Thanks for the lovely long comment. The Nero-Narada angle hadn't occurred to me :( that's another horrible thought. I think the mindmeld was really sloppy script writing, I hated Spock giving Pike attitude too, that seems so un-Vulcan and un-Spock. And the movie really laid on how horrible Pike's death was with that lingering shot on his face, it all seemed so unneccessary.

Great job of fixing a lot of things that just weren't right! I love the tension between Jim and Bones at first, when Jim was still so trusting of Spock (no doubt Spock!Prime's influence) until he was shown otherwise.

And, yes, none of them were doing their damned jobs. Playing at Space Cowboys, indeed!

I guess we won't actually get to see this part, to see what should have occurred after the first movie, with Jim as first officer under Pike and Spock as science officer and Bones serving under Boyce in medbay. *sigh* At least here in this world, they'll get it right the second time around.

I was thinking of Jim's deep trust in Spock being based on their mutual life-saving thing. I do think that is yet another flaw in the movie. It is all about breaking all the rules to save the lives of your friends. While not noticing the collateral damage as all sorts of people who aren't your friends get hurt of killed, but hey, who cares? It is not a nice message, one reason rules exist is to stop exactly this, some lives being given priority over others. There should be consequences when these boys break rules.

I do wish there had been a world where we saw the older generation and the youngters serving together on the Enterprise, but I guess we'll just have to write it ourselves.

I agree with the comment about capturing the character's voices exactly right. Good job with that. And McCoy getting to say something beyond some silly little comic relief phrase. Hooray for that

Love this, but you already know that. Like all the other commentators, I hate this part of the movie...it's just *wrong* on so many levels and I love that you've tried to make sense of it and at least make Spock accountable for what he did...

*waves* Reading this super-belatedly. I really did not like this movie, but I do like this scene and the realizations you give the characters. Very nice. :)
