3 New Clips on iesb [SPOILERS]
- Thread starter Flake
- Start date
I've watched the Robau clip a few times now. He's still a bad ass. Despite what happens. He must have known he wasn't going to make it back to the Kelvin, yet he went anyway. 
Is it just me or did the "mugshot" of Ambassador Spock look more like how Nimoy appeared in "Unification" rather than how he looks now?
It was kind of grainy. Hard to tell. Is there that much of a difference? 
If so, I'm so sure someone would explain that as the last documented image before Spock went underground. But that detail is so minute that I wouldn't care anyway.
If it IS from Unification, then isn't it great that the current crew used something from TNG for this film? Oh, how I love these references...
Close. Kirk was born in 2232 and the movie takes place in 2262.
The NX class would have been close to 70 years old and probably out of service for decades.

Is that stated in the film? Pine mentions in interviews he's playing a 28 year old.

Makes sense. The Enterprise NX-01 was decommissioned in 10 years from its launch.

For me, it happens when I post late at night.
It looks to be everything that has made me a naysayer...
...and yet I'm pretty goddamned excited. I think I'm actually going to enjoy this movie, lens flares and all.

That's ok. I shudder at my late night posts sometimes, myself.
I dunno about that, Look how old the Excelsior is, and that class was seen in DS9, post Generations, which sets it 79 years after the Enterprise B was launched? And the Excelsior itself was probably 5-10 years old by that point.
But prior to that, the original 1701 was scheduled to be decommissioned after 40 years of service, so perhaps the Excelsior and the Mirandas were among the first ships to attain that kind of longevity.
The NX-01, however, was decommissioned after a relatively short run. I would think that the further down the Trek timeline you went, the longer the ship classes tended to last (ie the Prometheus and Nova classes with the Enterprise J).
The NX-Class vessels were experimentalat the time, and with technology moving forward in the 70 years since Enterprise, new, larger starship classes would be in service.
The Kelvin actually makes a lot of sense between Enterprise and TOS. It has the larger saucer, the bigger spaceframe, the separated Engineering hull with navigational deflector and shuttle bay, while still employing the turretted phasers from the NX-class.
It also looks like it's been around a while, and beaten down a little, and it has a more industrial appearance, like the elegance we see later (in either TOS/Prime or Abrams universes) has not been refined as technology improves further.
This movie establishes Kirk as being born in 2233 I suspect, judging by the Robau clip.
