No they're not the children of...

In the 2009 film we discover Spock Prime (Nimoy). He is from The Original Series timeline, he is stranded in the reboot timeline by the Romulan Nero. So Spock Prime has all his memories from the other timeline, and Spock Quinto uses him for advice in Into Darkness.

Oh. I guess I didn't understand the one before this one. Or the one before that. or.... Quinto? Didn't he help the Pilgrims?

I get it though that the subtitle of this latest one should be "Wrath of RB"

This is the statement that I have a problem with...

Strongly suspect JJ Abrahms was beaten up by Trekkies in his youth and this film was a giant fuck you revenge.

Can Trekkies actually beat anyone up?

I saw the first reboot and had a load of issues with it. Most objectionable is the Uhura/Spock suck-face thing. There is no way Spock would ever do that in public. It was sickening. I will pass on movie 2.

Lucky it was only face suck.....

The new Spock is more in tune with his human side.

Can Trekkies actually beat anyone up?

Joe, that would depend on the Trekkie...

I have no doubt RB can kick some serious ass....

But she still couldn't be president of Iran.

And heres a very good example of just one of the things that really grated on me with this film ... why did Spock lite need to contact original Spock? ITS A DIFFERENT BLOODY TIME LINE!!! anything original Spock knew about Khan he knew about original Khan in the original time line NOT Khan 2.0 and since the timelines split long before Khan 2.0 shows up in the alternate timeline then Khan 2.0 is a completely different fucking Khan with a completely different fucking history!!! Similarily Original Spock advising Spock lite to make friends with Kirk lite was a waste of fucking time and highly illogical since that too is a different bloody Kirk to the one original Spock knows also with a completely different history so for all original Spock knows Kirk lite is a complete knob head (which is exactly how they wrote him in this crappy movie) who Spock lite would do better having nothing to do with.

ARRGGGGG

RB--a question, wouldn't khan's history have been written long before the timelines diverged (after all, he was set in the sleeper ship centuries before Kirk/Kirk2)? In such a case, insights about Khan would be valid as most of his history would have been the same (up until the ship was discovered).

FWIW, while I generally detest reboots/recreations (I still can't watch Elementary) I didn't mind the 2009 film; not great, but interesting in its own right, and the reboot features allowed the creators to avoid the anal retentive faction of the Trekkies saying "Kirk/Spock/etc. never would have done that...").

Khan was kicked off this planet in his ship (full of bulky transistors) about 20 years ago now

Did the planet have "rich corinthian leather"?
