Have you noticed how "Yesteryear" influnced Star Trek XI?

getting back to yesteryear..
the yesteryear garb is not the same. the only thing the ones in the movie and yesteryear have in common is the sash. otherwise they are both very different.

i still know how a basic description of the emotional aspect of vulcans cant help but be familar since it comes down to that : vulcans have emotions , more powerful then humans. that they have to control them or otherwise be over whelmed by them.

as i said earlier this was introduced long befoere yesteryear and has been stated numerous times since then.

Indeed. It was an homage to DC Fontana's backstory on Spock. Since the writers chose to focus on how Kirk and Spock grew up and came to be, it makes sense to incorporate this. It was a nice touch that they pulled in the visual references as well. The "teaching pods" were an homage to TVH in the same way. A lot of what Amanda says to Spock in TVH is echoed here in Sarek's conversation with young Spock.

I don't think it indicates a lack of creativity, in fact the opposite: They figured out how to incorporate these decidedly important elements of Spock's childhood into the film, while paying homage to a much loved and highly noted episode of the animated series. I applaud that attention to detail and how it honors the original.

Excellent point and well argued! Thank you.
