I'm impressed that Jane noticed that the crewman who died while diving down to the drilling platform was wearing the red suit. I haven't seen any other reactors notice that. It's one of those great inside jokes that you catch only if you're familiar with the original series.

43:42 Mark! That's water! "Industrial" you say! Haha! That's Abrams hoping that we won't recognize a beer distillation plant when we see one! 😂😅

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

PS: My caveat is that people who viewed "Laverne & Shirley" on "ABC" back in the day are more likely than not to recognize one, as the girls worked in one! The opening credits montage has enough scenes inside their workplace to establish what work they do there. Most of the stories took place in their social lives. As for the movies? You know that they used places on land when what is supposed to be a ship’s deck is hard concrete! 😁

It was a powerful movie, and I felt it did honor the spirit of Star Trek. Actors did a phenomenal job, and writing was amazing.

[@7thsealord888]

Good reactions, guys. Spock and Uhura's romance does come as a bit of a surprise in this movie. But it isn't a MAJOR surprise, it goes with quite a few things that happened early in the original series. Uhura openly flirted with Spock a few times, they had a musical combo thing going in one episode, and she actually learned to play the Vulcan Harp.

23:30 If memory serves me right Nero’s ship the Narada is actually a Romulan mining ship enhanced by Borg technology. Which makes this ship well over 130 years more advanced than anything in Starfleet. In the time Nero comes from, Starfleet had just learned to fight the Borg on a more or less level playing field.

[@stevenspringer1599]

The opening sequence stands alone. One of myriad original show fans, I had never been able to take any of the films seriously. Ten minutes into this I sat in the theater with tears running down my face as this perfect Kirk birth addition to the Star Trek legend played out. No small part was the perfectly tuned performance of an actor I had never seen before. It was a perfect storm of production elements. That scene alone was worth waiting decades for.

[@frankiek2269]

Actually, while there wasn’t a “love interest” between Kirk and Uhura, they did have the very first interracial kiss on Television. Nichelle Nichols (Uhura actress - [1932-2022 R.I.P.] and William Shatner made ground breaking history together.

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

5:22 Mark! When "ABC" was showing "Lost" I viewed it, but when I saw this movie when it was new in 2009, I didn't recognize the blonde as being from that series! It was only recently when someone else pointed out that younger Kirk's father was "Thor" and that his mother is whatever her "Lost" character's name is, did I belatedly realize it! 🤔 😁

3:01 Mark! Heh! They're ignoring the escape pods in favor of the shuttlecrafts! Roger Ebert, was happy that there were enough of them for everyone, unlike the lifeboat situation with the "Titanic"!

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

@robbob5302 ! No. George was the runaway, and James took the prized antique "Cheverlot Corvette" from their paternal uncle and stepfather "Frank" if I recall right, to either bring him back or join him. But then it got changed to an act of defiance joy ride, and the walker was his best friend instead. "Narced"? Thanks to the "Nokia" device, the car was trackable, and Frank would know where his car was and who took it and why. 😁 I'm not sure about the name "Frank "! I only recently learned that the actor who played the "LAPD" officer in "Heroes" and played a "Star Wars" character and a commander in "Star Trek Beyond" had also been the uncle-stepfather, but was reduced to a voice-only role. 🤔

Jane and JV reactions are so funny sometimes..when Kirk and Sulu or Spock get in life and death situations..I find myself thinking, Guys they are main characters, calm down lol 😂

[@LordLOC]

Except this was a new timeline, they could technically have done anything they wanted and killed off a main character right away if they wanted. I mean they already nuked Kirk's father in the first 10 minutes and destroyed Vulcan.

[@shootingreal5945]

@LordLOC True but it's hard to believe that the big three of Star Trek for decades would die a permanent death...moreover Kirk's dad isn't a major character in the OG universe so his death doesn't mean much as far as danger for the core characters.

[@LordLOC]

@@shootingreal5945 True, but my point was they could have done anything they wanted. And in the 2nd movie they sort of did (badly imo, but you know, whatever lol) and I'd like to think if they ever made the 4th movie with the rumored return of Chris Hemsworth as Kirk's dad due to more time travel, it could have gone even further.

