How much Iowa are we going to see?

Probably nowhere near as much as we saw of "Kansas" (which was really Canada) in the 1978 Superman movie. Clark's upbringing was MUCH more important to whom he would become than anything about Iowa is to Kirk, IMO.
Seems to me Kirk became "James T. Kirk, leader of men and women" during and after his academy years, mostly.

Hopefully we will see enough to give the movie an epic feel but not too much as to "ground" the movie (it's not called Star Trek for nothing).
About forty-five seconds.
Or Abrams is rebooting Iowa's agriculture.

I suspect that BigC was confusing the two, but he wasn't that far off.
As a proud son of that part of the country, I can state unequivocally that -- despite not being a big Iowa crop -- potatoes in some form (fried, baked, or mashed) are as common in Midwest cuisine as beef. Which is to say, ubiquitous.
Key term: "meat and potatoes."
BigC, you took spelling lessons from Dan Quayle... right?
That's it! It's all so clear now! Why didn't I see it before?I didn't want to go to the Q word, though him being from INDIANA (another I state), that further cements my point!
Dan Quayle as Q... don't you see? It has hilarity, a famous cameo, a beloved ST character... All of the elements needed to make STXI a huge box office success!!!
No Effing way! Iowans (I grew up there) will BOYCOTT! Screw that, JJ "Reboot reality" Abrams!
Well, then maybe they grow potatoes in Bakersfield, CA.
I mean, I doubt young Kirk is speeding down the road in a Corvette with cornfields passing him by (or even soy beans). And while all of Iowa is not flat as a pool table (especially around where I grew up), I hope they avoid any mountains in the background during Kirk's joy ride.
Though I'm hoping to hear young Kirk say, "Dez Moinez."
They do, in fact. Also carrots and oil and C&W musicians.
There are people who say this, presumably?Though I'm hoping to hear young Kirk say, "Dez Moinez."

More than you'd think. Many are also the same people who think everyone from Iowa is an Iowa Hawkeye fan. (Which always fries my potatoes because I graduated from ISU.)
On thread, since the second team was out in Bakersfield shooting for what, one day with the young Kirks, I'd guess we're going to see very little of "Iowa" except perhaps on sets.
Yea, me too. I went to UNI!!
