I'm wondering just how much of the script Nimoy read aside from his own lines....
I don't know, but he seemed thrilled with the movie in Austin.

The real "why" is why the studio threw 150 million at a decaying franchise.
Personally, I'm glad they did.
Yeah, this is it, exactly. If Spock becomes all human, he loses his duality and his inner conflict. That will definitely make him less interesting. Also, the dynamic between him and McCoy will change - they were supposed to be the two opposite forces affecting Kirk, one very emotional, one very logical... It will change everything, and I don't think in a positive way.

Exactly so.

We don't know much about early Spock or how he handled his double heritage.
We do know he laughed and smiled and he was shouting "THE WOMEN" and was different from the later era dude.
Perhaps JJ ABRAMS chose to do something cool and creative with that?
Yes, after a day of thinking about the movie, this itches a bit! Just a tiny little bitOther cons I had:
* The Spock / Uhura thing. Does not work for me. Is not believable for me. A shame, since otherwise Spock was quite good. Quinto had excellent small touches - straightening his uniform, moving in a certain way.
Which reminds me: there were tribbles where they found Scotty* The small "cute" alien Scotty had with him. I hope they kill him off before the next movie. We don't need any cutesy funny little critters on the Enterprise, and if we do, they better be tribbles.
Silly me, I forgot to mention the best bit!And of course the Urban & Cho singing performance before the film was wonderful too.![]()
Don't run, I agree with you, they could. But he said that so many times, he could let Leonard say it onceOK, I'll say this, then run and hide in case people want to throw things. But I'm dead serious.
So, Nimoy does the, "Space, the final frontier..." thing at the end of the movie. I know Shatner doesn't "do cameos," but how KEWL would it have been if the movie ended with HIM saying those words. No warning. No appearance by him anywhere else in the film. Just those words.
That could've been a moment. Seriously.

"The flick starts out with a bang as the USS Kelvin is attacked by a giant Romulan ship that appears out of a black hole. The ship is almost instantly crippled, the Captain summoned by Nero, the movie’s villain who is searching for Spock. When the Captain leaves, he promotes a young man named George Kirk to captain the ship."
"Young Kirk honorably runs the ship, successfully evacuating everybody before it is destroyed, including his wife, in the middle of giving birth. It’s actually a very touching scene, about as perfectly effecting and emotional as I could have hoped for."
"It also kicks off the real split between this universe and the Trek universe we all know. Without any cop-outs, Abrams and his team establish that with this single event everything has changed. In short, it’s the perfect set up for a reboot. It can (and does, with Nimoy’s appearance as Spock Prime, as he’s listed in the credits) respect the originals while being free to do its own thing."
"Everything we have seen still exists, just not in this reality. I think it’s pretty genius, actually, but only if they stick to this universe now. I’d hate to see them go back and forth with the existing Trek reality and this one in further sequels. I like the world (or maybe universe is a better term considering the material) that Abrams and his team has created here. I like the cast he assembled, I like the way this new universe turns some old Trek landmarks on their heads, while keeping true to what’s really important to each character."

I really don't want to revisit old episodes. I hope they'll do the censored stuff and moreSeriously, where is "amok time" going to happen? The whole tpau meeting kirk. We finally get an interesting back story about her and now we have no back story.
It is kind of like rewriting romeo and juliet without the family fued.
Seriously, where is "amok time" going to happen?
