New Star Trek Film-J J Abrams

[TrueDave]

In one of my rare moments of lucidity in the theater I thought I heard Nimoy actually say the Star Date.

IDW published a prequel comic and I think it was 20 years or so after the events in Nemesis.

As for the Vulcans having space travel before the Earth, there was a novel that talked about that as part of it's plot and it was out maybe 5 years or so before First Contact. I think it might have been called First Contact as well, but had nothing to do with TNG crew or the Borg.

In the new Trek, is the planet that Kirk finds Spock on supposed to be the same planet they left Gary Mitchell on or are they just two different planets with the same name of Delta Vega?

I never had a problem with Vulcan having been in space longer than earth. I always thought the Vulcan species a bit older than humanity also. Plus it is canon that the vulcans that became the Romulans left Vulcan thousands of years before TOS, which means the Vulcans have had some form of space travel for centuries.

>First Contact Cochran is clearly not the same character as the Cochran we've seen in the Classic Series.

In the original story he's not even an Earthling; he's from Alpha Centauri.

>The whole ending with Vulcan having space travel ability and coming to Earth was against Classic lore.

Kinda. The Vulcans had space travel first, and had met a few races prior to Terrans and Centauri.

>The Borg having a "Queen" goes against everything the Borg is.

THAT bothered me, since yeah; they're supposed to be non-individual components of a collective. Carrying around a spare nekkid chick kinda goes against the grain. But by then they'd already gone down the "what is love?" route, AND created two different tribes of Borg, so it was kinda more of the same for me by the film's time.

I have one more thing I want to say, in this, the latest TREK thread
to touch upon the whole series of movies...

Not only do I love THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, and not only is it possibly
the best of all the Trek films, but, I'm convinced thatr the funniest
moment in Trek history occurs in this movie.

General Chang: [prosecuting] Doctor McCoy. What is
your current medical status?

McCoy: Well, aside from a touch of arthritis, I'd say pretty good.

[some scattered laughter from the audience; McCoy smiles, but sees
Chang, unsmiling]

Funniest moment in Trek movies ?

I say it has to be the punk on the bus