[@shootingreal5945]

I completely relate to the parenting thing changing your reaction to things. While yes, I probably would've cried before at that scene, I would've been far more upset watching as a parent.

I would like to see them continue with this timeline with the TNG series. See how the U.S.S Calvin's destruction changed all of Star Trek's future. With all of those deaths some people might not exist, or put other people in their position. Look what happened to Lt. Yarr going back in time instead of dieing by that tar creature. Then having a Romulan child.

A lot of the diverging timeline truly stems from the loss of George Kirk... at least based on the novel Final Frontier.... even the very design and time frame of the original Enterprise construction was altered as a result of his premature death. Loved how they used that as a means to alter the look of the ships as well as the character changes

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

7:24 Mark! Oh yeah! By the way! I'm not married, and I don't have a Human child. Yet, I was still affected. What is it with all of the reactors needing to be parents first, before they can react to such situations? You can still react as a child losing a parent! That's how I related to it. 😮

[@NPCRR]

You said you'd never seen a phaser run out of charge. In the TOS episode "The Omega Glory" (the one where the Enterprise encounters the Yangs and the Kohms, as well as Capt. Ron Tracey of the U.S.S. Exeter), towards the end of the episode, Tracey has the drop on Kirk. When he presses his phaser's trigger... nothing happens. His phaser if completely drained of power. Just a fun tidbit for you. :)

This movie has a special place in my heart. I broke plans with my dad to see it in theaters so I could hang out with my friends. Him and I were big into Star Trek. Unfortunately he had a fatal heart attack the day after we planned to see it. SPEND TIME WITH YOUR DAD!

[@beemill2242]

I feel like a lot of people miss the reference at the end of the movie when old Spock just mutters to himself "thrusters on full".

[@JimmieRayGiboney]

6:58 Mark! Kilometers! Haha! What I've been asking ever since is, is that "Nokia" device meant to be an antique too, with the car? Or is it meant to be a futuristic add-on? A device from 2009 would be an antique too by then. Or is it just Abrams being cheap again? 🤔

[@that-one-dude23]

Really my dude? I didn't have a kid when this movie came out but I had tears when George Kirk sacrificed himself to save everyone and his family. But I was always a big family person.

[@RabidTribble]

I'm a lifelong ST fan, and I loved this film. My only gripe (and it's only a minor gripe) is how the Kelvin could possibly carry enough shuttles to evacuate 800 people at once. As I remember, the original Constitution Class Enterprise only carried a small handful of shuttlecraft (25 at most), so unless the Kelvin's shuttlecraft were like a Tardis, only a fraction of the crew could use them to escape. Maybe the cargo shuttles could carry more?

[@Ferdy_Yuugitsune1040]

For Enterprise also has 10 cargo shuttles, 10 standard personnel shuttles (Type 7 shuttlecraft), 5 special purpose craft (Type-6 shuttlecraft) for 2 persons, 4 Class F shuttlecraft for 7 personels, and 12 two-persons shuttlepods (Type 15 Shuttlepod) for extravehicular and short-range use. That is possible. 🤔🤔

[@jeffthompson9622]

Not only is Chris Hemsworth, Marvel's Thor, in this, but so is Faran Tahir(Captain Robau), who played the leader of The Ten Rings in "Iron Man."

[@ricktaylor5397]

I thought Zachary Quinto captured Spock perfectly, but watching Ethan Peck’s portrayal in Strange New Worlds is much more interesting.

[@darthtreytos6680]

[@CaturdayNite]

Before Into Darkness, you should show Jane "Space Seed" from the original series. Partly to introduce to how these characters were played originally, and partly due to the nature of the film.

On the show, Uhura would try to flirt with Spock from time to time, and he would usually not recognize it as flirting because he tried to be unemotional - it was one of the running jokes. So no, they weren’t a thing in the show, but fans of the show can appreciate why they were in the movies
