NEW Star Trek Movie = #FAIL

“The name’s McCoy, Leonard H.”  One of countless memorable lines that were culled directly out of the Star Trek: Original Series, dialect and all.  What a great job these guys did portraying people who are real heros to many people.  They influenced generations of science, space and military.  We have been so engaged to this crew, it would be difficult for anyone to do it justice in a remake.

While Special Effects, Casting, and general feel all seemed pretty good.  This story has really left me pissed off.

Most of us hardcore Trek folk look at the logic of things, and when an event happens in the story, we look at it in the perspective of the entire program and from a scientific theoretical possibility/stand point.

Here’s what Pissed me off!

  • The Romulans and Spock pass through a blackhole. (This isn’t Disney’s BlackHole)  We know what happens with a blackhole, it’s a high gravitational area, not a rip in the space-time continuum.

  • optical communicationSpock comes back with a machine designed to destroy planets.  (enough red matter to destroy hundreds of worlds)

  • The Romulan’s destroy Kirks dad, altering the SpaceTime Continuum, and Old Spock still gets comesback with not altering of the Space Time Continuum.

  • Kirk isn’t sent to the Brig but rather ejected off to a distant planet.

  • Kirk meets the old Spock, and this doesn’t change the space time continuum.

  • Spock meets himself.

  • WTF that Kirk becomes Captain of the enterprise as a Cadet.

  • If any of these things that break time were to happen then most likely, these poeple may not have become friends the same way.

  • The next movie better fix this.  I mean, what would Q have to play with, unless Captain Picard is still out there in space.

  • This was much more akin to an episode of Sliders than an episode of Star Trek.  Even in episodes where they travel in time, then never screw with the space time continuum and make out as if the known timeline no longer exists.  It changes way too much of the future that is yet to be written.
