This is ridiculous (New Trek spoilers)

[mumpish]

I remember thinking that the New Enterprise looked a bit large, mainly in a shot where the shuttle bay had room for enough shuttles to bring the entire crew on board, but didn't think much more about it. Apparently it is New Canon

Sigh, I still gotta go. I really honest-and-for true planned to go Monday but got pre-empted by Paul. I'm just not sure I can go alone, my Trek Tourette's might get me beat up.

WRT the same moon issue: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1611247/20090512/story.jhtml... )

You're missing my point. I understand and accept why they're on the same planet; what isn't explained is why they're anywhere near each other. Consider

Nah, once they are on the same moon, it makes total sense that they'd end up close to each other - Spock's been on that moon for years, he's had plenty of time to move around, and he would obviously try to be close to the Starfleet outpost. Kirk got intentionally beamed to the outpost, so there you have it.

Of course Vulcan was a crappy place - that's how the Vulcans got to be the way they are. Paradise is boring for writers and audiences.

Spock hasn't been on that planet for years ... at best, he was there for days. Remember, Nero waited, calculating where and when Spock would come out of the vortex, specifically so that he could capture him and force him to watch the destruction of Vulcan. While mind melding with Kirk, Spock specifically says that what had been only seconds for him had been 25 years for Nero.

Incidentally, 'Spock' is in my spell check. How cool is that?

Ah, you're right about that. Also, of course Kirk wasn't beamed but shot down in that pod thing. Eh, artistic license :) Star Trek has never been hard sci-fi.
