape was not created until 1955 on magnetic steal platters. Tape had to wait 2 years and then was 3 inch wide that the military used until 1973 in the US and 1981 overseas.

Could you see a room full of tape spools for the 79 TOS episodes, luckily it was stored on Motion picture film or there would be no TOSremastered today.

Just e-mail me, I know you can find my e-dress because I got a e-mail last week telling me to voice my views on Trek the Movie. I think it was a mass mailing.

In a worse case keep an eye on You-Tube. for the interviews.

I’m going to see it again on standard theater screen. Hopefully it will be more slower paced and less choppy. That line that kept going across the screen, like a sun reflection was very distracting. Hope the next movie will be more dialog and less action. OH and by the way, why don’t they have movies done in optional closed caption for the hearing impaired. Instead we have to wait till it comes out on DVD and miss all the effects on the big screen.

#84:

“Okay — so back from the second viewing — WHY was the fleet in the Laurention sector in the first place?”

Huge clearance sale on go-go boots.

“Oh, do good denturists not exist on Romulus in Spock Prime’s 24/5th century?”

They do, but but subtle differences in Vulcan and Romulan physiology (TNG: “The Enemy”) made the operation go horribly awry.

“Did Nero give Spock a matching fur-trimmed coat/pant suit on Delta Vega before he dropped him off?”

It had belonged to Nero’s wife. She didn’t need it anymore.

“Why didn’t Scotty pick up the destruction of Vulcan, the Enterprise in orbit or the space pod nearby?”

None of those things are food. It’s a good thing they arrived when they did, because Keenser was already starting to look like a giant chicken leg, like in cartoons.

“Where did the wood for the fire come from?”

Thoughts of Uhura.

“Why doesn’t young Spock raise his eyebrows more?”

Quinto still self-conscious about having to shave them.

Okay — so back from the second viewing — WHY was the fleet in the Laurention sector in the first place? Was it because of the Klingon ship thing? Why wasn’t Pike notified of the destruction of all the Klingon ships? Was Starfleet notified that Nero was coming to Earth? Did communications simply take too long, a la TOS — so that all those ships knew nothing about Nero. Isn’t Vulcan three days from Earth (TMP)? I would have liked to see a bit more of Nero’s backstory. And I’m assuming the encounter with the Kelvin twigged Starfleet to the Vulcan/Romulan connection. But how did they know Nero was Romulan in the first place? Oh, do good denturists not exist on Romulus in Spock Prime’s 24/5th century? Did Nero give Spock a matching fur-trimmed coat/pant suit on Delta Vega before he dropped him off? Why didn’t Scotty pick up the destruction of Vulcan, the Enterprise in orbit or the space pod nearby? Why do some of the E’s displays use the same LED numbers as my 1982 clock radio? Where did the wood for the fire come from? Why doesn’t young Spock raise his eyebrows more? Why do officers where different uniforms when on board ship? Why does the Nokia future phone look lamer than my first gen iPhone? Did Nero manage to blow up the star that would go supernova and later blow up Romulus (or did the black hole blow it up back in time, therefore preventing the destruction in the first place)?

I loved this movie, by the way.
