Star Trek in-jokes/continuity (Spoiler Alert)

Hence, "I'm Ok" to his mom...hello...Vulcans wouldn't say that..

I decided not to be bothered by any of that & to just allow myself to be entertained; which I was -- a lot.

 

So was my wife & she has never seen a single thing related to Star Trek for more than 3 minutes a pop.

 

For the record I'm a real deal fan of the OS & the first 2 movies -- I know the titles to all the OS episodes, can quote dialog at length, & all that nutty stuff.

Another thing...

 

Was Chekov's age ever revealed in the original series? 17 seems kind of young...

The only (small) problem I had with the movie was Spock's romantic relationship. Didn't seem to fit.

 

Why?

The original Spock was always unemotional and detached. Having a romance with a fellow crew member would be unprofessional.

 

He is half human you know!

 

Notice he didn't pursue it until after Vulcan was destroyed. I think this is one of the changes caused by the change to the timeline.

 

I just saw this today and it is now my favorite movie of all time. I'm amazed they managed not to destroy all the prior continuity Trekkies have enjoyed and still do a fresh "reboot" of the franchise. Literally my only problem was Spock didn't need to say anything to initiate a mind meld.

 

What a great film. I was SERIOUSLY skeptical about this, but truly a great movie.
