In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

@40 yrs Vegas convention, Google was handing out red shirts says "Engineers wear red and survive". But in this new movie, Engineering red also died. LOL

Finally saw the movie today.  Great flick... but... the whole Uhuru/Spock thing was wrong... and not sure how this "prequel" works with the original pilot "The Menagerie".  I did enjoy it tho...

Kirk over Picard easily!!!

Thought it was good. Wasnt sure about the Ouhuru?Spock role either.

It's a reboot folks, the entire ST timeline over the last 40 years of TV and movies doesn't happen.  It's a whole new universe (or at least the Alpha Quadrant) - remember what happened in the movie to Vulcan.

Spock and Uhura definitely had something in the TOS. Remember She once sang to a SMILING Spock

"
Oh, on the Starship Enterprise
There's someone who's in Satan's guise
Whose devil ears and devil eyes
Could rip your heart from you!
At first his look could hypnotize
And then his touch would barbarize
His alien love could victimize
And rip your heart from you!

Yah - Uhura/Spock in the original Series was definitely hinted at early on, but later dropped.  An alien and an African-American?  In the '60s?  C'mon now.

And yes, it's a reboot-slash-alternate reality (as also specifically and overtly mentioned within the dialogue), so anything goes from this point on.

Negative. It's an alternate timeline. The destruction of the USS Kelvin changes history, leading to the timeline of the current movie. The previous (or "prime" timeline as it's being called) remains intact.

P.S. - The movie was terrible.
