Spock as hallucination, and why am I posting this?

just a couple of odd notes..
tos has at least two ice planets is not more.

i like prime uhura but she very much was a very spirited person at times.
;)

chekov prime was a science geek.. movie chekov was a science geek.
at least movie chekov didnt claim russians invented everything .

;)

ah how could elder spock be an hallucination if there was a ship that recognized
younger spock.

as you yourself pointed out elder spocks interaction with kirk and scotty throws a wrench into the matter.
;)

as does the idea that spock prime helped to find a new world for the vulcan refugees.
that would take interacting with a whole lot of people.

kirk in whatever reality is good at breaking things..
a car in this movie..
lots and lots of compturs for prime kirk as well as another star ship.
;)
 
hmm very possible..
;)
perhaps tos on was a resultof the bender..
why else would someone who hates transporters ect go to a place that uses them
commmonplace.
;)

but maybe bones is imaginary..
poof your figure just went away..
runs.. flees..

:p
 
Wait...the whole PRIME timeline is just an ice planet dream???? That's a bit of a let down. Although, it would eliminate all the lengthy timeline threads.... I'm becoming a bit faint...
 
"It was all a dream" is the absolute worst ending. I'll take the reset button any day.

I think the OP must have had a few supersized drinks during this film and passed out from bladder pain and this post was the result.
 
... Having said this, I'm an English major . . . Except for the problem of Ambassador Spock showing things up and creating a snag, pulling this summer flick into the ST universe. So what do I do? What any other self respecting English major would do. He's a *metaphor!*

:rolleyes:

No, any self-respecting English major would do two things:

1) Remember to hyphenate "self-respecting" and,

2) Regard this film as you would two different productions of "Hamlet" or "Romeo and Juliet" --- different actors, different sets, and different tone all because this is a different production with a different interpretation. Do you get all bent out of shape when you see two different productions of "Hamlet"?
 
Ever notice posters who preface their inane ramblings with "I am an expert in [field of study]" almost always show no actual acumen in said discipline?

Well, any time you do that you're pretty much jinxing yourself. And since most people equate English major with grammar major or book reviewer, you really can't win. :lol:
 
*these don't seem to be the same characters.* What the hell happened to Chekov, for example? And Uhura has such a calm grace to her that this woman seems to be lacking. Where's Spock's quiet dignified amusement? Why is he emo? And how did they manage to find someone I find even more obnoxious than Shatner? Why is this man trying to beat *everything up*??

Umm... it's not only an alternate reality, but these are also younger and more immature characters than we've seen in the TV series and especially the movies that you mention.

Oh, and they're different actors too. Of course there will be differences. To expect otherwise is unreasonable, IMO.
