Moments for the Trekkies

I might just be imagining things, but there was an alien aboard the Kelvin who looked like "Arex" from TAS.
I noticed that too.
Was Simon Pegg's ring on the same finger that James Doohan lost in WWII, out of curiosity? Does anyone know?
they don't look particularly similar, but they're certainly not the same species. Intel's tie-in site says where Anschloss K'beynter is from.
Hmmm, In TWoK, when Kirk talks about the test, he's eating an apple! (IIRC - anyways)
Not sure if this is mentioned but McCoy's reference to his divorce was definitely something I noticed.
McCoy's being driven to Starfleet because of his divorce has been with the series since the 1960s. An episode that was supposed to deal with it and introduce McCoy's daughter was heavily re-written and that backstory was never discussed on-screen. So they definitely held true to certain aspects of Trek with this reference.

Really? The first thought I had was Arex, and someone put a picture of the two side-by-side and I can see the similarities. I don't know Arex's back-story though.

Where was the tribble?

Scotty had it in a cage on his desk when Kirk and Old Spock first meet him on Delta Vega. You can hear it purring throughout the scene, and see it in a couple shoots.
Did anyone else notice how the lights over all of the bridge stations (and transporter console) closely resembled the intercom units that were on the Enterprise from the original pilot (The Cage)? The appeared to be on adjustable arms, just like in the pilot.
Uhura's ear-thingy from the original series. There were numerous McCoy on-liners, but I think the people in the theater laughed the hardest at "Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a _____".
Yes! I caught onto this, too. It was a total insider's joke that only the die-hard fans would understand. I was pleased that, when her name was finally revealed, it was Nyota - something long established in the non-canon Star Trek novels.
Indeed they did. Its funny how that number keeps on popping up
Indeed, Here's another 47 (spoiler): http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b44/trekkiedane/Images/SciFi/ST-47.jpg
And that support beam they keep putting in the shot in the transporter room; one side reads something containing "3110" and the other side is marked "6110" -clearly that's a hidden 47!
Oh, yeah, who asked for a 42? -I've found one! ...Acting Captain's log Stardate 2258.42...

At Kirk's hearing the guy sitting just to the right of the foreman (from our perspective) has the name James Komack. James Komack also happens to be the name of a guy that directed an ep of TOS.

First off, saw the movie on Thursdays advanced preview. AWSOME.
- The first thing in the entire movie that we hear was the Kelvins scanner beeps.
Loved it, brilliant as its the first sound effect we hear, and it was prominant part of TOS.
- Pike in the wheelchair at the end, wasnt expecting that at all. Nice touch, even though it was played as though he was recovering from injuries, we may yet see his fate in a sequel. And, i too noticed his TMP inspired uniform, nice touch.
- The classic TOS communicators for the Kelvins era, even had TOS pip sounds, they were altered a bit for the Enterprise communicators later on.
- Obviously Uhuras ear piece.
- Nurse Chapel, didnt catch that, missed it completely. Ill look out when i see it next.
- McCoy--isms: "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?" - "You green blooded...." - "Dammit, Jim. Im a doctor, not a physicist" "Good God, Man"
- I didnt pick up on Kirk eating an apple during the simulation/genesis cave, nice catch. Also, a nice touch to have had Spock programme the simulation, a nice nod to TFF where he tested the new un-escapable brigg.
- Kirk asking Spock about his father in Spocks timeline. a touching scene acted and scripted well.
